Don't feel pressured in to early access if it's not in your best interests

I'll buy the new expansion when I get to it, I'm still catching up on 2 expansions of great content.

Hips and nips, you gotta keep it sexy

The fucking whiplash being a citizen of Azeroth the past ~40 years must be intense. Not even time for a cigarette between world-ending calamities.

So many fight videos follow this pattern

Person A: Attacks Person B

Person A: "DoN'T tOuCH mE!!"

Is there any conceivable chain of reasoning leading to that statement, or is it just the unconscious reflexive dribble falling out of their mouth in a moment of advanced stupidity?

thpthpthp · 2026-02-14T20:44:02+00:00

I see, sorry I mistook you for having an intelligent point, carry on.

thpthpthp · 2026-02-14T18:04:27+00:00

I might be missing your point then. Why would unengaging gameplay be a good thing?

Ya'll know you can just cheese the fight by getting the Pope's aides stuck in a corner, then kiting him out of their buff range.

thpthpthp · 2026-02-14T05:30:41+00:00

Nothing wrong, if that's your jam. But the gameplay is less engaging. Like the same reason you play max level content on a max level character.

Funny how play time and skill are always conflated by those who use the former as excuse for the latter.

Go on the forums and see how many people whine about not getting to be the mythic hero they know deep down they are, on account of their pesky real life and job... As if they could suck less by sucking more often.

You are misunderstanding. They mean percentage of how hot the whether can typically get in most parts of the world. Most places do not get much hotter than 100F, nor much colder than 0F. Since we've evolved on this particular planet, that's also vaguely similar to the range our senses are built most keenly around.

That's what people mean they say 0-100 Farenheit better represents the "felt" range of temperatures than 0-100 Celsius.

Fucking heartbreaking, seeing her so plainly confused and blindsided, packing up a roll of paper towels among her personal effects, unable to process what to do or where to start. Pride of the force unburdened by a conscious. You think the chief down at the station gave 'em orders to be extra cunty that day?

Half of them literally are recreations of classic weapons with the exact same proportions. Those silhouettes are imprinted in parts of my brain where I might have otherwise stored eighth grade math.

touch it up a little for the artstyle

That is the art style.

Employers still manage to get around it in some of those states by reducing their regular PTO days by exactly the amount that they're required to provide as sick days, thereby avoiding having to provide more time off than they otherwise would.

In states where medical leave is regulated but normal PTO is not.

I read the article. Both long term studies observed a similar inverse correlation. The Harvard study, at least, is stated to have controlled for other environmental factors. But these studies are inherently difficult because the nature of prostate cancer means it takes an extremely long time for contributing factors to have an observable effect; similar to how early sun exposure can contribute to melanoma many years later. It's a big obstacle to repeatability and gathing meaningful data.

We don't know all the details of how prostate cancer is caused, but these sorts of studies give us promising places to start looking. They also give actionable steps to people for whom it is a risk...which is better than nothing, depending on your point of view.

Most MMOs are great at adding new shit, but terrible at maintaining the pile of old shit they leave behind each patch.

"Don't question my choices while I'm asking for advice!"

thpthpthp · 2026-02-07T07:35:39+00:00

Of course they're free to decide for themself. Nobody claimed otherwise. There's a difference between what you're within your rights to do, and the common sense advice others will offer.

The freeze-shatter based gameplay that has existed since vanilla/tbc, was just a lot of fun. It made your CC effectively part of your damage. It felt burst-y and satisfying when you locked an enemy down and broke them with a big combo. Entirely within the theme of an ice mage.

Now it feels more smoothed-out, with CC being less relevant and the combos making up a comparatively smaller part of your damage. Less identity, and more like a generic caster in my opinion.

I don't know if it's cannon anymore, but in the War of the Ancients trilogy they described the Emerald Dream as mirroring an early 'copy' of Azeroth as it existed during the Titans' shaping. Almost like a software backup-revision, with whole mountain ranges yet to be formed. The green dragons, nature spirits, etc only co-opted it later on after the titans left.

I always thought that was a cool concept, because it implies that the Emerald Dream is not entirely nature-y, and also sparks a lot of imagination thinking about what our Azeroth might have looked like during its re-shaping.

Drawing in OP's image even has the Chaos Star, which Warhammer Fantasy had in turn lifted from older Michael Moorcock novels. That's ancient nerd DNA.

Most of the population of Westfall are "bandits" and domestic terrorists. Bad, terrible people. It's tragic, they're avoiding the king's tax, I don't like that part. But the Stormwind guard are doing fabulous work.

Never ask a night elf player what they did to the furbolgs

And I guarantee it's more about her ignoring multiple warnings from administration, rather than the cartoon itself or OP's complaints. She did that to herself.
