OK, having heard a report on some AI bracelet which is always recording audio with the idea that you could go back and audit your day's interactions or ask it questions about what you did that day...

look if you actually want this I think you're forgetting what it means to be human.

the problem with the games market is that consumer spending in much of the west is now this insanely top-heavy game where the upper middle class are the only real spenders, in turn bottlenecking the whole industry into competing for the time of this 10% of the population with disposable income
While I'm glad they are trying SOMETHING to soft-retcon Shadowlands, this line of though makes me fear a future retcon where Sargeras is actually just an infiltrated Titan inside "Disorder" / Fel 😭

Desliguem. "Ah, mas pode ser banco" então desliga e liga de volta pelo número oficial de atedimento do banco, ou vai pessoalmente na agência.

NUNCA FAÇAM NADA POR TELEFONE SE FOI O "BANCO" QUE LIGOU PRA VOCÊS!
Vou fazer um fio explicando o golpe que deram nela. 🧶
Eles ligam e um homem se apresenta como funcionário do Banco, dizendo o nome do departamento que cuida do INSS (ela recebia a aposentadoria pelo Bradesco) e informa que identificaram que a conta dela fazia parte dos desvios do INSS. +

I'm deeply worried about them just dropping the expansion / campaign model because of the live service model that probably makes them a lot more money with very little investment comparatively. I have nothing to base this on apart from what happened with Overwatch.

Yes, been saying this for a while. They have all these different magic types but then wanna tell essentially the same story with all of them: power corrupts and too much of a thing is bad for you. This homogenizes them. Cosmic Void feels like Fel 2.0 to me. #Warcraft
Are cosmic powers (Void, Light, Order, Death, etc) getting TOO similar between each other?

Personally, I think it's fine that he's a good and reliable character that has his shit figured out among a sea of WoW characters that are flawed, morally grey or going through a journey of self discovery.
Being more specific, I'd be fine with Turalyon being flawed and saying/doing misguided shit from time to time if that didn't put a "future raid boss" target on his back because WoW is WoW, we've seen how it goes down every time.
I think the problem is how predictable and heavy handed Blizz goes in both directions. Good and just? We get councils; we get "everyone went to therapy" dialogue. Flawed and morally grey? We get irredeemable assholes and genociders; we get "all cosmic forces are bad actually".

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse
I'm ok with not being able to track enemies spells, auras and cooldowns and I'm okay-ish with not being able to track my groups' spells, auras and cds, but please let us go crazy with tracking and showing stuff about our own characters, just like #Weakauras currently lets us do. #Warcraft #Addons
+ I equipped a new trinket with a buff? Add the aura for that buff to the list dynamically so I can track it. I joined a pug that has a priest in it? Add the Power Infusion aura (when used on me) to the list dynamically so I can track it. #Warcraft
3. A streamlined and "automatic" aura system. I don't wanna have to wait for the devs to manually update and curate my character's cooldown manager options in the next patch. Make a system for the cd manager that lists all of the auras that can affect my character currently. + #Warcraft
2. Simple conditional system (if / then / else). What if I only wanna show if my X ability is out of cooldown when I have a specific proc? Or, tying with the above, play a custom sound when ability Z has less than 5 seconds of cd left. Conditions are one of the most powerful parts of WA. #Warcraft
Wishlist for the Cooldown Manager, to make it closer to Weakauras without being WA: 1. Custom sounds / graphics. I don't know how Blizz would do this, if they would give instructions on how to add media to your game's folder or if they would make a neat in-game importer, but it's needed. #Warcraft
Unfortunately, the only real way to solve this is for Blizzard to test things completely behind closed doors and for the community to have complete trust in Blizz's ability to tell a good story and be faithful to their existing lore. I'm not hopeful about one of those things changing, let alone both
I think part of Porter point is that the further you get into the testing period, the harder it is for them to change stuff and while they have changed stuff live in the past, it's not something that anyone can count on at all, it's very rare.
+ and so you can only give feedback based on the quests before and after the cinematic and what you think happens in it. So it's tricky. I see both of you are talking about a specific recent example that I'm not aware, but I generally tend to agree, it's best to have as much information as possible.
Answering both you and @mcrtalstrike.bsky.social here: I agree with you, but the problem is that the timing is different for each thing. Sometimes a full quest line is on alpha yes, but sometimes a major piece of context is in a cinematic that only gets revealed in live +
With the "wait and see" approach to storytelling that Blizz have been using since at least Legion, I think it's fair to say that there never exists a time when we have full context or information about something until it hits live and gets revealed and by then it's too late to change.
