Shadowlands is like a large dining room table piled with food. But that food is unseasoned, boiled, mushy vegetables and unseasoned, boiled, boneless, skinless chicken breasts. There is a lot of food to eat. And we all sit down and eat it because we are starving. But eating it isnt very rewarding or satisfying. So we dont really want to eat more after our fill, and going back for seconds or thirds isnt appealing.
Oh, let me try!
âŚLetâs seeâŚ
Itâs like a yummy bowl of Cap N Crunch: Crunch Berries. Itâs a bit of work to do, but you like to eat all the yellow bits first and save the berries for last, because theyâre the best! You may even go for seconds. Only problem if do, you may end up roughing up and scratching the roof of your mouth and thatâs the worst!
This would have been more fun if you had said, âDescribe Shadowlands with a Eulogyâ
I remember this weird movie playing on tv about people who went to the afterlife, and I think thereâs a part where some angel is eating something unspeakable. Also some sorta weird ending where someone wants to go hop on another golf cart train to be with someone he met in the afterlife? âŚwait.
Yesterday we had really bad pizza, Iâm talking Kmart, fair food pizza. So today, we got papa Johnâs. Way better. But yesterdayâs pizza kind of set the tone. Doesnât help that the day before yesterday, we had this amazing brick oven pizza, like chefâs kiss.
Too much pizza. Still, it sure beats the huge plate of cold spaghetti (no sauce) we had four days ago. Ugh.
Okay, SL is like thisâŚ
You can lead a horse to water, but you canât force it to drinkâŚ
Howâd I do?
The Shadowlands being an âafterlifeâ is like working at McDonalds your entire career, only for retirement to mean âStart working at McDonalds, but with a different uniformâ.
An analogy for the last two expansions: paper dolls, and every two years you throw out the old wardrobe for the new one.
Itâs actually an elegant restaurant. But they serve minuscule portions, and if you remark on this they tell you itâs good for you to eat very little. And often they just serve everybody at the table a goblet of tap water because itâs good for you to skip meals.
Someone added some veggies to your very large plate of whatâs amounted to⌠just rice(?), but said veggies taste a bit⌠off, to the point that youâre honestly thinking about how itâd taste if it were just the rice, but that only disappoints you further. And the guy at the register doesnât speak your language.
You have just finished furnishing your new home, but because itâs rather empty you go outside in order to buy a nice painting/poster or something similar to decorate your walls. You also find one and the way itâs displayed it looks absolutely stunning. So you buy it, put it on your walls, but as time goes by you start realizing some issues with it. Maybe there is a small error, the color feels off, it starts falling apart.
But, because you really like the painting you hire someone to fix it. Maybe they can repair it. And now youâre waiting until you get the call that itâs done. Youâre hopeful but deep down you get the feeling that it might have been a waste of your money.
Shadowlands is like being on a train thatâs already sailing off a cliff since the tracks ran out but the fall is so long that you canât even keep yourself awake for the inevitable crash.
Shadowlands is like being Bill Murray in the film Groundhog Day. Except every day when you go to what you expect to be a piano lesson, you stand at a chalkboard and write âI am really still having fun; this is almost overâ 100x.
SLs is like riding a bike.
Except the bikes on fire. And youâre on fire. And everything is on fire. And youâre in hell.
Sorry but I had to
(Not my saying, tis a meme I ripped off teehee. Thought of it as soon as I saw this thread) xD
SLs is a bowl of kids cereal like lucky charms but someone took the marsh mellows out and let it sit in the milk for a week in the sun.
It reminds me of making jokes and laughing about videos with friends til I got to animated fell and broke my radial head. After that it was a long and painful wait of 6 months to return to normal with therapy along the way to regain mobility.
Shadowlands is like pineapple pizza; some people like it, but everyone else thinks they are crazy and disgusting for doing so.
Teacher hands out homework and says âno rushâ
1st kid does it right away and complains that it allows other kids to catch up to him
2nd kid complains that itâs still homework and demands the teacher do it for him
3rd takes it for the homework it is and does it at a leisurely pace since it was described as no rush
All 3 kids are not friends with one another
Itâs like that plate of mushy unappetizing food but you have to eat each thing by itself in a strict order. You must chew each bite 100 times before moving to the next. But after you eat that first plate you are allowed a choice at your next meal. Eat the exact same thing in the exact same way or throw all the same foods in a bowl and pick out bits in any order. But it is still the same tasteless food.
For me, itâs like eating a dish lots of people rage about, but when you get it you realize the chef didnât add any salt, and the restaurant is completely out. The dish is still ok, but itâs not delicious or very exciting without that darn salt.
