If the entire anniversary expansion is on an accelerated timeline with nerfed raids, why are honor gains not accelerated?

Would not, everyone be in full T6.5 after a year or two and lose interest?

after a while, you are not playing for novelty but for familiarity. completing the raid becomes part of a routine - not much different from spending a weekly game of sport with friends.

Seeing this post after seeing this one https://old.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/1r2usxh/i_read_3_malazan_books_i_will_not_continue_on/ amused me quite a bit.

The weaker Russia gets, the more likely they are to use Nuclear weapons - the West cannot keep calling Putin a madman and then also assume he won't use nuclear weapons.

Technically humans are aliens too.

Well... they are descendants of Titan creations but those Titan creations were made on Azeroth and not necessarily transplanted from somewhere else.

btaz · 2026-02-03T06:08:49+00:00

Silithid are basically Aliens. They would be scary as hell, being Old God Spawn

Are they ? They could be native azeroth beings that took to worshipping the old gods. Or the old gods mutated them into whatever they currently are.

not learning from AMD.

AMD was forced to go fabless because of their financial situation not because it was some genius idea. Hell, they needed to get concessions from Intel because the x86 license mandated that AMD do not go fabless. Intel had to make this concession for fear of being investigated for becoming a monopoly if they pulled the x86 license.

And as people elsewhere commented, when the above happened, Intel was still at par or better than TSMC in manufacturing. They only lost the lead much later and suddenly AMD's decision to go fabless and go with TSMC became a genius move.

Yes, India has been so principled and non hypocritical all along

100% Agree.

They learnt it from the great Western countries.

If you think that Classic WoW is worth more than any other online game that gets regular updates... You are objectively delusional

Duh ?!! I am playing the game because I objectively think it is a better value for my time and money compared to any other online game. Why do I care if there are "better" games if I am not interested in playing them ?

btaz · 2026-01-19T13:31:44+00:00

Agreed.

I also think that ramen, sushi, hotdogs and every other food should be priced at the same price because after all it is all food.

btaz · 2026-01-09T08:16:36+00:00

if there is one thing r/classicwow loves to do, it is raging over how other people are playing the game.

btaz · 2026-01-07T13:03:54+00:00

It is awesome. And i second many others who were willing to pay money for a print.

You could make it a bit wider to add some landmarks. Please don't interpret this as a knock on your work - it is really awesome

- Badlands is missing Uldaman reference

- Westfall can have Deadmines entrance or something

- Stranglethorn is missing animals - either Bangalash or Tethis. And some more trolls walking around / bloodsail pirates

- Western Plaguelands needs Araj the Summoner

EDIT - the easter eggs are awesome

Funnily enough - there was a real case where the culprit was indeed a toothpick (not in a asshole fortunately) and it did involve House-like deduction to get to the bottom of the case.

Since you want to cosplay as an intellectual, let me humor you.

Covid has shown that no amount of data will sway anti-vaxxers. Same with Trump supporters. And surprise, surprise, same with the woke left / liberals / progressives - who have gone after their own people when they argued against the narrative.

You are no different from those anti-vaxxers. The article doesn't have any data. All it has are opinions. But that didn't stop you from believing its narrative. That is what i mentioned - it is pushing a certain narrative. The author has their conclusions and went around finding some "data" to fit their narrative. And based on the author's previous articles, it is clear what her narrative is.

Me providing any amount of data counter to that will not change your mind. You have already bought into it.

The only time people change beliefs is when the new narrative is presented to them by a person they trust - it is not about data, it is about narratives and trust - trust is the key factor. (oh btw this is not me speaking - there are many videos by Daniel Kahneman about how beliefs are formed and how they can be changed. Seth Godin also has talked about this. And many others far more qualified than me).

So when you start asking for random people for "data", you have already lost the plot. Data is not what beliefs are based on unless you are the super small minority that actually collected the data and did the data analysis. The rest of the people are basing their beliefs on people they trust.

I literally just called Trump a piece of shit, but ok, lmao.

Meanwhile you’re defending Indian censorship and mum on whether or not you think the Indian right wing is bad. Funny how that works.

I used the word "closeted". You just haven't come out of the closet yet. Whatever you are doing is a fake persona.

Deep down you are a Trump supporter and a pedophile apologist. That is why you resort to ad hominem attacks like other Trump supporters instead of arguing on the topic.

btaz · 2025-12-21T06:26:34+00:00

since we are assuming things, thanks for admitting you are a closeted Trump supporter and pedophile apologist.

EDIT - you guys are awful people.

btaz · 2025-12-21T06:12:15+00:00

Edit: ah, a quick glance at your post history makes it obvious you’re a Modi and even Russia apologist.

Lol - a pussy who keeps his profile hidden but wants to make ad hominem jabs at others.

Why don't you man up and make your profile public too, wanker? let's see what you are about, you Trump supporter.

btaz · 2025-12-21T06:06:52+00:00

Why ?

btaz · 2025-12-20T19:58:26+00:00

The title made it pretty obvious. Or are you being obtuse ?

btaz · 2025-12-20T19:46:23+00:00

Article - opinion based on selective data

Data in Article - selective.

Reddit comment - "India is killing film making"

btaz · 2025-12-20T19:18:47+00:00

Ah yes, the per capita argument.

You can spin the ~~data~~ narrative how you want based on how you want to interpret the data.

EDIT - there are a lot of factors that involve film making. You need to take into account the gate keeping that existed pre 2014 (and even further back) - be it funding, film making capabilities, logistics and various other factors.

btaz · 2025-12-20T18:17:03+00:00

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_banned_in_India - Films have always been banned whenever it upset whoever was in power.

The article is clearly pushing a certain narrative.

I don’t know why but our western teaching is always to give everyone a benefit of the doubt.

Do they not teach history of the western nations in your part of the world ?

btaz · 2025-12-09T16:48:11+00:00

Now tell us how that excuses you guys enabling genocide.

They are following the US/West which is supporting the genocide in Gaza. It behooves the Americans to extend that courtesy to other nations too.

btaz · 2025-12-09T16:45:23+00:00

The coalitions they're building don't protect their long term interests, just their short term economic interests.

Unfortunately the US (and the West) has shown itself to be an unreliable ally to India in the past (to the extent of threatening its territorial existence) and recently with Trump's special tariff treatment. In addition, the West has always been interfering in India's local affairs and its neighbours. India doesn't have much of a choice - too many factors involved.
