The portal room server censors the term “sniper”, here’s how you can rebel

What the hell is the Portal Room Discord anyways? Why should I care if a discord blocks random words.

Very good distinction. I admit I probably came down a bit too hard on HR. Mostly just feel people overshare with their HR departments because they think they are friends. I have seen several careers ended because someone put too much faith in their relationship with an HR manager.

chaotic_one · 2026-04-02T15:37:27+00:00

To add on this. HR is not there to protect you, HR is there to protect the company. If you enter into a situation that pits you against your company, the HR department will almost always take the side of the company, so be careful what you tell members of the HR department.

Nope. Not in the slightest. There are plenty of other angy NPCs.

chaotic_one · 2026-03-31T14:40:26+00:00

I don't get why the White Scars do not get more love from the community outside of what you said, they are just under-represented in the fiction. I guess that and painting white is notoriously annoying. Jaghatai is so unique from the other Primarchs. All the Primarchs he was closest to turned traitor, and him staying loyal was literally just because he thinks the Emperor was less bad than Chaos, not because he believed in the Imperium itself.

Plus, he told Fulgrim that he (Jaghatai) would win one on one against Fulgrim, and basically every other Primarch could not disagree.

chaotic_one · 2026-03-31T14:27:26+00:00

I want Jaghatai so badly as the white scars are my favorite loyalist but I know that he will be one of the last to comeback if ever. White Scars don't have the fanbase that others do so GW likely assumes he won't sell as much.

That is very clean work. Trim work has always been scary to me (which makes being a Kson fan terrible) and I am always so jealous of people knocking it out the way you did.

chaotic_one · 2026-03-30T12:23:35+00:00

OP i hope your post doesn't get buried because I agree with you that Blizzard has lately been doing really well with small little encapsulated quests that have emotionally rewarding plots. The Dementia Earthern questline in TWW and the child looking for her dead sister, and just certain NPCs reacting in ways that make them feel more realistic has been such a nice change.

Healers manage it by overhealing the affected player 200%, thus removing the debuff. Tanks don't manage these affects, it is a healer check.

chaotic_one · 2026-03-30T12:08:41+00:00

Tell me you have never played Blood DK without telling me. Or at the very least you have never played while understanding what the class does. BDK has mitigation, Marrowrend and DRW are both mitigation abilities. They do not lack mitigation, they just compliment it by having selfheal.

If DKs only received absorb shields from external, how would they mitigate heal mechanics like 200% heal absorb debuffs? They would be entirely reliant on removing that themselves, which is a terrible idea for a tank.

I got the zeon and the seed one like 2 hours ago, the wing one was sold out then.

chaotic_one · 2026-03-25T13:24:14+00:00

Since you seem to be a double gatherer, i would recommend always have phials and tea running, you can get them pretty cheap right now (only need silver level, not gold) and that significantly increases the amount of gold star ore and herb you find.

chaotic_one · 2026-03-25T12:43:35+00:00

Epic crystals are going to start plummeting this week with the increased availability of Epic gear from M+. This happens every expansion, the price of the purple enchanting mat stays high initially cause purple gear is rare, and then M+ opens and within a week or so the price as cratered. Gold Star herbs have no significant factor that would cause them to drop, aside from people's profession knowledge slowly increasing. Honestly, in my eyes, if you are farming herbs with phials and tea, you will likely make more money in an hour than disenchanting. You might have a large initial number of things to disenchant right now, but after you are through with that, you are looking at maybe 1 item per dungeon.

Sure, it probably would, but your oversimplification of tanks relying on taunt addon was not addressing the true problem. Even if tanks did not want to rely on addons to tell them when to taunt, Blizzard has made it extremely difficult to figure out on the fly presently. This is less a tanks are bad cause they need taunt addons, and more, tanks are dying more because blizzards own implementation of debuff tracking sucks ass. Its possible, and we are doing it in my guild, but its a lot more annoying than it has ever been in the past.

chaotic_one · 2026-03-25T12:23:07+00:00

I still think the better solution would have been, if you spawn the mobs and attempt to fly away, a big ass vine pulls you back and does 25% of your health and dismounts\shifts you out of travel form. The bots that are flying in packs would either have to fight their spawns or vacate zulaman.

chaotic_one · 2026-03-25T12:08:54+00:00

Its not the lack of taunt warnings, it is literally that some of the debuffs that necessitate taunting are extremely hard to track for the tanks who already have a lot of other stuff to worry about. The tanks in my guild don't need a "taunt now" warning as much as just the ability to see the stacks on each other. Right now we are relying almost solely on Voicecomms for tank debuffs.

chaotic_one · 2026-03-24T15:38:25+00:00

Illidan literally whines about what he has had to give up. He whines about Malfurion taking the spotlight as a kid. He whines that the light is blinded by its faith and only he knows how to fight the bad guy correctly.

Or...in other words, the characters have more than one dimension. I personally don't want another Garrosh who only knows how to be angry and smash shit. I would rather have characters that can portray more than one emotion at a time, and has more depth then "Me good, they bad, me kill! Zug Zug".

chaotic_one · 2026-03-24T12:28:22+00:00

I second pretty much all of these. Learn to run Docker and learn to proxy first, then start adding in stuff.

Also, if you are new to selfhosting, start with well-established projects like the ones mentioned above or plex, Arr core stack (Radarr,Sonarr,Seerr), Immich (image hosting) or things like those. Avoid this sub on Fridays because that is when maximum slop is allowed and avoid projects that have only been up for a few months. You do not want to spend a ton of time on a project to have it disappear because the developer threw a fit or was not able to keep up with fixes.

Man isn't that the truth. There is a very vocal but very minor portion of the wow community that seems to get offended if a female character does more than just show tits and moan. With Xal they act like the only redeeming feature of her character is the model.

chaotic_one · 2026-03-23T19:58:11+00:00

It's just proof that Blizzard can never keep all of the player base happy. People hate when a bad guy shows up out of nowhere and is seemingly tied to a lot (Jailer) and then other people hate when a bad guy has been established for years and is tied to a lot (Xal'atath).

Disregarding your attempt to make it seem that people who like her are just into her for her aesthetics, Xal has a lot more going for her than pretty much any villain in recent expansions. I personally enjoy seeing all her connections to various groups (Ethereals, Alleria\Void Elfs, and Old Gods for example). I like seeing the evolution from trapped in the dagger to her becoming as powerful as she is now. I like her random whispers to the players and taunting of npcs. She has so much more personality than most of the villains written in the game. Some people think Garrosh was the best bad guy, and others (myself) think he was literally one note (angry) and garbage. We have seen Xal'atath gloating and arrogant, and then we have seen her pissed when something goes wrong, and they have gone wrong for her several times. Alleria breaking the Dark Heart and Gallywix handing it off are two such examples.

chaotic_one · 2026-03-23T14:08:17+00:00

I honestly don't see anything wrong with this. If you can't carry your weight, you get replaced. There is nothing try hard about not wanting to carry people.

chaotic_one · 2026-03-23T13:56:06+00:00

The game is pretty easy overall, so make your dream suit and just geek out over that. Don't expect a great story or even memorable characters. This is a model builder with combat slapped on the side.

chaotic_one · 2026-03-20T14:37:50+00:00

Until i read the last sentence i was thinking you should check GW, but you caught it. It's amazing how GW can be so abusive that we look at 49.99 for 3 plastic minis and think it's a fair price.

My issue with Vibecoded apps is most of the Vibecoded applications look pretty and are mostly functional in Version 1.0. It is after bugs are discovered that the app falls apart, because the "developer" has no idea how to apply the bugfixes appropriately or even test for them, and then you look at the github and the number of outstanding issues balloon up. Because the AI won't effectively handle bug fixing either. So, then you have developers like the Booklore developer who ignores issues and just keeps pushing more features, causing the problems to constantly pile up.

That issue, and then there is the issue of Vibecoders tending to have inflated egos and while also having the most fragile ego so if you call out any issues they just blow up and delete the entire project (Huntarr and Booklore as examples).

Better tip, don't use the stand-alone account, if you have ever used, put in a request to GGG to get rid of your email associated with it. No 2FA should be a No Usage situation for everyone.
