    No Nvidia in the top 5? Or did you sell before it tanked?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    A lot of things are believable when they're telling you what you've already been primed to hear. That they're believable doesn't make them true.

    PS: There's a surprising yet brief bit of high quality writing+VA in the campaign quest this week. The fact that it wasn't it's own cinematic is disappointing.

    Took a break from 7-xing D&D sealed to 7-x a ZNR quickdraft. TO... THE... FACE.

    Modern software sucks, and computing is garbage while hardware is blazing new frontiers.

    There's a lot of complete unoptimized shit, not just on the consumer or pro-sumer level, but even enterprise SAAS or infrastructure products. Like holy shit, the Avaya trash that I work on for a living. This is software that ran just fine on integrated circuits in a Lucent phone switch nearly...

    Sealed in this set is fun. It's good old fashioned grinding marginal value.

    I'd never play FFXIV, the PvP sucks. If I was to play another MMO it would be back go GW2. I don't think I'll stay subbed to WoW longer than a month. I've got too much other stuff to do and too much backlog to play.

    I did 2 mythic dungeons today. I don't know why I did them. WoW is a fun-sucking weird black hole where a lot of effort goes in and no fun comes out the other side.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    There was actually a bunch of fun World PvP content in BFA. Battle for Nazjatar was one example, but it always lagged out due to the zone lag issues that BFA had. The Alliance/Horde zone assaults in war mode were pretty cool, the weekly quests to kill X members of the enemy faction in relevant...

    I had heard literally nothing about WoW being a raid-based endgame until I got drafted into a Onyxia beta test. I came to WoW from DAoC, I had paid someone 50 plat from Percival + 5 plat from Mordred (a fairly ridiculous sum of ingame currency at the time) for a beta key, having gotten *super...

    It's investing-relevant because these very same topics are discussed on investing podcasts. It's very hard to talk about the current investment market without talking about anti-trust and inflation at the very least.

    I don't think this was true, since there were videos going pretty far back in development about faction capturable zones and objectives.

    They absolutely would, because if interest rates were 5% or more, getting a mortgage would be much harder and more expensive for your average home-buyer, making those houses even more worth the investment. Blackrock is always going to be able to get better loan terms than your average...

    Anti-trust is very hard, and extremely hard post-Bork. You have to prove that the consumer is being harmed, and ultimately once you do prove that, you have to seize entire companies to break them up. That requires an extreme exercise of government power. Meanwhile, governments have always had...

    In my ideal future, all the PvE players leave for FFXIV and Blizzard retools WoW into the PvP game it was originally supposed to be.

    This is the #1 problem with the modern conservative line of thought. Starving the democratic government ensures the path to corporate feudalism will continue. It's like you guys almost figured it out under Trump with the backlash to both corporate wokeness and corporate censorship, but can't...

    I do, actually. I'm not sure you understand the difference between capitalism and feudalism, or the purpose of democratic government from preventing the former from reverting to the latter. For instance, in this very thread, people are complaining about skyrocketing housing prices, and the...

    This shit is stupid; a 2% federal wealth tax on portfolios and real estate holdings above 10mil would be much better overall. Stop penalizing people for making money, start penalizing people for accumulating too much property.

    Shit that doesn't happen on Azeroth or Draenor just doesn't have a lot of significance if you ask me. The Jailer's schemes are just not interesting. This is again why WOTLK was the best expac, you had: Algalon is going to fucking delete Azeroth because of all the corruption we unleashed, AND...
