writing in wow has never been good and was only okay up until wotlk
playing that game for the story now will be a very disappointing experience for u

playing the hard pve content is really fun and challenging in wow nowadays, but the grind involved in getting to the point were ur even ABLE to step foot into mythic raiding or high keystones is incredibly tedious and all interesting content is hidden behind a literal time-gate (ur only allowed to grind out a certain amount of resources each day/week). u will basically have to spend at least 3 months once youve hit level cap, just playing catch up to acquire the entry level stuff thats needed for u to start even remotely enjoying the game.
its a very cancerous system designed to honey trap u with the promise of letting u do content u enjoy only after uve spent literal months doing content that no person in their right mind would enjoy (torghast, grinding up ur keystones, maw dailys/weeklies, grinding up the flavour of the month covenant rep, etc.) that u cant just bang out in one sitting bc the game only allows u to do an hour or two of these "chores" each day. u will be tricked into paying 12 quid a month for a game u can only meaningfully play for 2-3 hours a day before ur locked out of resource gathering.

having said that, the pve content at the top is immensely enjoyable as long as ur not trying to participate in the race for world first """events""". mechanics are fun, challenging and satisfying, there is more variety to character builds and minmaxing than there used to be and everything is fairly viable, even if not always optimal. race for world first however has been blatantly pay to win for a while and the top guilds are so inbred that u will never have any chance of competing, ever.

theres some truth to what wan said before me, the game is very fun to start getting into and learn, but once u realise what their business model is set out to achieve, it leaves a very bad taste in ur mouth imo. there is a very good reason that wow is and has been in massive decline for years. outside of pvp and organised raiding its an incredibly barren and soulless corporate product rather than a game.

someone post that i52 sideshow vid where his ancient morris minors brakes stopped working on the motorway

VIVA DA LIKO LOKO!

i told u how to set up the Box properly so u must have fucked up somewhere

u play the game just as much as he does except u suck ass

ok we saved tf2

so did we save tf2?

weirdly elitist perspective of a classic text that reeks of a first year literature student. why not read the ancient greek text instead if ur gonna bash someone about which translation theyre reading? why not read classics as they were "meant to be read"? why not huddle around a fire while some guy with a harp recites the whole thing from memory, making up his own version throughout the course of multiple nights? to stan someones english translation so hard is to completely miss the point of studying classics. ive read multiple translations, lattimores, popes and fagles' included, and vastly prefer caroline alexanders, a much more recent and easy to read one. literature, especially classics, is not about gatekeeping.

ngl at 16 i was already taller than him and hes not really grown since as far as i can tell

in retrospect im just very sad and disappointed by the fact that players who are idolised to this day by much of the community knew about and were complicit in the abuse and enabled her behaviour. telling a 16 year old kid that trying to commit suicide over being manipulated and betrayed by a much older adult is somehow an unnatural and unacceptable response is beyond vile. i dealt with that whole thing and it took a fair bit of time to put it behind me but to this day it just kinda rubs me the wrong way to know that if i were to tell the whole story i would be doubted at best and completely disregarded at worst because of how well respected those players are even now

you were mates with her as well

arguably i dont deserve a permaban due to the circumstances of my first ban (being groomed by a very popular community figure at 16 who received no repercussions at all after i tried to commit suicide and getting an alt account vac'd by cheating in private mge with my friends and streaming the whole thing) but in this moment of my life im much happier not playing tf2 and im not gonna dispute the ban. i actually cheated in mixes this time and thats that. ban deserved overall, length of it could be up for debate but i dont particularly mind at this point
