Hi I'm Xella and I can smell your brains. Toyhouse: https://toyhou.se/Xella VGen: http://vgen.co/Xella Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/xella Ko-fi: http://www.ko-fi.com/xellandria Finished art: check out #xellArt (there's also a feed for it now)!

aww, no "skip this dungeon" option on altar of fangs, because it was new to the patch maybe? still, very sad, don't want to do it but gotta to continue the campaign :( which means I won't be continuing the campaign (for now)

got a very upsetting mail from my health insurance company that says I may lose it in the new year bc I am *checks notes* too disabled to qualify for SSI then got a very baffling github comment on a post/pull request/whatever they are from 2020, which has mostly rerouted my brain so ty for that lol

arrrrrrrrgh!! I hate when you do this to me, wow housing! I feel like it's always things that are rotated in two directions that do it (freywold tables as wall decoration, fresh canvases as countertops, etc.) but it's soooo frustrating to be doing a walkthrough of the house and find it borked!

A screenshot from World of Warcraft housing featuring a room themed primarily in blues.  There is a BlizzCon "poster" on the wall that has rotated to no longer be flush, and is partially buried.

Dorm rooms are coming along reasonably well; ground out rank 3 Ritual Sites for the runic parchment to give a little variety to the stuff on the desks, gotta buy some plushies for beds, and keep questing for some campaign decor. And, as always, find the stomach to grind more resonance crystals... 🤮

A somewhat faded top-down view of a Large Square Room in World of Warcraft housing (via the Edit Floorplan button), which has been divided into 14 dormitories, a storage closet, a teacher/RA's room, and the connecting hallways.

🎉🎉🎉 My shirt collection is... not quite complete, because there's the eight shirts they added to the appearance tab with no known source yet. Thinkin' they're Talebound rewards now, given the names, but either way this has been an itch and now it's scratched!

A screenshot of the World of Warcraft character sheet, featuring Blinky's Collar, a shirt that drops off a lieutenant trash mob in The Voidspire, and which was discovered less than a week after I quit raiding.

I went through the housing catalog and looked up all the delve drops, and (barring the ones added in the patch) I've gotten everything 4x... except the sin'dorei spinning library. I've unlocked up to tier 7 now I think though? So that's... a plus...

We got a special stream planned for tomorrow! ☀️🏖️ I’ll be interviewing the hosts and staff of the Stranglethorn Bonfire Bash WoW RP event since they celebrated their final 10th anniversary a bit ago! 🍓☀️ Come hear how it all started + some fun tales of years past! 🎊✨

another thursday, another garbage day. It's not a recycle week so there's that going for it but the indoor recycle can is overfull so that's gonna be a pain to manage. And I gotta make a sandwich when I get downstairs, that in itself takes like 20 minutes or more uuuuuugh lmao

when I was leveling that hunter I was entertaining ideas of finding her a casual raiding guild and actually doing s3 stuff. I have zero desire to do the dozens of hours of work required to actually get a freshly-dinged character raid-ready though, nevermind that you can't raid without also doing m+

It's officially Autumn, and nothing's better than a cozy slumber party while the nights get longer and cooler! What does your character wear to the slumber party, and as a bonus, is it seasonally festive? 🎃🍂🕯️ #OCSLUMBERPARTY #art

got myself another illicit long table and shoved that in my lofty study's lower area and that seems to have worked. Still need 1-2 more spinning shelves but all I'm getting out of these lowbie delves is the fungarian banner which! is not what I want! Meanwhile, BA's deadline looms in the distance..

Skyborne druid models are way too pretty to believably exist in vanilla they need to be some hideously ugly creature that looks like its begging for death like this

Reminder that leaving Discord will be a temporary measure until you fight Age Verification at the legislative level. You're only buying time if you move to another service and the law forces their hand. Discord IS complying in advance, just be aware of that. They are part of the problem.

Tomorrow, Discord will place everyone into an age group using account signals. They claim 90% of users won't have to confirm their age. They are also introducing new verification methods if you do need to verify that you are an adult, including Credit Cards and App Stores.

More than 90% of you won’t be asked to confirm your age. Since our last post about teen safety, we've had to launch age assurance solutions in more places, including Texas and Brazil. Laws requiring age assurance are expanding around the world. Rather than waiting to be told how to do it, we’re launching our own privacy-preserving approach: one that reflects your feedback.
You can check your age group status at User Settings > Account Status. We've estimated your age group automatically from account signals like how long your account has existed or the kinds of servers you're a part of. We don’t look at your messages, calls, or other content. We're launching this over the course of this week, so it may take a few days to reach your account.
If you're in the adult age group (18+), nothing changes. If you're in the teen age group (13-17), you can keep messaging friends, joining voice calls, and participating in non-age-restricted servers, but with additional safety protections that block age-restricted content, spaces, and settings. Otherwise, Discord works the same. More on this below.
We've added several new ways to confirm your age, including some that don't require an ID or selfie (including credit cards). If you're an adult but weren't automatically placed in the adult age group, you can confirm your age group at any time by going to User Settings > Account Status. More on the new options below.

man, they REALLY nerfed the treasure trove scenario, all that matters now is the keys for the chests in the final room and you're lucky if you max out at 400g/run I mean, it IS decades-old content at this point, but it still felt like a waste of my keys lol
