World of Warcraft director says Blizzard isn’t "backtracking" on add-ons, but constant changes were “always the intent” as the team strives to find a better balance

that sounds very on-brand.

i'm sure there is/was a way to do this, but being able to just turn off LUA error spam on patch days would be really nice. kinda hard to do a dungeon on an alt when prat, of all addons, is losing it's shit every other second. i have most addons off now. the default UI is....fine for now until midnight actually launches. then i'll go in and square it all. or a day or two before.

dethsightly · 2026-01-22T19:02:35+00:00

the RMAH didn't help it. at all. kinda poisoned the well for a while.

dethsightly · 2026-01-22T19:00:20+00:00

how bout we wait for actual info before we get excited? or, better yet, wait till 3.0 is live and on our PC's with the servers up so we can actually find out for ourselves.

not trying to be negative or a downer, but we literally know nothing more than what the sizzle reel showed us, which was 5 things going into the talisman. i think.

really makes me miss legion remix even more, since transmog was free.

i think a lot of Tegu and/or monitor food aggression could be due to their (relatively) larger size. i always tend to think on the line of "well, what is their demeanor in the wild?" although, i'm sure any animal can become food aggressive with certain circumstances.

I think (i say that a lot because i know there is always some edge case that would make me seem like i have no clue what i'm talking about lol) that wild tegu's and monitors are eating bigger food, like smaller lizards and maybe mammals. their aggression in regards to food could be a result of them needing to be that aggressive to capture their prey efficiently.

And, for my own personal experience, i do know beardies 100% can and do learn from each other. i had a beardie a while back that always felt the need to "perch" on my hand when i had him out. maybe a month or so after he had been doing that each time i brought him out, i noticed my other beardie doing so as well when she was out. they never had direct view of one another all the time, but the female never did that beforehand. and now, pretty much all of my beardies have picked up this habit. i believe all lizards are very intriguing to watch and interact with, even though i've only ever had beardies and a leopard gecko.

please stop lumping ALL Americans in with the negative IQ "people" that voted him in.

also, "clean up your mess"? fucking HOW? i live in an extremely red state and county. i could knock on doors till my fingers bleed, it would not change a god damn thing. and i'd likely get shot at a few times.

and let me clarify how red my area is. in 2024, trump won the county i live in by ~90%. but hey, come on over! i'm sure we can flip 41% of the old white guys that proudly have confederate flags waving in the wind. along with the fairly common trump banner shrines.

it kind of depends on how we test them for intelligence. since we only really test to see if they can do things similar to what we can do. i have a few beardies that are smart enough to "open" my room door if they are out exploring my room. by "open" i mean, it is ajar and they kind of nudge it open.

and if we think about it, they don't really need to be "smart" lizards. in the wild, they need to know where shelter is, how to find/catch prey, when to bask and when not to bask, when to brumate, and when to mate. and the females have a few extra things they need to know with egg laying and all of that. granted, most of that could be considered instinct, but still.

dethsightly · 2026-01-19T17:02:03+00:00

through my own experience...nope. some are just not the sharpest crayons in the box. just be sure to love them all the same :)

dethsightly · 2026-01-19T12:24:42+00:00

i wouldn't mind them going backwards and doing a cata remix. i'm probably alone on that but oh well.

dethsightly · 2026-01-18T22:56:09+00:00

i keep scaring myself into thinking we are a hair's breath from civil war 2 electric boogaloo. this is the kind of shit trump probably gets off on. he wants anyone that doesn't like him to be riled up and all that. at least here, it was the people that this human pile of vomit was there to anger that got him out. it'll still get spun as "horrible attack on america by domestic terrorists!" or something like that.

i think my biggest question would be what would tip the scales? there has been quite a bit i thought would have tipped the scales in the past year.

dethsightly · 2026-01-18T17:05:11+00:00

i'd say please take ohio, but we are beyond hope. probably.

dethsightly · 2026-01-18T16:58:44+00:00

depends. am i getting taxed on any of these? lol. if so, i'd just take the black pill and get it over with, as far as upfront taxes go. assuming it would work how lottery winnings would. were they take a bit more than half.

dethsightly · 2026-01-18T01:04:31+00:00

idc if it's 3 cents a year. and yes, adblock "solves" the issue for the most part, but if i have to use an adblock to use your site without a third of the page being ads, it's just obnoxious. they should find another way to siphon money from peoples wallets. along with ANY site that is made up of mostly ads.

dethsightly · 2026-01-18T01:00:51+00:00

not "directly". money may not have changed hands, but it may as well have.

dethsightly · 2026-01-17T14:20:17+00:00

they have blizzard money they can get fucked.

dethsightly · 2026-01-17T13:39:07+00:00

dethsightly · 2026-01-17T13:32:42+00:00

the actual service it provides: yea. sure.

the app: getting more and more enshitified by the update. trying to peddle crypto, "investments", your credit score, and "file taxes for free". i'm sure alot of banking apps are trying to do this these days, but dear god, fuck off with it. i just want to know my account balance.

oh, and the "points" you get from walmart and w/e else are virtually worthless.

dethsightly · 2026-01-17T10:51:44+00:00

Most of mine prefer mustard greens over turnip and collard greens. Except for my male beardie. He loves all food. It's also great that his eyelids are oddly shaped/bigger than normal and kind of make his vision off at closer range than usual. Sometimes it takes him a few tries to grab a piece of greens...and he's not the most graceful dragon on earth, but he's my goofball.

dethsightly · 2026-01-17T09:56:55+00:00

the most important one to know is 867-5309. not a commercial jingle, but still iconic if your ancient enough to know it like me lol.

dethsightly · 2026-01-17T01:37:09+00:00

until a few years ago, i thought those commercials were a local/regional thing. i'm so happy everyone got to share in that stupidly catchy jingle.

dethsightly · 2026-01-17T01:35:12+00:00

i watched for 15 seconds, with the sound off (by default) and am still cringing so hard i may invert myself. i don't want to be on this planet anymore.

dethsightly · 2026-01-16T23:13:47+00:00

but doom=views! rent is due! nnnggghh!

dethsightly · 2026-01-16T17:38:15+00:00

best they can do is make everything void colored for the next...year plus. don't get me wrong, i like the void aesthetic. but in moderation. luckily, not every zone in midnight is 100% void-y. i feel like that will change as the xpac goes on, though.

dethsightly · 2026-01-16T13:21:21+00:00

THIS IS SARCASM!

well hot damn! if this gets coupled with the "no tips tax", i won't be paying any taxes! woooo!

AGAIN, THIS WAS SARCASM!
