I'm so, so tired of AI. So tired of feeling like I have to analyze every little pixel or musical note because something looked or sounded good at first but then triggered my uncanny valley response.

In-game, you are actually required to ignore Asmongold et al if you want to report them. You cannot engage with them, and you must use the ignore feature. If you don't, CS will disregard any reports you make even more than they may already do because you're not using the main tool they provide.

I watched a friend stream the Forever beta and was saddened to see it wasn't as beautiful as it looked at Blizzcon. But now I'm seeing everyone share their screenshots and I think my friend might just have a potato for a computer.

okay but as a crazy lore nerd, one of the most exciting reveals in the WoW Forever news was the Drowned City dungeon bc I'm pretty sure it's a reference to the troll city of I'lalai which got wiped out by Neptulon at some point in the past!

A screenshot of the Drowned City dungeon from WoW Forever.An excerpt from a tablet in a vanilla WoW quest that talks about I'lalai. It says:

The Krakken then bent their fury upon Min'loth, and an ocean fell upon I'lalai. And it was no more. And then the waters fell upon the jungle, washing clean all they met. Trolls and beasts cried out as the waters smashed and drowned them. Many Gurubashi wondered why the ocean swallowed them, but then they died and knew nothing. And finally, when the waters reached the mountains, they stopped. Appeased, they retreated back beyond the shores, and they left a wake of death. They retreated, but they surged around I'lalai and remained, drowning it forever. And the chief Var'gazul, safe behind the mountains in Zul'Gurub, went out to the jungle and found it washed clean of his people. And he despaired, for his dreams of conquest were thwarted. And never was Min'loth the Serpent found.
