I like mileenas origin story in this one. Being queen and getting infected with the tarkarten virus. I loved how that explains her previous look

I’ve heard excellent things about the new Street Fighter game.

I kinda fell off of Mortal Kombat after the most recent one. It was fine but it was so online focused and I hate playing fighting games online. The seconds of lag that are negligible in shooters or MMOs can ruin a whole match.

And I miss the Krypt just being a fun dumb thing. I remember one of them would jump scare you extremely rarely but after it happened once you were ALWAYS on edge.

I miss stupid cheap thrills like that. No room for that in the AAA industry because they’ve to go for the broadest appeal possible.

Yeah it’s pretty cool, the only storyline I didn’t like or don’t like thus far is the Scorpion and Sub-Zero one about how they are actually brothers now and that only bugs me due to the fancannon where they could be a couple one day because that pretty much kills it and I’m like no that sucks because legit that sucks, lol.

I’m sorry to hear that because I really enjoyed the newest one to the point that it and WoW have become my main games but I get it so I don’t hold it against you or whatever because I get your reasoning and I understand I used to find the krypt pretty fun too until I had fully cleared it then it was like damn.

It’s kind of what I love about MK. You can come up with ridiculous stories and nobody even blinks an eye :blush:

After watching that I now desperately want an EBG where you’re assigned teams of three and everyone’s just trying to be king of the murder pyramid.

Like we got murder pyramids for days in Azeroth. It’d totally work.

So because my life is strange I found myself with an abundance of those cheddar cracker peanut butter sandwich things. Like 1/4ths a pallets worth because when you work in the word of independent contracting sometimes people go broke and payment in the form of merchandise you’re pretty sure was lifted off a truck is better than none at all.

So generous man that I am I decided to share several with the many squirrels that live around the Great Lakes.

Trouble is they recognize you. And now I got squirrels trying to hang out with me in parking lots and the sidewalk.

Not sure if I should put a stop to this or just own it and be a IRL Disney Princess. Like oh you don’t have woodland critter pals? Sucks to suck.

I mean, who wouldn’t want an army of squirrels and other woodland creatures following them? I’d totally embrace it, sounds awesome :smiley:

Sounds like a good way to attract a mate

Unironically I’ve been told my natural affinity for animals is my most attractive feature.

It will get grating though. I will 900% abandon you at a house party to befriend the nearest tiny mammal.

None of this would be happening if they stopped giving them fuel.

Every time they post on Twitter or these forums taking a shot at them, that person sees what they’re doing (or hears about it) which encourages them to keep up the antagonism. Much like the school bully, they get entertainment out of the reactions that their posts generate.

No reaction, no entertainment. They’ll try harder for a bit, but then they’ll move on to find something that’s actually entertaining. I learned that lesson the hard way as someone who was bullied a lot when I was younger, and the reason the bullying continued is because I reacted to it every single time.

If they all stopped talking about them, this wouldn’t be an ongoing drama. But sadly when I tried to reinforce that point, well… as you can see it didn’t help.

Seems like all three of them (Baal, Doness and Lannis) are the type that like to get the last word in, whether it be here or on Twitter and because of that, it keeps this entire ball of drama rolling.

So I’m making my Worgen Druid a romantic. Specifically in the linguistic sense but I am writing him as a cursed bard.

So a kinda Franco-Italian vibe through the lens of Spanish which is the only non-Germanic language I can sort of speak.

I figure Dalaran is the best region of origin for him. Can’t think of another human city that has that je ne suis pas about it…

Ngl there’s a reason I side-eye XY Belf mains.

Your favorite race is like a zodiak sign but real.

I really like the most simplistic backgrounds for characters like that because it almost seems absurd.

I’ve built up my Worgen Druid to be the most average in terms of how Harvest Witches would go but have added the expressed obsession of maintaining the strain of heirloom roses that grow in Gilneas.

Sure, she has all the power to shapeshift and summon nature’s rage, but nah. Aggressive gardener first and foremost…

That is just a Druid when you got right down to it.

Truthfully I’m most drawn to psykers. Shadow Priests in WoW. Who essentially weaponize neurological problems.

Imagine being able to throw a migraine at someone.

I think I’ve mentioned on the forum before, but as a chronic migraine sufferer this is actually what compelled me to main a Shadow Priest for so long.

The sheer disorienting nausea and bewilderment coupled with the brain wracking pain that makes you feel like your teeth are going to fall out of your nose would be a terrible power to be able to inflict. (If anyone has ever experienced a migraine, you know exactly what I’m talking about.)

Sprinkle in some paranoia and screams that only your enemy can hear and that’s basically the whole Shadow Priests toolkit.

Oh, and a dash of tentacles. Can’t forget those.

Glad I’m not the only one who knows this. Responding to it just adds fuel to the fire. I don’t like that person either, and have good reason to detest her after the vile accusations she made about me, but the majority of people know she’s uncredible so it’s not much worth getting riled up about. Just refute whatever bogus claims there are and move on. So long as people don’t believe her it’s fine.

Idk about ya’ll but my reaction is always;

“Pffft. I’ve been called worse things by better people. Correctly”

I want to play a Vulpera druid so bad. Just so I can headcannon him as a werefox type creature simply because it would remind of the werecat mod I had for Skyrim that I used for a Khaajit I had.

I’d have a blast with it just from a RP perspective

You watch this and DARE tell me rats aren’t babies.

Hunter and Druid are just too much fun in WPPVP;
