That is a very good doodle :smiley:

It’ll give some good options for fancy textures as well!

You can buy it for your DK on the BMAH. I mean, what else are you going to spend all that gold on when you’re undead? Just get some fashion!

To exchange the gold for mystical currency that you’d use to barter with cruel gods, that are above anything and everything, to extend your miserable existence in this world (in other words by wow tokens)

RL peeve here. For those of you not in the know: for the past few days a Belgian soldier has been on the run. Heavily armed and looking to kill politicians and virologists. The peeve is how he got to be heavily armed (if I am reading it correctly).

You see this guy was already on the government watchlist as a high risk extremist. Also he was reprimanded for publicly making racist remarks and threatening a virologist. So it should come as no surprise he was pulled from deployment, right?

What did they do with him? They assigned him to deployment logistics where it is his job to prepare the equipment for other soldiers, giving him full access to the armory. Which is how he was able to just shove anti-tank weaponry in his car and drive off with it

Military intelligence.

I’ve been following this and yeah it’s a massive failure of Intelligence, you can’t arrest people for their extremist ideas but it should be quite obvious that you don’t want any in your military (which is of specific interest for far-right groups especially), the fact that they just let him continue to be a serving member is ???

Considering he took a P90, a pistol, and rocket launcher(s!!?!?!) with him that’s definitely heavily armed, although I think the latter were found in his car by that forest that they found his tent in earlier

Armies and police both have a big white supremacy problem because it turns out that a job where you are given lethal weaponry and have the authority to assault or gun down minorities is a fash magnet who could’ve guessed

It’s even more fun when you look at studies about the mental stability of quite a few who became cops who to absolutely nobodys surprise had a clear higher risk having antisocial traits or as the rest of us would call it straight up being psychopaths.

It’s almost like people who are already unstable and just want the means to be awful to others but in a more legal way :hmm:

A term only ever used unsarcastically by civilians, politicians and Officers.

Trust me on this


Edit: Oh, and ‘Morale’ is that thing that is always mentioned, and yet is apparently grown in the same barren field as F- s to give


Oh neat! Hadn’t see stuff from you in a while!
(Not a reproach, just a “you’re back! It’s cool”)

I’m big peeved that Warlocks are most fun as NF but the best Tmogs for them are Maldraxxus or Venthyr which have the worst abilities (Maybe not destro Maldraxxus) to play in your rotation :angry:.

Tracer loving Emily invalidates their favourite rule 34’s.

I found some old screenshots from when I leveled my Vulpera and now I kind of level a second one for some reason. I don’t even understand why.

:wave: I’m mostly just hanging out to see how everyone else is doing

You are terribly mistaken. That crowd doesn’t care
 It empowers them.

You cannot change what already was.

Got to agree with Raynardo, those people will continue to rule 34 their favourite pairing regardless of what’s canon.

Its strange that the people who did go after Tracer didn’t have an equal uproar to Soldier, because they’re the sort of hypocritical idiots to be like; “woman on woman = hot therefore okay” whereas man on man = “oh no, why’s there sexual content in my game? Think of the children”

At that time OW was mostly relevant to the gaming scene, so the Tracer gay reveal reached a larger audience and more channels than it should have to the point of even disrupting plays.

Soldiers being gay at that time, for a game that was and still is descending into irrelevancy, his reveal felt more like the cynical corporate attempt to retain some relevancy and doing publicity stunt so the Gamers didn’t exactly care. That’s not to say there wasn’t some “offended” souls but in general everyone could tell “Oh
 This is just for the sake of having a reason to be relevant.”

It honestly really didn’t.

In the context of the Soldier reveal, they laid the foundation for it back in the same Christmas comic where Tracer’s sexuality was confirmed, with Soldier gazing at a picture of him and another man in their youth while holed up in a safe house over Christmas with Ana in a comic where the Overwatch heroes reminisce their loved ones.

Jump to the next comic, it picks up from that moment in Ana’s and Soldier’s storyline, and they’re talking about the lives they left behind to pursue their work as ghosts and Ana asks Jack what happened to Vincent. Jack replies that it didn’t work out; his duties didn’t leave much room for others in his life. Ana lamented feeling the same way about her strained relationship with her daughter as the two are now believed to be dead by their loved ones and how their devotion to their duties has cost them personally.

At no point was it ever marketed as “You wouldn’t BELIEVE this reveal about Soldier!”. On Blizzard’s part there was no word surrounding it; it was just a fact that’s mentioned in a passing between two old soldiers sacrificing their personal lives for their duty. It’s everyone else making a huge fuss about it between the phobes thinking it’s tOo PoLiTiCaL and the cynical centrists thinking it’s a marketing plot to revive the franchise.
