Definitely. This is the good stuff I crave.

This is a new spelling to me, but I recognized it as a cognate of the Bantu Kicongo, which would mean the language from around Congo river. See? This is cool stuff!
Ki, the language; Wa, the people; U, the place. This may vary based on the Bantu language in question*, but in Swahili itās: Kiswahili, the language; Waswahili, the people who speak or identify as Swahili (itās historically complicated), and Uswahili, the place where Waswahili live.
There are centuries of literature in these languages, but we donāt know about them because some white dudes didnāt think they seemed sufficiently Greek or Latin to translate or whatever.
*also depends on noun class, which is another interesting thing I wonāt go into here

So I think I shall be taking a week off from WoW. Not the forums, just the game itself. I have a project I am working on and enjoying a lot, so I shall be focusing on that!

On a Portuguese note, I speak Spanish about as well as I speak English (you know, badly), and Iām sort of convinced that for a while, I was in a Brazilian tourist app of some sort, because people would come in asking for the girl who spoke Spanish at my coffee shop.
And then I could usually help a little because if you speak Spanish and Portuguese/highly accented Spanish back and forth very slowly and with lots of trying different words and gesticulation, you can absolutely confuse both parties. But sometimes explain where the bus picks up people or where the nearest bathroom is.
I kind of miss that.

You really do.
Iām generally impressed by how awesome other toons look, even if itās a look Iām unlikely to ever use for my own just because I canāt imagine them wearing it.

Alynsa and Nightsong, Iām sorry for jabbering on. I hope you both get a good nightās sleep. I like naps, but Iām an old man who benefits from such things.

You do apologize a lot. Donāt take this the wrong wayā¦ but have you considered talking to someone? No matter how old we are it is never too late to seek help.
Also, thereās little about WoW specifically that keeps me up at night. The same goes for these forumsā¦ though thatās also not entirely true, as how I regard Alynsa does impact my life beyond these forums.
Finally, my sleep issues are decades old and related to my mental health, which therapy is helping with.
Regardless I can assure you nothing you have done has kept me up at night, at least not in a bad way, sometimes itās not so much that I need to sleep and canāt so much as it is that I need to and donāt want to because something has caught my attention and is more important.
Interesting notesā¦ naps/sleep, differentiated by the length of sleep with a nap being between ten and thirty minutes, helps with processing short term memory into long term memory. This can aid if learning new skills as our minds can only retain so much short-term memory before it is lost. This is why when learning new skills/information we often grow tired as we are working our minds more than normal.

They have like negative gravity for meā¦
See this is exactly why I donāt play themā¦ Iām not a fan of the shapeshifting stuff. I take my characterās looks fairly seriously as well as their backgrounds.

Yeah, Iām not sure what Iād do if that happened for myself. Iām by no means well off and Iām terrified of hitting that doughnut of not enough to afford the help I need and too much to get help finding the help I need.

On the vest mog issue, Sledge has always, in my head, been an absolutely gung-ho sort of dwarf. Sheās a classic Bronzebeard ā curious to the point of rudeness, no boundaries, no off-switch.
Sheās my charge first, think later warrior and she usually rides a bear and has lots of flaming red hair.
I think sheād probably like the archeology in this expac until she got thrown out for breaking things by accident. The glasses are probably OOC and should be replaced by something more consistent, but theyāre cute, dangit.

Checking out that Hazbin Hotel show.
Iām not the biggest fan of the art style but as someone who does dream of creative pursuits the idea of dropping a pilot on Youtube and getting A24 to produce a series a few years later is pretty cool.
Obviously Iām partial to scary looking degenerates being the erstwhile protagonists and gallows humor so unsurprisingly Iām amused. Though Iām more of a Necropolis than Inferno boy if you get that reference so Iām not the easiest lay for the concept.
But made me laugh out loud a few times so far so good. Partial to the archdevil constantly talking smack in a 1930s Atlantic accent.
