A downright bizarre article about a groping incident in Metaverse and it treats online harassment as a novel concept. How are these people not familiar with the fact that people can be terrible to eachother online?
The more things change

the more they stay the same.
I think itâs worth seeing once, but donât expect anything mind-blowing.
Weâve figured out how to make a character dab in FF the time is now

Itâs time for Dabbingway to take the stage.
Somebody was doing it in my normal raid, didnât see it, just saw somebody say; ânice dabâ
Finished Heavensward 3.4.
âŚThis is heavy, Doc.
And I admit a bit too confusingly abstract and cosmic to my tastes. By the end I struggled to understand what the heck was going on.
3.3, though? It felt very rewarding and I absolutely loved it, to the point Iâm half-regretting not making my elezen RP character Ishgardian IC. WoW could use more content like this â not forgetting about an expansionâs story threads as soon as itâs finished, but building up on that and showing, not just telling, how your actions affected and keep affecting it.
The universe appears to be conspiring to agree with my decision to hold off on buying EW until things calm down with how itâs being taken off sale until the servers stop exploding
Have been playing some Starcraft to pass the time, and despite only being 8 years old Kerriganâs design has Not Aged Well, pre or post transformation. Oof. Itâs like a textbook case of male gaze
Itâs getting better. I was able to log in at 15:00 server time (UTC) with only a 370-something login queue, and I went through it pretty fast. A week ago, that would have been around 3000 and Iâd have disconnected midway through.
And the game is rock solid once you do log in, even in the absence of sharding. No lag, no random disconnections, no âtransfer aborted: instance not foundâ. That has been my experience so far, at least.
Didnât even have a queue today
Iâve had 3k queues, but been hopping alts at peek times so.
Wouldâve been over 6k last week.
The queue I just joined was 741.
What parts did you not understand?
You donât really need to get it right now, but keep that incident in mind. It stays relevant. You know, because this isnât Blizzard.
Omg! Canât believe youâd say that on their forum! Ew. Ewwww!

âno particular reasonâ
Remind me, what is the 3.4 incident again?
I havenât actually gotten to watch the HW cutscenes I skipped yet like a dingus
Oh yeah that part I do actually remember!
Deffo echoing you @ Lintian to keep that in mind for later
Ala Mhiganing complete.
O come ye wayward brothers,
Bereft of hearth and home,
Beneath yon burning star there lies
A haven for the bold.
