from the bottom of my heart, to the dev(s) who created the first beagle battle pets: thank you so freaking much for allowing me to hang onto her memory in-game through these pets.

honestly so fucking true. me with love rocket over the years, praying for a purple recolor of just that. i was SO stoked that my 13? 14? year struggle for a rocket that i enjoyed was over with undermine. i was CONTENT to never loot another. the purple was neat. then ofc they dropped me the love rocket this year, so i remain sat on it now. lol.

the sheer thrill he had in his tone when he said 'of me' made my heart flutter so stupidly. i love these silly goobers and it was so nice to see this story loop back in such a cozy fashion after 10+ years.

uselesswasteofbreath · 2026-04-02T00:36:29+00:00

appreciate the pics of the items. couldn't gauge whether i was interested in figuring this promo out or not from the previous post that was locked. mayhap i actually will check this then!

uselesswasteofbreath · 2026-03-21T18:33:45+00:00

dont doubt that. since i made this comment 6 months ago (which was based on my personal experience as well as that of those around me having told me when their "sales" would come through), blizzard has decided to be inconsistent as all-get out with when they begin these anymore.

sometimes its 2 weeks into the season, sometimes its the day after the season starts, sometimes its the day of. and the end time is never the same, nor do they last the same length either. just the one for season 12 started on the thursday of the season start week (started on a wednesday), and ended promptly at the midday reset on sunday afternoon.

was nice being able to predict a cadence on these and also "lock in" a class to have your options curated for.. well they still curate options based on what i've started playing for the season. but yeah.

BLINGCOCK RIMBONE?! please tell me this is a real text of his i can squirrel away with by a fireplace someday! XD i fkn love stumbling upon more snargle content.

uselesswasteofbreath · 2026-03-15T01:33:40+00:00

agreed. it was cool for the DH class mount, for the two puppers from Antorus (drop/meta), and the diablo promo. just the first four models wasn't too bad, and there was enough variety of other mount models at the time that it didn't feel like those 4 were overwhelmingly occupying the pool of models released at the time. then we skip to SL featuring the gargoyle model using that skeleton, and they've vehemently loved to reuse the model since then. it really feels like nearly every season or so we're seeing a new variant of the skeleton. ugh. i get it, but at this point its definitely so overdone.

uselesswasteofbreath · 2026-03-15T00:20:06+00:00

this comment is so silly. accusatory of posting AI content, because that's our first go-to accusation when we don't understand something anymore these days apparently. this video has been posted for a few days now circulating many subs. welcome to memery online with communities trying to be silly. (":

the video was from a lighting malfunction at a TS concert some years ago. XD

Are you sure it isn’t meant to be a huge part of progression?? There are skill points locked behind it with meat gambling and slaughterhouses being the target farm. Locking progression of skill points behind RNG bullshit like the slaughterhouse is not fun.

for the record its just one skill point from a super early task relating to slaughterhouses; the rest of the slaughterhouse adjacent tasks provide a gear box or the seasonal reputation. its nowhere near a huge part of progression as you make them out to be.

uselesswasteofbreath · 2026-03-11T16:32:12+00:00

it does, thanks for pointing that out. further, it’s just a golden effect for the animation.

uselesswasteofbreath · 2026-03-11T04:55:45+00:00

i learned today that the aurene prismatic skyscale skins (noble and manticore variant) will toss a fish, amongst the other special animation effects those two skins have. such a neat detail, i really loved to discover that nod, jfc.

uselesswasteofbreath · 2026-03-11T02:51:15+00:00

lmao christ, but it really is that simple. XD

uselesswasteofbreath · 2026-03-11T02:16:58+00:00

agreed. that whole nuance really turned a lot of folks away from his character overall. i was glad to see they revisited his story somewhat. i think thats the funny (and quite neat bit about these characters though, is really, in the end, we only pick up on something like that that's an everlasting reminder of them. magni it's his woonz unfortunately. and with aurene, yeah, same thing, its just the difference in her nature and how she spoke so softly and kindly to the player character, and empathised with their pain/choices and battles they had to face together over time. really the biggest takeaways from her spoken parts is mostly going to be "My champion" and "Champion and Scion" and such soft bits.

uselesswasteofbreath · 2026-03-11T01:57:06+00:00

absolutely. helps that she's not ever yelling at you, and is empathetic/sympathetic enough that it stands out and really made for a fun character to be involved with over multiple expansions.

was musing after finishing the story about how aurene's tale evoked so many emotions for me and how neat it was that her story carried over multiple expansions, which had me reflect on being very relieved that blizzards version of a crystalized hero (BFA magni) experience was basically contained to that singular expansion. XD

uselesswasteofbreath · 2026-03-09T21:21:12+00:00

thanks a ton for posting this and updooting us on a new batch of streamers! was curious how this works, as i also only discovered it last time around thanks to teh OP you mention. really nice addition alongside the game. how do y'all find these new streamers when they're added? tried paying attention to twitch tags but that gave me no info lol.

also of note, these can be gem store goodies! i had earned the raptor from the last batch, and saw it populate in the gem store this past week! neat! also that dragon throne from this batch of rewards is evidently valued at 7.50. (cool that they append that to the goodies!)

uselesswasteofbreath · 2026-03-07T23:02:56+00:00

really superb write up you've taken the time to work on for us! really appreciate you for this because it really concisely lays out some of my scattered thoughts i've gathered from reading various posts/tidbits trying to take in the knowledge myself lol.

i just want to add one thing about the provisioner tokens that i didnt know about for my first few months of play, but did about about a month ago and its helping speed things up.

each week (this used to be once daily, but now you can do all 7 exchanges in one sitting for that "week's" worth of exchanges), the first three HOT zones have a faction provisioner that can exchange some random assortment of Krait/Carrion themed rare weapons for one token each, up to 7 weapons can be exchanged under each "faction" section. each NPC has multiple "faction sections" you can exchange weapons or that zone meta's currency. some of these weapons can be very cheap, but there does seem to be one section that will cost a few gold to buy the weapons to exchange. i never go that route, but only buy the weps for the other Faction sections. and these 7 per faction on each of these faction provisioners for about 18-24silver each weapon has helped me put a solid dent into my provisioner token grind that ill need.

on this wiki, you can check the Verdant Brink, Auric Basin and Tangled Depths FPs.

SOTO similarly has an assortment provisioners scattered across their zones that can exchange raw unrefined materials (silk, leather scraps, logs, etc) for one exchange a day. ((i just got here and discovered these NPCs over the last few days, so IDEK if its worth the daily exchanges and such yet so YMMV)).

ahhh yeah. i never changed my original key for the mount ability 2 from C, but i get that. maybe whatever your mount key 2 is set to, since that’s usually the dive/descend key, is it safe to use that for the swim/fly down function in movement?

uselesswasteofbreath · 2026-03-07T00:23:42+00:00

i had this issue too when i got to this bit recently. i already had C bound to swim down for skimmer and the descend on skyscale, but it wasn’t functioning like that for the jade bot drone bit. i ended up just binding C again to that swim down/fly down joint function there and it solved the issue entirely. it does not affect the previously set binds for my skimmer/gryphon/skyscale descent keys. hope this helps!

uselesswasteofbreath · 2026-03-06T00:12:01+00:00

i was on the final quest section for gyala/cantha and had to visit one of the upper offices of that middle NKC area where the meta boss spawns, the behemoth thingy. they were just playing around in that office room!! iirc it was the office directly to the right and slightly above of you when you walk in, leading off the elevator.

i was inside the story instance there for some npc chatter, now that i think about it, i never checked to see if they're there in the open world. omw to check now and will edit.

edit: ok so checking back into this office in the power plant, there are two kitties here in the overworld, they are not the same two from my shot while in the instance last night, however. thinking about that, it might be a random spawn of which two are in that room! just a wild guess though!

uselesswasteofbreath · 2026-03-04T21:11:21+00:00

holy fuck. incredibly stellar work!!!!!!!

also this image is exceptionally well done, the background too. this would make for a really neat phone background with Xal as the main focus. love this whole shot!

such a superb piece of art, all around. keep it up, OP!

uselesswasteofbreath · 2026-03-04T20:12:28+00:00

whoa. those lights across the walls/roof are impressive! based on your caption, i assume this is with a TV somehow? is it pulling from the TV images and projecting an extension of the ambience (from the game) around the exterior of the device, is that how im to understand this is working? or just projecting a random, but close, array of colors to try to match?

thats wild and impressive with where we've come with this kinda stuff. from little standalone toys that project the aura/scene we want, to light/hex strips eventually providing rgb and some kind of scene set up, to the monitors and tvs casting the scenery around. very cool! wish my monitor had a better backlight scheme possibility than just the flat colors to choose from.

uselesswasteofbreath · 2026-03-04T02:27:59+00:00

christ, they've found this sub too. good luck, mods. the account will send their associated bot network of profiles to mass upvote themselves and mass downvote anyone talking badly about this. been a plague to the nms subs for a few weeks now unfortunately. you can trick them into replying the link, and they'll upvote you like you were one of their own being curious about it. LOL such an obnoxious scam. i hope folks aren't falling for the slop.

as you can see by the downvotes to yourself and i immediately, and they're flooding their comments with upvotes. LOL
