Names Rikaku in about every game I play, but you can call me Rika.

Things you'll likely find here:
🎉 Video Games (Esp FFXIV & WoW)
🎉 Anime (esp Gundam)
🎉 Animal Pictures
🎉 Bad Words
🎉 SFW

I'll eventually put a real pinned post, but for now. This'll do.

Meme format showing a Night Elf Hunter from Warcraft. She is talking normally standing in front of a battle pet NPC. "this is where I would level my Argus Holiday Pet" it reads.

"If I had one!" The night elf Hunter angrily yells.

Extremely thankful for this tutorial! I don't have the money for a new computer atm so being able to extend the life of this one while it keeps running Windows 10, but safely, is so nice.

I am very tech stupid and this was easy to follow, thanks @socksthewolf.com!

Windows 10 End of Life is in less than 2 weeks!
But you don't have to upgrade to Windows 11!!

MS throws you to the wolves, but the wolves will throw you a bone.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 10h

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Some players dedicate themselves to making new playable allied races. If I have to, I will become that person but for Reverse Giraffe Lava Long Dogs.

THEY. DESERVE. TO B. TAMEABLE.

Ok Blizzard. Hear me out. Just for a moment.

These models are already tameable. And they are tall. And they look goofy when they move, and they shrink down a lot in order to be a Hunter pet... but thats ok, cause we love them anyways!!!

SO PLEASE GIVE US THE LAVA LONG DOGS. CMON!!!!

Image of a Volcanic Deepstrider (or what the OP loves to call, a Reverse Giraffe Lava Long Dog). It is a strange creature with long legs similar to a giraffe, but more draconic in features. It is walking around in lava deep in a cave.

POTATOADS! At first, I wasn't sure if these playful muppet-like bipedal pollywogs would be tameable or just be critters, but it turns out they are - in the Hopper family (of course!).

It's very likely taming them will require the Florafaun taming skill, which we don't yet know much about.

Model shots of 5 colours of the new Potatoad model coming in WoW: Midnight. These are like bipedal Pollywogs with plant effects (leafy growths, blooms at the ends of their tails). Colours: blue & green, red & green, maroon & teal, red & green, green & tan.

SPOREGLIDERS are a fancy and welcome addition to the tiny Sporebat family.

Their frame is clearly similar to the new dragonhawk model, even if the creatures aren't related.

Model shots of 4 colours of the new sporeglider model coming in WoW: Midnight. These are somewhat fungoid, long and sleek, flying creatures with 6 fleshy wings and a network of glowing protuberances and the ends of their tails. Colours: teal blue with pink glows, olive green with orange glows, magenta with cyan glows, and bright red.

Midnight hunter pet models added to the database tonight.

(A thread - I'll add one panel per post!)

First up, the gorgeous, ethereal new EVERSONG MANA WYRMS.

A stunning update, and a call-back to the wyrm in the BC trailer, which was a lot fancier than the game model ended up being.

Model shots of 6 mana wyrm colours coming in WoW: Midnight. Essentially, flyng ethereal serpents or eels with translucent back halves and beaky, scaled faces. Colours: blue, green, purple, red-gold, dark purple, gold.

if you think about it Bright is kinda the main character of UC Gundam.

Actual conversation with my friends last night.

"Yeah, so I saw the legs and it looked REALLY good. So I bought it."

"... You bought Gunpla because you liked the legs??"

"I told myself I didn't need it, but it turns out I did need it. IT'S GOT THE LEGS."

So anyways I bought this:

One of the newest Real Grade kits, the RG Wing Zero box.
