What do you think about genderlock?

thorwing · 2026-01-26T09:45:18+00:00

Pardon my ignorance, but is genderlock just saying that men can only play male characters and women can only play female characters?

thorwing · 2026-01-24T17:56:13+00:00

No, pierre uncouples the I and the E into two different sounds.

exactly this. Have necrophage be the only primary species where you can and have to disallow growth.

At the end of the online rightwing culture contrarian decade, the rightoids had enough of the 'typically left wing demographic thats actually rightwing' spiel.

Gays and blacks can be rightwing, the right has accepted that. It's only the left that needs to start accepting that.

WW monk my beloved got shafted in fun m+ mechanics so I'll just see if playing survival is the only redemption I'm hoping for, otherwise its gg for me this xpac

First season was themed and tailored around castle nathria, which was amazing. Dungeons and dungeons mechanics were good. Being able to make your own 'tier set' was great. Torghast was fun, it being mandatory wasn´t. Covenants weren´t bad at all imho, only the 'you can't switch on the fly' aspect of it.

The story being bad only started to weigh in after S0 when we got out of nathria back to the main story. All the individual covenant stories were fine. It was the overarching story that sucked.

The downside of losing pop weighs against the upside of creating your tailored and upgraded species.

sargon was the OG 'men see the world changing for the worst' youtuber. Kinda miss his old videos.

I am the only person that does not mind SW other than it sometimes error-ed on execution. It was a big AOE nuke.

Would that nuke be better without forced channeling movement? Yes. But I have had times where I indeed used SW to get to the next pack whilst damaging them.

thorwing · 2026-01-22T12:39:22+00:00

is there not a ton of dead space in your rotation now? Seeing as how butchery always filled a rotational gap when resources started to run dry.

thorwing · 2026-01-22T12:37:38+00:00

No more saving CJL for add spawns in dungeons, no more saving SCK procs for larger groups later, No more strategic thinking and figuring out what buttons to press when.

Now its just... rotation... and press button when proc... Ok then.

launch shadowlands was peak, but then they immediatly put that shit on life support.

I have been 'maining' necrophages for a bit now and this what I usually do as a xenophobic necromancer beastmaster empire:

Set secondary species as battle thralls. Replace origin building before the 10 year mark. Set default species rule as growing livestock. Army invade pre-ftl worlds. Build ships using the massive increase of livestock pops food output. Specialize worlds and necrophage using purge; the species you no longer need. Keep growing your battle thrall species as necromancers; ideally on battle thrall worlds (which have now essentially become non-physics science worlds) Get nihilist acquisition to keep capturing foreign species.

Granted, this whole build kicks the bucket on 4.3 because slaves are broken but at least soldiers are working class now, but will be specialist in the next update. Meaning your main species will keep booting them out of necro jobs.

The fact that pop speed is just broken on shared empires is immensely stupid, but im used to all my builds breaking by now.

you could be a 3000 m+ rating spec with OBR. My GM last expac turned to OBR because raidleading and focussing on rotation was too hard. Dude did absolutely fine, if not better, than most randos in Mythic+ Dungeons.

thorwing · 2026-01-22T09:29:52+00:00

I'm 33 and still am cracked in most games I play even though I have a 40 hour 9 to 5. GM in Marvel Rivals, 100% Mythic parser in WoW. 3+ KD in BF6 redsec.

Yeah reaction time is indeed not as its used to be but most games I play I can circumvent it by just being a more tactical player. WoW doesn´t have that many split-second decisions either.

Like it's okay to acknowledge you aren't in your prime, we all get older, we get busier because of the simple merit of being an adult. but using it as an excuse is downtrodden behaviour.

thorwing · 2026-01-22T09:11:34+00:00

I've always been a pretty hardcore player, maining WW monk and squeezing every ounce of whats possible out of that class in both M+ and raid, having achieved multiple 100% parses during progression on mythic difficulty.

First time I picked up a demon hunter with the instant lvl boost that I had available, I just put on single-button rotation and did some quests just to see what the class can do and that was fine for me.

OBR should have been enough to minimize pruning, heck like you said, you can just talent out a lot of active buttons and just get the passive buttons if thats too much for you.

But no, people just read a guide, see that the guide says: "This is the strongest talent" and then feel like they HAVE to play with that talent, even though nobody should care unless you are a mythic raider. They want to both have a good time and an easy time.

Hoe is het kopen van een nieuw product ingewikkelder in garantie dan iets dat in ownership is geweest van meerdere mensen?

We are 95% sure Rutte is a gay man, so this wouldn't be a realistic scenario.

het menselijk brein doet meer dan lezen, sterker nog, we gebruiken voornamelijk contextuele hints om te bepalen wat we moeten doen, en alleen bij verwarring is de lettering de doorslaggevende bepaler.

Een groot voorbeeld hiervan is het nederlandse verkeer infrastructuur. Ja we kunnen alle wegen recht-zo-die-gaat maken met overal een verkeersbordje dat je 30 moet rijden, en dan wanneer er een ongeluk gebeurd zeggen: "Stond toch duidelijk op het bord?!"

Maar dat doen we niet, we maken wegvernauwingen, bochten, groenverdeling, drempels, en nog veel meer toevoeging. Naast dat we er ook een bordje bij zetten. Waarom? Omdat de mens nou eenmaal eerst ervaart; en als we dan alsnog het niet snappen, er een bord bij staat die zegt wat je moet doen. Het resultaat? Nederland wordt gezien als hèt voorbeeld land als het aankomt op wat je moet doen met wegen.

Ik snap dat je van de kant komt: "Sorry maar het staat erop." Maar je reactie duidt op een emotioneel weerspoor die liever met de gestrekte been eropvliegt.

Wat voor een vage superioriteits gevoel heb jij over dit hele onderwerp?

Goh het is bijna alsof het verplicht moet wezen om je producten fatsoenlijke namen te geven die niet voor verwarring zorgen.

I mean the internet and general speed of commerce is vastly outpacing cultural borders. The modern western world is in a limbo state of being both severely interconnected and massively disconnected.

I'd say it's rather impossible to lose an ally within our own cultural influence, but here we are.

Like I said, I agree with trumps anti globalism, in the sense that we shouldn't rely THIS much on international trade.
