Seeing a lot of people crash out about Horde having access to Dalaran. I'm glad it's being addressed (this is what beta is for).
Refs clearly are mad that McVay let everyone know that they get big calls wrong, so today they're calling every ticky-tack penalty against the Rams.
I've felt it necessary to download addons to play WoW Classic. There might be some improvements that addons can bring to Forever, but I can't see much. Swing timer, damage meter, modern auction house, single bag view, etc. included in the base game.
I'm going to be playing the WoW Forever Beta similar to how I play retail beta. I will use it to setup my UI, figure out what class I want to play, and provide feedback to the devs. I will avoid spoiling it for myself as much as possible.
A little pissed about Paladin being showcased at Blizzcon, because my original class was a pally and now there will be a crazy amount of them.
I know Blizzard is updating traditionally underperforming specs for WoW4ever, but I’m concerned that it will leave the well-treaded classes like Warrior and Mage feeling neglected and less interesting.
If you’re anti-AI, you are:
1. A dinosaur that can’t adapt to new technologies.
2. You’re listening to CCP-funded propaganda, who have everything to gain from slowing the expansion of AI in the West.
I'm loving Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, which is no surprise, since the original is one of my top 10 favorite games of all time. The only other open world exploration/adventure game I can think of in the same conversation is Witcher 3.
It's one of the only games that I feel compelled to complete 100% of the content, because I enjoy 99% of the content. I could spend hours sailing the sea, taking prizes, because the ship combat loop is that compelling.
Hearing how little the Rams spoke to Ty Simpson in the pre-draft process and how unenthusiastic McVay was in the post-draft presser, I am feeling even worse about this pick.
The desire to visit Japan is growing. I love how wholesome Twitter has gotten since we've been seeing our Japanese brethren.
Chuck Norris didn't die. He told death he wanted a lift to the next life because he'd beaten this one.

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z:
You buy a Pokémon card for $50.
Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it.
The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes."
You: "…I didn't sell it."
Government: "Don't care. Pay up."
You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received.
Next month? That card drops back to $50.
Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs.
That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax...
Now picture this.
Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off.
But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have.
So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday.
Gone.
To pay a tax on money that was never real.
Now picture the opposite.
Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it.
Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000.
He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore.
Does the government give him his money back?
No.
Does the government give him his truck back?
No.
Does the government care?
No.
They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine.
You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive.
You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things.
It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday.
They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created.
There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate.
I hope you understand what's at stake.
