I finally got a version of the shield to drop. At least I can stop farming LFR for it, now.
In the weeks since I made that post, they included the “of Lordaeron” title. That was a pleasant surprise. Really helps with the theme I was going for.

Most of you know me as 3 people zarno,isagerth or my worgen druid tarolt. Well today I am letting my sub lapse. I must admit I am curious about dragonflight but however if the story is yet again mediocre, I don’t think I am going be invested in story as much anymore. I think lots of people forget you need a good reason to fight a boss fight rather than just throwing one out there. Like they seem to be doing with a certain alliance character in game excluding the novels. Show it in game blizzard not outside source material.

For me Andromeda is not a guilty pleasure. I played the heck out of that game, and I always recommend it. It actually has high reviews these days despite them having to transform their future DLC into a comic. The developers were led to believe that they messed up so they cut their losses. I guess the developers did mess up in the bugs department, but I wouldn’t know. I got the game around 3 months after it came out, and it was bug free for me.
That was the game that taught me to stop paying attention to community outrage of games or reviewers. I decide whether I’m interested in a game based on the marketing that comes out right before a game launches, and then I decide if I enjoy the game or not by playing it, and I don’t got around telling people a game is bad simply because I didn’t enjoy it.
As for guilty pleasure? I generally don’t feel guilty for enjoying a video game these days anymore, but the closest I can think of right now is perhaps, Cyberpunk 2077. So much potential wasted, but I loved it anyways for its story and ambiance. Might’ve helped that the playstyle I picked was essentially a Ninja Hacker. I punched and hacked my way through most combat encounters. Punching enemies in the face was very satisfying. So was creating chaos in a room by hacking into enemy implants and sentry turrets.

This isnt the comment I meant to respond to but I wasnt going to dig that far for The Boys comment.
I found Hughie after getting some Temp V interesting because thats a bit how I wrote Benedikt. He did what was right in his breathing years but always in an underhanded, quiet way. Like how he snuck a few Orcs out of Durnholde but he was so nearly caught and killed he completely chickened out and moved to Stromgarde.
He’s been considerably less reserved in undeath. In no small part because I’ve written him being nearly destroyed and regenerating via clever use of dispersion and cannibalism like so;
But I’m reminded of the book The Power Broker, the tell all story by Rober Caro on the runaway real estate developer Robert Moses. Who had startling authority for an an unelected position. And moreover it’s ta meditation on the nature of power. And how it doesn’t corrupt, but rather reveals.
To that end I feel WoW writers only remark on the downsides of undeath. And not how it is functional immortality and borderline invincibility. Suffice to say it’s always “Woe is me” and never “Huh. Some downsides, to be sure. But seeing as I’m nigh unstoppable- I’ve some changes to see to”.

Do you think Butcher is a threat at this point? do you think he’s going to become addicted to temp V? I feel like he’s going through a villian arc and I’m a sucker for that.
Also, I can’t wait for The Deep to die, I hate him more than I hate Homelander.

The Deep is frankly a more daring characterization I’d expect from television. Perhaps the most accurate depiction of a sex offender; stupid, terrified and such a vacant imbecile that theyre of use to whomever.
Suffice to say I was friends with my own version of someone like that and his complete befuddlement at why our last interaction was me breaking his nose is so on point. They’re such dumb animals you almost pity them. Almost.
A Train is who I find more interesting. Someone coming from such a miserable background being unwilling to gamble his better life is such an interesting story to me. He is such a bag of crap but I sense good in him. It’s just smothered by layers upon layers of fear.
I’ve worked as on political campaigns with candidates with similar origin stories is all I’m saying. They werent that bad but a cat catching their tongue on certain issues was at least understandable. I didnt grow up in Cabrini Green, I’m not gambling my career, I’m not the guy risking the capacity to give his long suffering mother the beach house and relaxing twilight years every good son wants to. So I wasnt going to yell at them. Wasnt my place.
As for Butcher - well. I feel I tried to do it the right way. I’ve been involved in politics since I was in the womb, I used to joke. Soon as I could vote I was involved. Funny story about that. When I became an adult, when I started downing bottles of wine with my mom - the former campaign manager. Well, she got to talking. Told me about how some of those men would treat her. Would grab her. Even with my father as a trusted friend, even with me as a hot bun in the oven. Never told my dad as she was worried what hed do. And only told me because she knows I’m better than attacking people who are now helpless old men - though you can be damn sure I considered it.
But yeah on that Butcher note, “You were right- we can only do it your way” well. I’m not saying no to it. Not at this point.

I really hope they redeem A Train too. I think he has the potential to be an audience think piece on how even if you start out as a terrible person you can still make the choice to change. I have hope for him, I hope he joins the right team.
I feel like Butcher needs to go in this direction because he’s grieving, but I think he’s going to hurt someone in the process. I just hope that person is Homelander because that would be cathartic. Or Soldier Boy, and win back his friendship with Mother’s Milk.
The only person I have doubts about right now is Starlight, where did she think this was gonna go?

The shows maybe the most honest I’ve seen.
There isn’t any good. Closest is Starlight but anyone involved in the nightmare gets their hands dirty.
I simply adored a quote from MM though;
“There’s got to be a line somewhere. Otherwise you cant know where you stand”
And God Damn. Aint that the truth.

I think the fact that Butcher, of all people, doesn’t even question why the Temp V is reaching his hands so easily despite how closely guarded every single one of those vials must be suggests that he, at least, is addicted. Season 1 touched upon what power addiction does to Supes. So I’m expecting the plan to keep using it will blow up in Butcher, and Hughie’s faces.

I was feeling inspired and made a short story. It’s about my character trying to come to terms with what what she saw in the Shadowlands after returning from Zereth Mortis. It’s based on an event I went through when I was going through an existential crisis.
