@VCrosoft I think it may be time to evolve the game and set up factions that wage war. It would require a massive rehaul: Azerothians Void Supporters Etc Maybe with factions within each, eg. Argent Dawn, Cenarion Circle, Twilight Cultists, Feet Fetishers, etc.

This, 100%. The new writers at Blizzard are trying to make of Warcraft a generic MMO where everyone is friendly and fight together against the evil forces that want to blow up our planet. Bitch, if I want that I would go to FFXIV.

For my former Virginia neighbors: SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS

@leeburridge @Grummz Yeah, Im going to make a shadowbox display one day.

@mindflayer @Grummz Are you keeping it in a drawer for a reason? Time to declutter. But the bullet and throw it away. Its just taking up space and will never be worth more than it does right now. :)

Believe it or not, they just dropped a new Sound Blaster card.

@AIandDesign @Grummz I ended up going with a Soundblaster AE-7 as I could not isolate the static I kept getting on my USB-DAC on my gaming rig. I think it was the 4080 Super and I’m not about to pull that out.

@Grummz I cannot imagine this being competitive against a good external DAC.

@CamEdwards @GMcGuireVA Fairfax reps gonna NoVA.

This might be the worst pro-gun control argument I’ve ever heard. You dont need a gun because 20 cadets killed a terrorist without one? You don’t need a gun because you can just be shot and sacrifice yourself instead?? What the hell is wrong with you @GMcGuireVA?

@Guntalk 14 rounds of 9mm.

Undefined self defense situation. Would you rather carry 10 rounds of 10mm or 15 rounds of 9mm? With 2 backup mags.

I worked with Arab Israelis in the past and still talk to them. Their perspective ran counter to everything you read and hear in Western media. The only issue I have with them is that they constantly miss interrupts in M+ dungeons.

@exQUIZitely 📷 Oh man! I owned in the 90s and Adlib, Adlib Gold, SoundBlaster, SoundBlaster Pro, AWE32, and had a daughterboard capable of MT-32 playback. Man, this screenshot brought back some memories.

If you recognize these 4 screens, we can be friends.

@HLC_actual I love the bow dip and the height of the water compared as “filmed” from a freaking US aircraft carrier. People have no idea how large they are - you gotta prompt the AI generation correctly!

Oh new Iranian propaganda just dropped. Almost positive this is AI. The splash at the end makes it look like the water line is right below the flight deck… it’s not it’s like 100 feet down.

@exQUIZitely And that Weeeeeeee! Between Transport Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon I don’t know how many hours I spent building. Another unsung early game developer was Trevor Chan.

Among the people who don't get enough recognition for their contributions to gaming history, I often think Chris Sawyer falls into that group. There was a time when I couldn't wait to get home, disappear into my room, and build the most awesome roller coaster park. What Sawyer created with RollerCoaster Tycoon will forever be part of iconic gaming history. He developed the game more or less by himself (insane skill!), a pretty rare feat in 1999 when big studios and large teams were the norm. Sawyer coded the original in assembly language, creating realistic coaster physics, guests with individual needs, and - of course - chaos like vomiting or ride breakdowns. The sweet "ka-ching" of fees lives rent-free in my head. What an absolutely brilliant sandbox-like game, with practically endless replay value, similar to games like Sim City or Civilization.

@Portergauge Try Silvermoon.

I've never been someone who uses Inky Black Potions often, since I always prefer the lighting of a given zone as intended. ...but I think Harandar might be my big exception. Between the lighting of the Cradle and the bioluminescent plants, it feels like it's SUPPOSED to be dark.

"I have no survival skills and zero situational awareness so would be unable to protect my own life, let alone my loved ones, and I am smugly proud of this inadequacy" is an odd take, but Imma let you cook.

If this report is true, it’s one of the most disturbing things we’ve learned about how Britain is being governed. A US military operation is planned. Britain — its closest ally for 80 years — is excluded. And inside the Cabinet, ministers reportedly argue that being seen as too close to America might harm Labour electorally. Just pause on that. Foreign policy… National security… The special relationship… Reduced to electoral calculations about voter blocs. That is not what British democracy was designed for. Governments are supposed to act in the national interest, not the party interest. If ministers are making security decisions based on how it plays in the polls, something has gone very badly wrong.

@_Bjak @Warcraft Ignore the whining about MTX. You can opt not to buy. The squirrel mounts look very good. You knocked it out of the park. I’m waiting for my son to ask for one….

The new Groveglider mounts are out in @Warcraft! I was point animator on them- making a good chunk of the animations such as Summon, Run, Steady & Skyriding flying, and more! Heres a quick capture zipping around Eversong, Hope yall enjoyed how fun this mount turned out 💙

@Tzao96 Am I the only person alive that plays WoW that has never seen Avatar? I like the Harandir. Would also love Amani.

The more quests I do in Zul'Aman the more confused I am as to why Blizzard chose the Temu Na'vi as the new Allied race instead of the Amani, who are far more well known and a classic race from WoW's history. Right now I can only think of two reasons and both are really bad.

@Osint613 There's a certain irony to the aircraft that Carter cancelled being used to deal with the problem he helped create and helped defeat his presidential run.

BREAKING 🔴🔴 Three U.S. B-1B Lancer strategic bombers launched from Ellsworth Air Force Base executed overnight strikes on Iranian targets after flying nonstop from the continental United States, according to flight tracking data. This operation is the second long-range bomber mission observers have tracked against Iran. - @DefenceGeek

@VisuelleGaming I had one of the first 300 Orchid Righteous 3D cards. Still have it down in the basement. The shirt, pencil, and other swag are long gone - one day I'll shadowbox that card! Playing quakeGL was the rise of 90s gaming.

This blew your mind first time you saw it running on a glide GPU. Unreal (1998) on Microsoft Windows. #unreal #retrogaming #gaming #pc #pcgaming

The longer you spend in tech, the stronger the urge to buy a farm and never touch a computer again in your life.

@PlanetOfMemes @grok I've taken that exit many times!

Hey @Grok, Is this a real road sign in the United States? 😳
