We all have addresses. There should be a way to go directly to an address without needing to know the account.
#warcraft PSA - don’t feel pressured into giving your bnet away just cause someone you barely know wants to see your wow home. Not everyone is comfortable broadcasting their battle tag.

Microsoft To Replace All C/C++ Code With Rust By 2030
Microsoft plans to eliminate all C and C++ code across its major codebases by 2030, replacing it with Rust using AI-assisted, large-scale refactoring. "My goal is to eliminate every line of C and C++ from Microsoft by 2030," Microsoft Distinguished Engineer Galen Hunt writes in a post on LinkedIn. "...

<gotye voice>Now he's just somebody named Mark Gastineau.🎵
I posted this table last week with a couple of errors, mostly missing Mark Gastineau. This is now fixed with Myles Garrett updated.

I missed the first quarter, watched the second quarter when things went south, and have not watched since. The Eagles have only been able to score when I'm not watching. I can't watch this team. They become unwatchable when I watch.

Blizzard needs to go full Sims with our alts. I don't just want them in my house when I log in. I want to see my guildie's alts puttering about the neighborhood while I'm flying around. Let me see them walk down the road outside while I'm futzing with whatever in my house.

Reading this quote about how CEOs think about genAI courtesy a reddit post www.reddit.com/r/gaming/com... and this part "they see anyone who's opposing it or on the fence about it as 'the uneducated masses who don't understand they're being uplifted,'" made me realize they're Xera and we're Illidan.

These ads had way too much of an impact on how very young me expected relationships to be.
Mount Airy Lodge is the one I remember the most. I have never been to the Poconos. I was not in that tax bracket by a long shot.

What comes out first: FotOR or ME5?
Last night's biggest surprise was Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, led by Casey Hudson, who directed KOTOR (and Anthem). Exciting news for lots of people... but Lucasfilm says the studio was founded this year, which means that 2030 is an *optimistic* guess. Maybe it'll be a PlayStation 7 game

I guess Jogu's been cut off. Should change his name to Jogu the Overserved.

I don't understand what Lego is doing. Like piece by piece they are replacing this universe as it falls apart and then one day once all is Lego they'll replace us with Lego and dispose of us humans by dumping us with everything that is Not Lego and the proper universal order will have been restored.
LEGO Christmas Table Decoration is $19.99 on Amazon buff.ly/wiJLszy #ad
might be $9.97 at your local Costco

The fun thing about the hunt for decor is that I've got alts all over the world right now, each on their own mission for different items. It feels like my whole warband is in on the effort to find more furniture!

To be fair, anyone looking at my Steam backlog would think I have no idea what to do with video games and yet I keep owning more video games.
