Tbh I thought Mechagon was fun. I really dig the odd twitch based challenge to freshen thing up.
And Corruptions were solid once Blizz let you just buy the damn things. It continues to baffle me that wasn’t a day one idea. The challenges to unlock them were fun. But having to do them again for every toon you want them on was such a terrible gameplay experience.
I remember I just stopped playing much for awhile. Because midway through trying to unlock I think Memories of a Lucid Dream for the 2nd time on my DK I realized the tremendous amount of fun I wasn’t having. And only logged in to do stuff on my main and I usually had thar wrapped up within the day.
They’re are 11 classes with 32 specs between them that are all pretty well designed. Usually. So I’m baffled why they force you into just the one class and often just the one spec.
The moment SL killed me was when I realized I didn’t want to play my alts. Because if I took a shine to their class and wanted to play them at competitive end game it’d mean more Torghast trudging. Getting one great artifact for this main and one just okay one for my DK completely killed any desire to even look at the Maw again.

Idea for a fast food restaurant chain: Machiavelli’s, a brand that focuses on subtly screwing over its customers

You can tell Blizz’s villains have never been that great because none of them ever dropped a synth album.

That happens when you sack Timbuktu and send the women off to the Harems in Baghdad, send the men to the salt mines and appropriate the mountains of wisdom from the libraries.
Honestly by most accounts these were just women’s social clubs.
Male European travelers weren’t allowed inside and assumed it must be a salacious suck fest. Later female European travelers tried to correct this misconception but by that time the idea of a Harem as basically Eyes Wide Shut had been enshrined in popular conscious thanks to fiction.
Like so much of history a completely inaccurate but much more interesting lie overshadowed the truth.
As it was excellently said in this classic;
On a related note, I wish it was more socially acceptable for women to have multiple husbands.

No joke, this ended up basically being one of the villains my DM recently put into our campaign. Not literally, just… similarly.

Personally I’d only be interested in polyamory if it meant holding down a group large enough for weekly D&D sessions.
I’ve compromised my morals for a lot less.

In many cases, the women in a wealthy near eastern mans harem were political marriages (Solomon reportedly had over 600 wives?) but the subsaharan african women were considered so attractive by the men of the Islamic Conquest that they were taken captive, and sold into sex slavery. Their inconvenient husbands, fathers and brothers were sent to work manual labor. The attractiveness of Subsaharan African women inspired the Subsaharan African slave trade, and created an entirely new genetic branch in the ancient near east. It wasn’t a social club in their case.
Even if it were, I doubt it would be very common.
There is a glaring physiological, evolutionary reason that males are driven to impregnate all females and females are driven to be impregnated by only the best male.
ppffffffftttt
That’s lizard brain mentality.
Women want one thing and one thing only.
The best food.
I mean… someday, maybe we could isolate the genes in hares that allow them to get pregnant, while pregnant. Till then, there can only be one. Like the highlander, but with studs.
Victory for women! You have more options than ever before! “Let them eat cake”… psht, which kind?
Men only think in terms of reproduction, because they have absolutely no control over it.
Women don’t think like this, in terms of breeding, or biological incentives.
It’s more economical to us, less about good genes and more about survivability. When I go on first dates, the first thing that goes through my head is, “Can this man be a good partner when we are inevitably forced to survive the zombie Apocalypse??”
That’s my rating scale.

In my youth I tried to crack the courtship code on so many different angles. Turns put I should’ve led with how I’m a good cook and have residential construction experience. So am capable of most household repairs or redecoration endeavors.
Just for the love of God don’t ask me to fix a machine. I am convinced they are powered by the Omnissiah and must be shown submission before operating properly.
I’m childhood friends with three men who’ve gone into engineering, programing and automobile mechanics respectively and the fact none of them really disagree should terrify everyone.
Nobody’s 100% on how any of this ish works. Only how it’s supposed to work. When that fails, give alms to the Machine Spirit.

In my personal experience, if you give them a good smack and say “work you piece of garbage!” you can scare machinery into submission.
