HAPPY WORLD OKAPI DAY! Did you know that okapi communicate at an infrasound frequency that humans cannot hear? Did you know there are only ~10-35k okapi are left in the wild? Did you know you can help protect the species by donating to the Okapi Conservation Project? www.okapiconservation.org

I do agree with Nobbel - I think Thrall's toast. I think they showed us K'aresh's world soul being revived by mortal sacrifice for a reason. We're gonna need to do the same for Azeroth, and it'll be Thrall who steps up. Maybe it'll take two - Alliance and Horde - and Malfurion will join him.

WoW Forever is cool WoW retail is cool This is the most straightforward "hell yeah two cakes" imaginable Why are we doing this

If I see a new channel get recommended to me on YT, no matter how interesting or relevant the content, if the thumbnail is AI generated, I block the channel. I can promise you I'm not the only one who does this. If you're a small channel, using AI in your thumbnails is doing you no growth favors.

Curious what new and/or familiar lands people are most excited to see visited one day in WoW Forever? I'm really, deeply hoping for Nazjatar one day, the way it was intended: underwater and full of fish!

Zephras Isle illustrates the staggering importance of a proper introductory experience for any new race. I hope one of the lessons retail can take from wowf's success is a more intentional approach to the stories it tells with new races (an exceptional job was done with Earthen - it can be done!)

An afternoon in WoW Forever and I can say it's everything I love about retail and classic with none of what I dislike about either. And as a Titan hater and World Soul lover and 12.2/TLT on the way in retail.. it is a DAMN good time to love World of Warcraft. and FUCK THE TITANS!

Addons restricted, information obscured until discovered, roleplaying support, third space encouragement, focus on the journey not the destination, surnames.. WoW Forever is basically introducing everything I want in WoW. But I'm just left sad these things can't be translated into retail as well.

Lot of hype for this WoW Forever thing, of course, but MAN am I still nervous for the fate of my beautiful virtual wife Valunei and her Tyrsguard friends. I hope we see them down at the Worldcore (or maybe fighting Kith'ix since Tyr himself has unresolved beef!)

Discourse about your favorite pieces of media becomes so much healthier when you block the bad actors who exist only to contribute toxicity to the conversation and remove productivity. A reminder to curate your circles, criticize constructively, and protect your mental health. And drink more water.

Blizzcon predictions: An updated longhorn grazer texture in Sholazar Basin so we can have high fidelity okapi in-game finally. I know this will happen because I will uncomfortably sob in front of the devs until they promise me that it's happening.

I will never not repost draenei love. DIONISS ACA

I really can't give enough praise for how well the Draenei's story has been told the past few expansions. It would have been so easy to write them off as a 'completed' race after Legion, but they've genuinely become the most interesting race in the setting since Dragonflight.

There's a reason I'm not on social media much. I also love WoW - I even love criticizing WoW, as long as it remains productive and constructive. But some of you bitches are simply difficult to be around. Go paddleboard.

I love Warcraft. I have been able to make some, in my opinion, pretty cool things drawing on that love. However, in my year or so of being 'online' with Warcraft, I've slowly felt that appreciation dwindle. Despite meeting a lot of incredible people through this place and others (cont.)

My wish is that every single individual displaced by the upcoming Xbox layoffs filters into independent game studios to make their dream games, because each of those projects would individually have more passion and creativity than the entirety of Xbox's AAA game library.

I think we gotta stop getting so worked up about what faceless strangers are saying on the internet about the guys in our video games If social media is making you mad please block people, turn off your phone, and go feed the ducks. Just make sure to feed them veggies/mealworms instead of bread.

The new housing stuff in 12.1 looks cool! Can we please, please, please either hide our pet beds or choose from a variety? I'm a bird lover and I'd really prefer a perch (not a cage though!) instead of a pet bed. Or a free standing option with the pet bed hidden! Both are good!

Okay Dino-Riders isn't the MOST esoteric cartoon but it's one I think more people need to be aware of because it fucking rules. Give me a modern day reboot!

Post a cartoon you remember that nobody else does

I don't wanna say anything as presumptuous as "Square Enix is back" but they're formulating the beginning of a pretty fucking compelling argument
