@exQUIZitely You describe 1:1 my experience with Lineage II. It was the largest WoW rival at the time and the original devs in NCSoft that did the first 6 version of the game were just great, until they were replaced with some new guys and completely ruined the game.

The last "modern" game I ever played was World of Warcraft, from 2004 to 2010, the end of Wrath of the Lich King. I know there were MMORPGs before (and after), but when the original World of Warcraft launched in 2004, it felt closer to "perfection" than any game before or since. Nothing has changed that feeling to this day. What changed was the game itself after the death of Arthas in Wrath of the Lich King. The original WoW felt so vast, so open, and so alive - it’s hard to put into words. There was no min-maxing yet, no speedruns, no parsing records, no gear score requirements. If you were really "pro," you connected with friends or guildies via Ventrilo. There was no WeakAuras, no threat meters, no Questie guiding you. You quickly learned that even the most expensive vendor gear was trash compared to quest rewards. You had to walk from Elwynn Forest to the Redridge Mountains - and if you dared peek across the river into Duskwood, the spiders there would one-shot you (I’m sure we all did that). The first time you equipped a green item! The first time you swapped it for a blue! And the envy of seeing someone with purple gear, omg! Saving up for a mount and the catharsis when you could finally afford one! The first time you entered the Deadmines, the foolish solo attempt on Hogger only to realize instantly it was a death sentence, stepping into Alterac Valley battlegrounds and being in awe of its size, wiping on Ragnaros again and again before finally killing him, and the sheer joy of celebrating together with your guild. The excitement and awe of entering Naxxramas for the first time, struggling to down Patchwerk, the teamwork, the slow progress, seeing Sapphiron dead on the frozen ground and being moments away from Kel’Thuzad… so close! It truly felt like a massive world - not just in size, but in stories. The announcement of The Burning Crusade and the Dark Portal appearing in the Blasted Lands; you couldn’t wait to walk through it. Then the ultimate climax when Wrath of the Lich King launched, eventually facing the most badass character in gaming history: Arthas. World of Warcraft was magic. Until it wasn’t. Just like Blizzard was once the greatest game studio of all - until they weren’t. Warcraft used to be tough, glorious and epic... now it's pink Disney fluff. Nothing has recaptured that feeling from 2004 to 2010. I wonder if anything ever will again. I sometimes watch the trailer of the original WoW. It still hits close to the (gamer) heart…

@kanavtwt @linusgsebastian This reminds me of imgur.com/gallery/oh-dif…

He is the creator of linux, the open source operating system which powers 96% of all servers on the planet. To facilitate the development of linux, he created a side project called git. Today, git is the most used version control software in the world. What an absolute legend🫡

@enunomaduro I'm using Nuphy Air75 V2 with Wisteria switches nuphy.com/products/air75… and I'm super happy! It is my first mechanical keyboard and I have no comparison but I love it.

i’m new to mechanical keyboards and would really appreciate some advice. i’m looking for something that’s great for coding and has a soft, pleasant sound that’s nice to hear while typing. i’ve been looking at the sonnet mechanical keyboard — what do you think?

@taylorotwell Looks like I fit the description almost perfectly but I'm currently unavailable. One day my resume is coming your way!

We're looking for someone in Europe who can help us build an amazing customer success experience across all of our products. ❤️ We'd love to hear from you!

🥳 Looking at the votes, it seems like we’ll have a Pipe operator in PHP 8.5 wiki.php.net/rfc/pipe-opera… #php

Recently I was targeted by an extremely sophisticated phishing attack, and I want to highlight it here. It exploits a vulnerability in Google's infrastructure, and given their refusal to fix it, we're likely to see it a lot more. Here's the email I got:

Testing Laravel subdomain routing is a bit tricky. You can't really hard-code the root domain since you obviously won't have access to that domain locally Instead, consider adding a "subdomain" macro on the Route facade to set the root domain for you using your app's config URL

@theo I'm self hosting @passbolt and I'm super happy. My server died once and I was away from the country which was a pain but other that it works great!

Never seen 1password down before (I am in great pain)

Is it only me or @luke_lafr is "secretly" starring as Knox in Silo? 🤣 @LinusTech

This might actually be my favourite feature of PHP 8.4, such a small thing, but it'll be so great 😅

Here's a tip for getting relationships right in Laravel: Write a test case for each of them. Here's a classic example for blog posts: it('has comments', function () { $post = Post::factory()->hasComments(3)->create(); expect($post->comments->ensure(Comment::class)) ->not->toThrow(UnexpectedValueException::class); }); And so on! This will also help you write your factories (which is fast now with AI). Then your seeders. And other tests. Also, coworkers will thank you. The return on investment is really good.

My new desk @secretlabchairs #magnuspro #nuphy #laracon2024 ♥️ Gotta change that trackpad with a black one.

To customize @filamentphp, you may add Render Hooks in various places. Official docs list 56 hooks but don't show how they would LOOK. So, in newest Laravel Daily course, we show 6 most typical examples. Read this FREE lesson: laraveldaily.com/lesson/filamen…

@adamwathan I think @html is a good one as after all you put CSS classes on HTML elements even if they are inside JS

Adding support for registering template paths to scan for utility classes directly in CSS for v4… This is the old `content` configuration option from v3. I've always regretted the word "content" for this but don't have an obvious better idea — any great words come to mind?
