This has been a thing since TCG mounts and pets… back in TBC.

I won’t bother with any more of an argument since you’ll probably nuke this thread, too. I suggest you stop flapping your butt about WoW and go find a game you enjoy that respects your time and money.

I saw the update on Steam, but didn’t look very closely since it’s been some time since I’ve played RoR2. It’s good to see they’re committed to making the DLC good.

You and I must have played different versions of BC, because I remember people running around like they fell out of bags of Skittles with their armor, silly transformations (Noggenfogger, anyone?), and other goofy things. WoW has always had a healthy dose whimsy (both intentional and not) mixed in.

Pandas looking badass and Dracthyr not is purely subjective.

I think you have rose-tinted glasses on, friend.

Meal prep is the way.

I’m going to go with… Factorio :).

I didn’t visit Reddit for 8 months or so after the API fiasco, but gradually started going back for a handful of niche communities whose fediverse counterparts are dead or nonexistent.

A lot of it is d) spam

Many of your posts are fine, but a good amount leave me thinking one of the following:

-That’s a pretty specific question, is there really nowhere else that would be e better place to ask?

-Wtf are they talking about, is that an obscure reference or something?

-How high are they?

I can appreciate you generating topics for discussion, but seems you don’t have a filter and post anything that comes to mind.

I’d like to think I’m an engineer, but if we’re being honest, I’m much closer to chef.

Same happened with kbin.run. Glad I set up an account on another instance before that happened.

It’s doable in most (maybe all?) manual vehicles. If you get the RPMs to a certain point, you’re able to shift smoothly to the next gear without pushing the clutch in.

Learning the clutch friction point, especially for a new driver, can be a challenge. Even after being experienced with driving manual for years, two things I still hate about them are stop-and-go traffic and taking off on a hill when someone is right on your ass.

I learned to drive using a manual transmission vehicle. I spent a lot of time in empty parking lots, then in empty subdivision roads. It sucked, and having my dad as a teacher made things worse (he had a bit of a temper). As you stated, learning the clutch friction point for your vehicle is crucial (and it’s different in every model of car, so that’s fun), but once you get that down, the rest falls into place pretty easily.
I have had 4 vehicles since I got my license, and only the most recent one is automatic. I much prefer driving manual, but they’re getting increasingly difficult to find outside of sports cars.

It will be releasing on Steam and Xbox on the same day.

A lot of these Playstation trailers are borderline misleading. I don’t expect Sony to advertise for other platforms, but the way they present things make it look like a PS5 exclusive.

I’m guessing the 2nd “function” is the lanyard hole.

I was in the same boat as OP, so thanks for the clarification. Your post was enlightening.

My captor must have had experience working help desk. I’ve endured people eating chips and sandwiches, chewing gum, and sniffling with stopped up sinuses right in my ear, while trying to focus on fixing their computer.

You can be masculine and also play female characters in games.

Gambled and lost

My parents’ divorce. I was 20 when it started, but still living at home. I was dragged through the middle of the very messy and drawn-out divorce proceedings, and unfortunately, my dad did not survive to hear the final judgement. The silver lining I guess was these two events gave me a solid kick in the pants to start acting like an adult. I went to counseling, then college, then an actual professional career.

While I am now in the best position in my life that I’ve ever been in, the catalyst to me getting here was terrible. 0/10, would strongly advise alternate means.

Counterpoints:

1. Describing the graphics/art style as broken or ugly is highly subjective. A lot of WoW players like the art style as it is. I would’ve preferred the graphics got updated when I played, but it is what it is.

2. Updating assets and textures takes art resources, which means taking designers off of working on new projects. Blizzard’s allocation of resources is another discussion entirely, though.

3. A lot of WoW players play WoW and nothing else, and a lot of them play on hardware that’s barely able to run the game. Check the forums whenever the system requirements get updated with new expansions and see all the people complaining about not being able to afford new hardware. Now, Blizzard definitely shouldn’t support everyone’s dinosaur PCs forever, but they risk cutting off portions of their playerbase whenever they raise the system requirements, so I’m sure that’s taken into account.

4. WoW’s engine is built in-house and OLD, and started as a heavily modded Warcraft 3 engine. They most likely face significant challenges whenever they want to add or update anything, including graphics.

Note: Take my post with a grain of salt, as I stopped playing in 2018 and haven’t been playing the closest attention since.
