    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Who doesn't love to look at/talk about numbers and spreadsheets?!? TLDR: Time spent with at least 1 DPS spec in the top 50% of performers (classes with both ranged and melee specs are also separated): How long each spec spent in the xpac in the top 50% By Tier: SOURCE: Google spreadsheet

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I haven't been excited or "hyped" for an xpac since Legion, but I generally like the dudgeon, raid, and leveling content enough to get at least 40 hours out of it. With no word on the Microsoft buy out, it's not like the gold sitting in my account is doing anything else, so might as well use it...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Poke around the Discord for each class and see what they are saying but, usually, the "what's good" wont be decided until the first weeks of the raid. The first 2 weeks of dungeons will give a good feel though, and the last 3 xpacs haven't penalized a player too much for switching classes after...

    Wowhead says Nov 15 for DL invasion event. Although there is no guarantee they made it a huge XP event. The Legion event had silly amounts of XP, but I don't remember what BFA or SL were like. https://www.wowhead.com/guide/primal-storms-dragonflight-pre-patch-event

    I guess I should have specified that I was talking about leveling in DF, being that the new xpac is less than a month away, I would assume that that is part of the equation, eventually. Also, if someone is just looking to level fast, and doesn't care about content, there is a decent...

    They are rolling Shadowlands into Chromie time when they start the prepatch event and allow people to make Drakthurrr. Every xpac should be able to go to 60, through chromie time, at that point.

    Does the cross faction taps work in warmode? I wouldn't be surprised if they left it off to "encourage" pvp. Your warmode experience may depend heavily on what faction you play on what cluster. Most clusters are going to have Horde outnumber Alliance 10 to 1, so if you are leveling as horde, of...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Depends on what you want, if you want a pvp experience to break up leveling, then sure, but don't expect that many people to really engage. You don't miss any content by having Warmode on. It only changes how tags work, being able to attack the other faction, access to few more abilities, and...

    Tales of the Jedi

    The first episode was the weakest. It felt like she was way too young As for the rest, the Dooku stuff was good, and the last two Ashoka episodes were great. Although the greatness of the second to last episode has a lot to due with how they tied it into the last season of Clone Wars. Also...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Did they implement the changes in the XP requirements in the pre-patch? If not, leveling in Shadowlands should be the slowest it's going to be, right now, unless the XP buff is still up (maybe even with it). I doubt it will stay up for much longer, but maybe they will run it the whole prepatch...

    Icy-veins used to be shit tier info. Like they posted all the noob trap guides that were always bad. Wowhead has better guides, all in one place. My Pi-Hole stopped working, and I never bothered to fix it, but it worked with wowhead fine, some years ago... For browser side stuff, I block all...

    Weather

    It may be more dangerous, for a longer period of the swim. The Mississippi river is one of the most polluted (natural and man made debris). So still a lot of shit to get slammed into as it pushes you down stream. A shallower river also means more of the heavy shit that was deep below, is now...

    I like all the zones in WotLK outside of Borring Tundra, but even that zone kinda grew on me, on successive play throughs on alts. Storm Peaks was the opposite, I thought most of the quest lines were cool, but it was so slow and spread out; so every playthrough with alts, I would try to skip the...

    If 8% is going to break the budget, then it is better to walk away than deal with the stress of an overbearing house payment putting pressure on your life. If it takes 2+ years before the numbers make sense to refi, then that is a lot of stress to put on ones self, and ones marriage. They could...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    My understanding of it is that a Hydrogen fuel cell is chemical conversion process, where the hydrogen bonds with a compound, and becomes more stable and condensed in the cell. Then as the hydrogen is needed the bond is broken, releasing the hydrogen for the vehicle to use. Using a tank that...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    See if there are any tax breaks to convert it to propane, hydrogen, or Ethanol. Propane is easy to get and all Hydrogen requires is a electrolyzer unit to separate hydrogen from water (that you run in your garage or barn to fill up gas tanks). Unfortunately, hydrogen fuel cells are still not...

    Car ?'s

    The battery in particular is a wild card. There are so many factors that will determine it's life that used electric car buyers will never be able to know what they are getting. New owners who like to keep their cars for a long time will also have trouble estimating replacement times. Some of...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Speculators and "investors" loosing interest in Bitcoin and Ethereum is a good thing, if the stated final goal is to have them work as a stable currency. Adoption as a currency looks to still be moving forward, just as slowly as ever.

    I have one of every class at level 50 (2 at 60) and they are all Human, Orc, Elf, or Troll. Obviously, I wont be playing Evoker, but I also read that the DPS plays like shit due to it's 30 yard range and breath attack that you must strafe enemies with, so it's not like I'm even tempted.

    That is the correct starting point. You gotta fight your way into the zone, getting a foothold and all that. If you can see other quests that are available, they were probably added later and/or not related to the main quest line of the zone (such as the Argent Tournament).

    Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

    That's what I assumed this show was going to be. Each season was a new story in the land of Cyberpunk. The best of both types of TV shows, a bit episodic, where they are writing a clear beginning, middle, and end, and a bit serial where they have a bunch of time to flesh out the characters.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Their website only lists 4 TV shows? I haven't seen Buffy before, and it's supposed to be good, but if it has commercials, I wont watch it, regardless. I will put on Netflix, Prime, or even PBS Nature/NOVA instead. Eighteen minutes of commercials per hour feels like a waste of time when I don't...

    So your argument here is that you should go ahead and eat a dirt sandwiches because alternative options in current production are shit sandwiches? The only thing about that is you have pallets, of still good, Hostess products in the Garage. I would rather rewatch the 1000s of hours of old TV...

    You can usually find various builds stickied on the class discos. They are all going to keep changing, up until after the raid starts (probably), if past Blizzard balancing work is anything to go by. Some talents will probably still be buggy, all the way until release (if not longer), and the...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    I have only watched the Peter Jackson movies and still thought this was mediocre through and through. It was slightly worse than the Hobbit movies. If the Hobbit movies didn't have the Peter Jackson and WETA nostalgia going strong for it, I would probably rate them the same. The last episode...
