NEW EPISODE OF ESSENCE OF AZEROTH:
Nostalgia is a soft bed sitting on top of quicksand. Join me for the first time in a year as I talk about nostalgia, death, games, and why I haven't played World of Warcraft in over a year.

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets
Pokemon Unite shutting down seems to be the full sign that the MOBA genre is solved and not worth the squeeze unless you have a trapped player base full of crazies.
It was a decent game, but never had the moba hooks that would let it compete with League or Dota or even HOTS.
Apparently the curse of the (straight passing) white man is being sent super transphobic texts daily with no ability to make them stop, other than telling them to eat shit after each one and watch them unsubscribe me.
I'm begging modern games reviewers to learn the definition of a perfect fucking score and why and when to give a game said score (which is never, especially on a out of 10 scale).
Especially aware of pet death this week, as it's been a year since Shadow passed, my parents in law's cat is close to passing, a friend's old pet passed, and my 18 year old deaf black cat is mostly made of snot at this point.
Anyways, here's Shadow. I miss her every day.
For six weeks, NFL star Azeez Al-Shaair has used his platform to honor Palestinian girls. Today, he honored Fatima Al-Bayook, a Palestinian girl who was shot and killed by Israeli forces two days ago.
Fatima was the sole survivor of an Israeli attack that killed her entire family in 2023.
The notorious conman Vivek Ramaswamy loves to claim he grew up in Cincinnati... but he apparently never learned to eat a bowl of its trademarked chili.
One more week of this bozo! 🤞🏻
You only have one more week in the PMCFQ campaign! That means only one more week to win this bundle of cuteness! Donations of $25 or more get you a chance to win a #Warframe Kitty Speaker statue *AUTOGRAPHED BY THE STAFF AT DIGITAL EXTREMES!*

The moment Charlie Kirk came up in that movie was like one of those “perfectly machined parts fitting into place” videos, just a masterful reveal of a grand design that could not have been any other way from the start
scott galloway and jessica tarlov held an event here in town yesterday where “don’t impeach or waste time on investigations because ‘28” was the consensus position of the panel. so yeah, this is something to anticipate.
If Democrats actually win big because people want a check on Trump corruption I expect every move to do so will be covered in the corporate media as being risky to their 2028 position.
On this day in 1999, Cartoon Network aired a 24-hour Scooby-Doo marathon for Halloween. The marathon was filled with little clips between episodes parodying THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT which had been released in theaters just a few a few months earlier. Link below for the first 12hs of the marathon.
First look at the 4K remaster of "Cowboy Bebop" (The Movie).
Coming in Japanese theaters on October 30th (for Halloween).

Vivek Ramaswamy, the GOP nominee for Ohio governor, released an ad in which his opponent’s mother calls her “a liar.”
Democratic candidate Amy Acton hasn’t been in contact with her mother since 1978. These documents corroborate her childhood trauma story.
When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.
If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon.
Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.
it's been a decade since I played a COD campaign and out of interest I decided to give MW4 a go and... I'm not sure what to say. US devs got away with a certain amount of myopic jingoism in the 2000's, but the evil "othering" in this game is out of this fucking world. I've been appalled for 2 hours.
Vivek Ramaswamy has been a horrible person in public for so long that until a friend reminded me, I totally forgot that I wrote a letter to the editor blasting his opposition to a living wage for campus workers more than *two decades ago*

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind.
Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.
