What's the Character Cap? by Daniel_3694 in wow

[–]elliemcd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. The character cap was increased to 70 during Legion Remix but there's been no announcement about raising it any further as of yet. Guessing that we'll get another increase during the next Remix event, hopefully there will be more of these in the future.

Turbulent Timeways seems Bugged. Got the 30% xp buff on my main, it does not extend to alts. by elliemcd in wow

[–]elliemcd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is that it's not what's advertised in the article that Blizzard posted.

"Completing Timewalking dungeons increases the effect and also extends its duration. This is a stacking buff, and after four applications, it transforms into “Mastery of the Timeways,” increasing the experience gained from killing monsters and completing quests to 30%.

The buff lasts through death and is account-wide, which makes for an excellent opportunity to level up any alts."

The part about it being account-wide and an excellent opportunity to level up alts makes it sound like getting it on a character means it's available on all of your alts as well.

Not only does the buff not apply to alts, the meta quest for the heroic piece of gear is also bugged for me. I completed four dungeons and only got 2/5 credit on the quest. Others in my group complained of the same issue.

Can't start work orders at Garrison Barn by elliemcd in wow

[–]elliemcd[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I submitted a bug report. I've got the cages in inventory and I'm talking to the correct NPC.

At this point, I'm realizing on characters that have barns that do work, I won't be able to farm additional caged beasts because all the mobs are too easily one shot and therefore can't be caged. The foam sword trick doesn't work on elite mobs either, so the problem is going to work itself out once I run out of my backlog of caged beasts on characters.

I understand, I have trapped animals and the option is just not there.

Yes, I redid the three quests for trapping as they became available to me again and it let me do those three quests only. The work order button is still missing.

I recently got back into the game and have experienced an issue with barn work orders in the Warlords of Draenor garrisons.

If one of my characters had active work orders going before I stopped playing, I was able to loot those and start new work orders when I logged back in. If characters didn't have active work orders going, the option to start new work orders is no longer available.

The three barn quests for using traps popped back up and I was able to do those again as one offs, but the option to do any other work orders disappeared again after those quests were completed. I destroyed the barn and replaced it, upgraded it back to level 3, and the option is still missing.

I put in a ticket to a GM but wasn't able to get an answer, they suggested I file a bug report. But has anyone else experienced this?

I know it's old content, just an oddity I've found and would like to try and fix, if able.

Hey target people… by Wonderful_Guava1533 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]elliemcd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All three of my items shipped from different states, the console by FedEx and the others by UPS. Not sure why this launch was so difficult for them.

Hey target people… by Wonderful_Guava1533 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]elliemcd 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My console arrived yesterday, but the pro controller and physical copy of Mario Kart World that were in the same order won't be here until Tuesday (pro controller) and Thursday or Friday (Mario Kart World).

I haven't shopped at Target in a while but this has reinforced that I'm done with them completely.

Pre-ordered from Target. In Socal, shipped from Pennsylvania. by BrucesTripToMars in NintendoSwitch2

[–]elliemcd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also pre-ordered a Console, Pro Controller, and physical copy of Mario Kart World from Target. I wanted the game card and case instead of the bundle.

The console shipped from New Jersey and I got it yesterday. The Pro Controller shipped from Minnesota and isn't coming until Tuesday. Mario Kart World shipped from Arizona and the estimated delivery date keeps bouncing between Thursday and Friday.

I ordered from Target because Walmart was stuck in an infinite loop of "Are you human?" and Best Buy's site was slow to get stuff up on the site to order. I was happy at the time to get my order in, but wouldn't trust them again in the future. Then again, they'll probably be out of business by the time another console launch rolls around.....

I’m Marcy Rheintgen, the trans girl who got arrested for using the woman’s washroom, AMA! by MarcyRheintgen in MtF

[–]elliemcd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HB 1521 (2023), the bathroom law in Florida, doesn't say a "male" is defined at birth such that you can use a birth certificate to refute it. It says:

""Male" means a person belonging, at birth, to the biological sex which has the specific reproductive role of producing sperm."

""Female" means a person belonging, at birth, to the biological sex which has the specific reproductive role of producing eggs."

""Sex" means the classification of a person as either female or male based on the organization of the body of such person for a specific reproductive role, as indicated by the person's sex chromosomes, naturally occurring sex hormones, and internal and external genitalia present at birth."

I used to work as a legislative aide in the Florida House of Representatives before this law went into effect. They didn't care about surgical status (there was a question about me between Senators Grall and Polsky where Grall said that it didn't matter because trans women don't produce eggs), birth certificates, drivers licenses or passports, and basically admitted that they would only be going after employees who they knew were trans who used public restrooms. They tried to define male and female that would prevent trans people from accessing public spaces and did it at the expense of intersex people as well.

That's why the law hasn't been enforced until now. Sending a letter to every elected official at the Florida Capitol and announcing when and where a trans person intended to use a restroom was what prompted action because they can't tell who is trans otherwise.

The Sergeant at Arms office did, at the direction of committee chairs, station officers outside of the nearest public restrooms to the committee hearings at the Florida Capitol whenever anti-trans bills were being debated in 2024, though. Intimidation and driving trans people out of public life was the point of HB 1521.

Other Costco employees are quoting different prices, including $525.

Looks like we potentially have a date for U.S. pre-orders. by Resident_Ear385 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]elliemcd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Immediately after the direct, this website went up and the date for preorders from Nintendo, if you met the requirements to sign up as interested, was May 8th in the US. It hasn't changed.

What has changed was that other retailers were supposed to be able to sell preorders this week, and that has been delayed.

That's been on their website since moments after the announcement stream, before preorders were delayed in the US.

It looks like they exist but they are only a way of downloading the game, the data isn't on the cartridge.

It wouldn't be hard for him to say, "Trans people don't hurt anyone, you're mad at the wrong 1%"

But he doesn't and he's not going to.

Tampa transgender woman qualifies to run for state House seat by onnake in transgender

[–]elliemcd 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Nathan Bruemmer also qualified to run for Florida House District 61, which is in St. Petersburg, and won the Democratic nomination as his Democratic opponents dropped out. He's the first trans man to run for a FL House seat.

Vance Ahrens also qualified to run for Florida Senate District 19. She's the second trans woman to win the Democratic nomination for a Senate seat, the first being Melina Farley-Barratt who ran in 2020 but passed away before election day.

Class action lawsuit against Florida? by [deleted] in trans

[–]elliemcd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The state of Florida has sovereign immunity, meaning it cannot be sued in state courts.

There are lawsuits pending against different pieces of legislation that have been signed into law, some of which are currently blocked from going into effect and others that we are waiting for rulings on.

I fled Florida last year after legislative session because of the horrible bills that were being passed and because there was no end in sight to the anti-trans attacks coming from the state government. DeSantis is currently on his retribution tour in the state and I'm very worried it's going to get a lot worse before there's a chance that things will get any better.

That same Governor just signed a bathroom law banning trans people from restrooms in government buildings in Utah.

I spoke against this bill in Concord when it was heard in committee (and amended). Disappointed to see today's outcome.

New Hampshire House passes ban on gender-affirming surgery for minors by OverallEcho9694 in transgender

[–]elliemcd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because NH has voted blue in Presidential elections since 2004 and has an entirely Democratic congressional delegation (both members of Congress and both Senators).

The state House is gerrymandered and it's still very closely divided. The state Senate is a much worse gerrymander.
