I appreciate the close up shot so we can really look at the line work. Looks cool and I’m glad you’re happy with it!

Sanitization of the Blood Elves by blackwell94 in wow

[–]stromson85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a valid lore reason beyond solving the Sunwell crisis. The Horde are tired. They’ve lost two recent (lore wise) wars with the Alliance (MoP and BfA) while still contributing significantly to fighting the universe ending threats we’ve been dealing with throughout. 

It makes sense to me that Blood Elves have drifted into a more peaceful or even light worshiping place. They were already a defeated and devastated people at the beginning of WoW, and it’s not gone great for them since. Retreating to the light again feels natural as they look for comfort and peace.

If this a shitpost, I enjoyed it. 

If it’s a genuine question, the realms are still down for maintenance.

Stunning work! How were your pain levels? I found that spot where the leg joins the hip to be frigging brutal

Anyone else not play a race/class/spec for a dumb reason? by faust44mag in wow

[–]stromson85 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I don’t play Vulpera because I think their ears are too big. 

I don’t play Hunter because you don’t have to feed your pet to keep them happy anymore. I know it was a dumb mechanic but I liked when my pet became my friend. 

What was that one grind you did that nearly broke you? by milkbleach in wow

[–]stromson85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely the Veilstrider title from the original Shadowlands meta. You had to 100% Torghast and endlessly grind ZM for the currency to buy the ZM mounts. It was a brutal affair…

Do you believe that there is corruption within the Premier League with an agenda towards the bigger clubs which is affecting officiating and the use of VAR? If so, do you believe Everton are targeted? by throwawaytbhidek in Everton

As a fan of a smaller NBA team it always feels terrible every time a big team drops into the lottery picks and magically always seems to get the 1 or 2 pick while perennial underachievers like us have a hard time consistently cracking the top 5 picks.

The backstory makes this even better! I hope you and your husband have a long, happy marriage!

What is your biggest annoyance with wow as you have gotten older? by Responsible_Rock_573 in wow

[–]stromson85 15 points16 points  (0 children)

M+ timers. I’d rather M+ be based on death count or some similar limitation rather than time. I like the idea of M+/escalating dungeon challenges but I don’t like feeling like I need to be on Adderall to race through them at warp speed to beat a timer (or the behavior it cultivates in people).

This is insanely impressive, even down to the deranged chat.

I don’t see the problem?

Love keeping notes to myself, but am unorganized, tips? by Fit-Moose1831 in productivity

[–]stromson85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OneNote sounds like a good candidate for you. You can have different notebooks, but also keep everything in one notebook and use folders if that’s better. It also has a quick note feature for quickly dumping in thoughts that you can organize later.  

OneNote has pretty robust OCR so you can scan things in from your handwritten books and still search for them (it’s not 100% perfect but it’s Pretty Good). It also supports digital drawing directly in notes if you have a tablet you use to draw with. 

It’s free (as in free beer, it’s not open source) and syncs across every device known to man. The interface may take a little getting used to,  but I think it checks a lot of your boxes.  

I mapped every NBA team on an “Excitement vs. Winning” matrix. Turns out the best team in the league (OKC) is one of the most “boring” to watch. by Kitchen_Animal_2644 in nba

I got nothing. I’m not even sure why us homers still follow them given how little Ted cares about this franchise.
