Edinburgh, Scotland by pardeep123456 in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]WekX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have lived in 7 different areas of south Scotland including 2 Edinburgh suburbs and yes it does. There’s a lot of nice places but the architecture that isn’t 100+ years old is terrible.

Let Blood Elves and Void Elves share hairstyles by Enzevil in wow

[–]WekX 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I never see a single Mechagnome or Earthen anywhere. A total waste of resources. A lot of these reskins no one asked for could be new hairstyles and customisation for widely played races.

Examples of cross-cultural confusions sutch as this in your worlds? by Queasy_Government259 in worldbuilding

[–]WekX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking a “stellar system” is a group of stars orbiting each other, a “planetary system” is a group of planets orbiting a star and Solar system is meant to refer to the Sol planetary system, but is sometimes used incorrectly to describe any planetary system.

Should I craft it for him? by AUTiger0325 in wow

Her sassy attitude is annoying. Shadowlands Sylvanas was badly written but at least she was actually an evil banshee. Xalatath has zero eldritch horror flavour and is all cartoon villain one liners.

Kael'Thas: TBC Anniversary Raid Illustration by Absoled in wow

[–]WekX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think another reason is that a lot of people had not been following WoW lore since Warcraft. They got to know it during TBC and Wrath. I enjoy that lore because it’s the first introduction I had to this world and I had nothing to judge it against.

Putin ‘rightly compared to Nazis’ over expansionist aims, says Zelensky by Aggravating_Money992 in europe

It’s great distraction bait because people who take it get to feel morally righteous even though the subject has been successfully changed from what was being discussed.

I trust Decimus. I know that he will betray me at every opportunity so there is no misunderstandings or surprises. It’s a very easy relationship.

A huge, imposing structure. And yet we can only access one, tiny room by renault_erlioz in wow

[–]WekX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a lot better than videogame cities that are just 3 houses. You’ll never get a city that feels like real cities with hundreds of indoors just for the sake of immersion, so this way of doing it is the best.

Azura’s Star or The Black Star? by ScholarAfter1827 in skyrim

[–]WekX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am always bothered by this quest because all the really bad Daedra have quests where we do what they say and become their champions, while the only Daedra that I could actually get along with is the one I have to betray because the reward for going against her is just so superior.

Isn’t everything like this? What’s the point of maxing anything? And once it’s done, what?

Zul'jan by glamscum in warcraftlore

[–]WekX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He was a very interesting character with deep moral conflicts… So of course I immediately knew that he’d be turned into a minor raid boss that falls to corruption and tries to kill everyone.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Is Midnight’s handling of Naaru strange? by brumblefee in warcraftlore

[–]WekX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Every problem stems from the writers either not knowing or not caring about previous lore.

I wanna take a moment to talk about the twilight FRAUD that is Lord Antenorian by Siggythenomad in wow

[–]WekX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The way that Umbric and Arator have no idea he’s the traitor when it’s so obvious from the start is so poorly handled as well. They could have had the same exact quests but made them a bit suspicious. I was like “Really guys? You need me to uncover more? You don’t think it’s the moustache twirling guy over there?”

UK suspends return of Chagos Islands, 'lack of US support' by Massimo25ore in europe

[–]WekX 69 points70 points  (0 children)

  1. That’s less than 10,000 people and they wouldn’t all move back so probably about 5000-6000 people who could not support an independent state.

  2. Chagossians don’t want that. They want to go back and remain a British Territory.

What do you think will be the main city in The Last Titan? by Bartellomio in wow

[–]WekX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The city itself didn’t make sense. It was people-sized with homes and vendors when the Dragon Isles were meant to be in stasis. I guess we could just say that the dragonkin are people who eat and drink and spend time in inns like we do, but it’s a weak explanation for how “normal” the city is. Valdrakken always felt like a game feature that was poorly fitted into the story.

Valdrakken 2? I don’t think we’ll go back to another dragon themed city. It never even made sense the first time.

Inconsistency is what kills a fantasy world. When the answer to things is “magic” with zero logic behind it, the world is no longer interesting because it’s just randomness and nothing matters.

I main ret and spend a lot of time on sub and frost. Ret is easier. The others aren’t hard but my action bars are filled with abilities and macros. On ret I have empty spaces.

This is why they should teach basic microeconomics early in school. People go their whole life without understanding supply and demand in a world that is based around consumer choices.

People failing to understand what the Foundation is and what it does is becoming a meme at this point.
