hey @ScarizardPlays, been seeing a lot of qs about what Wk 1 Catalyst means for the future of the guaranteed token for AotC / 2k IO + endboss omni-tokens (which don't show in the journal). Are you able to confirm/deny that those are present in 10.2? Or is it maybe undecided?

Looks like today's PTR build may have answered my question. What timing

so apparently @NordVPN does HTTPS MITM instead of behaving like a sane VPN, so thats fun (learned this because its breaking our users' connections to $worksite bc even after disabling + uninstalling the VPN its still trying to use the local generated cert, which doesn't match)

One of the worst feelings in WoW is when general consensus doesn’t care. Something is changed in a patch for the worse, and you can try to get your displeasure heard but it won’t because you’re playing a niche. So you just have to deal with a worse version of what you had.

Are you prepared? On this, the final day of 2022, it is at long last time for: emallson bakes, chapter 4. And for the first time, the outcome is actually recognizable as what I was going for (and, dare I say...good?)

That's actually the whole chapter pretty much. It worked. I'm happy. Enjoy the new year!

Had lots of help from @emallson and @MathiasSvstre to make Wipefest the best it's ever been for this new raid tier! Really happy with what we've built and I hope it helps lots of guilds analyze and progress more quickly.
Looking back through your logs to see where to improve for your next raid? Wipefest can help you with automated mechanical analysis for both your raid and individual players! Vault of the Incarnates is fully supported. articles.warcraftlogs.com/ne…

Read this headline by @nytimes. And look at this picture. Consider what message it sends. A serious businessman. Making strategic decisions in good faith. With energy & innovation. The article talks about him considering literal *wage theft*. And refusing to pay rent. And more.

No, it is not. When Ella Irwin, who now runs Trust & Safety, joined Twitter earlier this year, almost no one was working on child safety. She raised this with Ned & Parag, but they rejected her staffing request. I made it top priority immediately. @ellagirwin

Summing the reactions of ex-Twitter workers to "The Twitter Files Pt 2" Ex-employees seemingly saying three main things: 1) This has long been public; 2) The platform features called out are innocuous; 3) The new T&S head handed everything over, making this little more than PR

Yo @WarcraftDevs can we talk about the mechanic bloat on Kurog Grimtotem?!? - 4 different kinds of soaks (one of which requires alternating soak assignments) - 10 different kinds of adds - 10 different kinds of swirlies to dodge 1/n

This boss has more mechanics than Jailer! (Literally!) But it's of course going to be easier because a bunch of them either (a) don't matter, or (b) are copies of other abilities with slightly different timers and damage values. (and it won't be tuned like an end-boss) 4/n

Sifting through 50 mechanics to figure out which 5-10 matter is just a really unpleasant experience. The variable push timers (i.e. moving between Altars) + P3 mechanic vomit introducing new & spicy overlaps are pretty likely to make prog unpleasant as well. 5/5

Few examples of justice being meted out in the world can match the brothers finally receiving financial reward in what I hope is literally millions for their lifetime project of Dwarf Fortress.
This thread is 17 pages of people posting "yes" to the question of: "have all those ppl been playing free DF for 25 years and just waiting for an opportunity to pay $30?"

once again, a reminder pay very close attention to what people say when their entire career depends on them telling the truth under oath, versus what they say at a press conference outside afterwards
