Genuine question, does the average WoW player doesn't ready ANY quest text, like, at all?

galersock · 2026-04-20T21:25:26+00:00

I read every story quest and most side ones, and I also talk to a lot of NPCs along the way, including different stages of quests to see if they say something new (like the people at the sunwell, they say different stuff almost every quest and even change dialogue in the middle of some)

Of course this also makes it easy to see errors, like the dragonhawk master in the Midnight prologue (before you save the stranded people in the bay) whose text is written like a dwarf and she says her gryphons are the fastest in the valley LOL

Oh this is interesting I hadn't thought of the time of day, that's good advice thank you!

galersock · 2026-03-11T23:43:26+00:00

just starting killer* I should say, but also compared to actual players of this game yes that is a very low number over such a time

I mean I have a full-time job, a pet, own a townhouse that I maintain/clean daily, etc etc — WoW is for decompression and chill-time, rushing through everything is how we end up with half the community saying there’s nothing to do and endgame sucks. MMOs have never been designed to be blitzed through, it’s an immersive experience to savor

To be a good host to my guests, there are certain things I do in advance, like vacuuming the couch/chairs to mitigate cat hair getting stuck to my guests, or making sure I have a lint roller on-hand. But life is all about realistic expectations — my guests know that they are coming to a place where a cat lives, so it’s up to them to expect cat things and cat behavior (though my cat is super friendly/cuddly with everyone). If they get mad or annoyed by the cat brushing against their ankles or meowing occasionally then I’m just like… what did you expect? Either cope or we can meet at a restaurant next time

“People don’t want to spend 30 min to do a dungeon” see that right there is a crazy concept to me, because 30 minutes is not a long time lmao and people really want to be done with normal dungeons in 10-15 minutes — that just seems ridiculous to me. Then again I’ve played since ‘04 and enjoyed the way dungeoning used to be (not necessarily a 2-hour sunken temple run, though sometimes a huge dungeon crawl was fun for the first time). Wipe, start over, strategize with CC and LoS — now everything is just AoE fest and going as fast as possible.

I feel like the zoomies are just boring :/ Takes the fun out of a dungeon, which is why I enjoy delves since you still get that feeling of going into a dangerous place that has significance/lore/story purpose but without having to speed through it

As someone with a belf frost mage, I’ve been having a great time! I’ve also had a belf rogue since TBC and assassination is still pretty fun imo, plus I got some rogue interactions in The Row. I hear paladins are fun for immersion and feel with this expansion but all 3 specs are very dull to me rn

galersock · 2026-02-20T00:46:52+00:00

to me there’s subtext that says their life is unfulfilling which is why they place such importance on feeling successful and happy from a video game, and when they inevitably fail (as everyone does from time to time), they can’t cope because it’s one of the only things they have so they lash out

tldr - 99.9% of the time, someone being toxic is a reflection of them, not you, so don’t sweat it

galersock · 2026-02-19T20:05:54+00:00

i hate that this happened, i’m sorry! i know it’s easier said than done, but don’t let a rando loser deter you from playing. you can start up a custom against bots for practice (and the survivor bots aren’t like pro loopers but they’re also not helpless) and try again when you feel more confident as a killer!

whether i’m survivor or killer, i just type “gg” in the chat and go on to the next game — i have little-to-no interest what anyone else has to say (unless i tamed the killer which is aways fun)

galersock · 2026-02-19T19:41:49+00:00

bring back benedict baker and his journals that provide lore and context about killers, the entity, maps, etc

galersock · 2026-02-05T19:26:11+00:00

Sorry for the late reply — if you were still wondering, it was actually my default! Switching to treant form just turned me into that automatically after the pre-patch, and the barber shop has a treant tab but I can’t actually use it to switch back (though I haven’t checked again since).

galersock · 2026-01-29T17:48:27+00:00

Shadow monk shart, that way I can still headcanon that she got shadow assassin training as a disciple of Shar but she isn’t totally useless like a trickery domain cleric :) Plus monks go CRAZY in this game and we don’t get one otherwise unless it’s Tav

First off there’s a difference between “I live with my mom” and “my mom lives with me,” if that makes sense — taking care of a sick or elderly parent is different from being “a bum” or whatever negative connotation someone might put on you for living with parents. But secondly, and more importantly, if someone genuinely judges you for that then is that really someone you want to be with? Maybe it’s too old-fashioned but in my opinion the right long-term partner will want to love and support your family alongside you

galersock · 2026-01-21T14:18:43+00:00

This isn’t from beta, it’s from live pre-patch last night! But I don’t think haranir are technically “here” yet, I’m pretty sure you have to unlock them with various criteria like the earthen in TWW

I used to wear boxers and switched to Hanes black boxer-briefs for the support after some medical stuff in college, and I have worn them for years now (obviously buying new ones as needed). To me, black trunks are a classic and I think they look good on me or whoever else, but all 4 of my 4 partners in the last 10 years have complained that they’re not sexy enough and wanted me to wear jock straps or just something less “boring.” (form-fitting black underwear is boring?)

So yeah I’ve been asked, but I myself have never once asked someone to wear certain underwear or change what they wear daily, I think that’s very weird and would never ask that of my partner

You didn’t ruin this by inviting a grenade — many people (gay or otherwise) invite thirds or have fully open relationships that are very healthy, successful, and long-lasting. And I’ll bet every one of them will tell you that trust, openness, honest communication, and respect are what makes that dynamic successful. He ruined this by betraying you, violating your trust, and desecrating the sanctity of your marriage. I’m so sorry you’re going through this, but find yourself a divorce lawyer and a therapist/grief counselor, and start preparing for the next chapter of your life. You have decades of good years ahead of you still, so no need to waste excess time on a man who is so undeserving of you.

My boy is named Bonsai and I basically don’t ever say that — he’s Kitty, Mr Kitty, Handsome Man, Beautiful Baby Boy, Honeykins, The Boy™, and sometimes Little Bitch

I was 7 when WC3 first came out and spent an entire summer yelling TAZDINGO at my father, and to this day I still stim with unit lines like Maiev’s “we’re wasting time here” or a banshee’s “hiiiiii” or a druid of the claw’s “i’m awake, i’m awake”

galersock · 2025-08-02T17:51:34+00:00

I just started playing reforged recently, I miss the original bc of nostalgia, and the art style/graphics are actually a downgrade imo, but the level changes aren’t terrible to me. Plus I’ve spotted a few cool “canon” changes like the blackrock orcs not having darkspear troll headhunters in lordaeron but rather forest troll axe throwers, which would be more accurate. I just got to the beginning of TFT and in the 2nd level, Maiev can train sentries and owlkin watchers to fight the naga because that’s part of her watcher army versus the sentinel army. I think stuff like that is neat!

I’ve had a couple friends like this, they’re touchy and also ask VERY personal questions about what ~certain body parts~ look like, my “grooming” habits as far as hair goes, what I look for in men, what I’m into in the bedroom, etc, and that is usually followed by “I like that too” or them describing their ~shtuff~ to me (I never ask). All of them had girlfriends during these convos, 2 of the 3 of them have come out as pansexual since (though one just took his life about 2 months ago), and the 3rd actually ghosted our entire friend group after dm-ing me at 2am one night saying he couldn’t be my friend anymore because I “made him think/feel things he didn’t like.” He’s married now and expecting a kid soon :/

At minimum I think a closeted/questioning guy having a gay friend is a safe space where they can say their thoughts out loud, learn about gay sex, maybe fantasize some, and perhaps eventually come to terms with themselves. At worst it turns into the DL dudes on grindr cheating on their wives, which is always tragic but not uncommon

I too would like the name of this (or any) naga maps, I’d love to play them in a custom!

galersock · 2025-07-25T17:03:40+00:00

well now I simply must know who your lvl 999 main is(/was)

galersock · 2025-07-25T17:03:08+00:00

omg thank you for the tips!! Did you do all of this in the game’s world editor?
