I've almost been doing this without realizing it. It began with me forgetting to buy coffee last week so I've been going out in the morning to buy some on the corner. I live in NYC so, my breathing and listening involves the sound of cars whooshing by with some bird noises, but it works!

As someone who hates spoilers and likes to discover the story on my own, I have a few thoughts about how much I like how they rolled this out. The heart of the story wasn't in the raid. It was just the conclusion and eliminating a threat with a side of vengeance. BTW, this raid is ridiculously fun!

Okay last one, Spiritual Sky. I will say of all the new one's I've tried today, this comes close. It's got the earthy, amber-ish slightly sweet thing going on. I might just prefer the Hem more. You're never going to find pure Dragon's Blood in stick form, but I was hoping for a little more. Ah well!

Annnnnnd he's down! Good riddance... this time and the countless more times I'm taking him down this season (with friends of course). 😜 This is normal. AOTC is the next goal. #warcraft

My sense of smell might be messed up now trying all these in a row, but the Nitiraj smells more like frangipani than Dragon's Blood. Not as sweet as the last one, but still a little too sweet.

The Satya... I don't know what it smells like... something from Bath and Body Works. I know I said it should be sweeter in the last post but not this sweet. It's not terrible but it's definitely not Dragon's Blood. This gets relegated to the "kill the cat poop smell" pile. (Yes, that exists).

Next up is the "Ancient Tibetan" incense. Usually I love Tibetan (usually made in Nepal) style incenses but... it's smells more burnt wood than resin. It should be sweeter. There's a hint of there but it's overpowered by burnt wood.

So at some point last week I decided to give myself the quest to find the most accurate smelling Dragon's Blood incense. Dragon's blood, if you don't know, is a resin. It refers to several actually, but often the incense you find are a combination of other herbs and resins made to smell like it.

Meanwhile, at the Gallagio…

I bet that purple fel cycle... er... voidcycle... er... the purple one will have to do with the two secrets left unsolved while solving to get Incognitro! Or not! I want it so bad though!

All I’m saying is if you were in a personal relationship with someone as distant and consistently avoidant as Democratic leadership, all your friends, your therapists, and your spiritual teachers would be begging you to break up with them.

Entertaining AND informative!

1- Whoever wrote this ABSOLUTELY has a twitter. 2- Very topical and timely for Americans lol. This is like a yt right wing dickhead disguising themselves as a centrist claiming to be progressive. I got so angry so quickly. 3- Bravo. 2000/10 no notes. Well done. Sensational. Amazing work.

SLOW DOWN! I had to draw this image I had in my head of a pandaren visiting Undermine and things going a bit too fast for him 🐼 #WarcraftArt #undermine #Goblin #Pandaren

Brann new video about the Brann new delves (I'll stop now). Nothing extensive, I just am easily amused with their approach to this. I didn't stream it so there's none of my yapping and wild tangents, but I'm very excited for the new delves. #warcraft youtu.be/YSpQcEutc74?...

My response to this was, "OH SNAP!" This felt good. I loved this. And no, no you don't have to stay and debate anyone not arguing in good faith. WoW teaching lessons in this patch.

COLBERT, on Rep. Al Green’s removal: “Some people questioned why so much muscle was needed to remove an old man with a cane. But it turns out it was for a serious reason. When security searched him, they found that he smuggled in a spine." @latenightercom.bsky.social

Bluesky is a great site but you have to unlearn EVERYTHING Twitter has ever taught you to make it useable. Repost yourself. Interact with others. Use tags. Use feeds. Be kind and find kindness. Comment away. It's really really freeing.

Wow... so no spoilers but let's say as someone who has played an Alliance rogue since Wrath, I'm gut punched. But also, the story leading up to the raid (chapter 4 this week especially) is... extremely relevant right now. #warcraft

I don't know how I slept on this because holy crap I love this series and especially the first two games... but my first question is, can I play the first one and be able to carry over my data to 2, because... we could do that back in the day...and I wanna... www.konami.com/games/suikod...

I mean... yes? But also... works in reverse? Because I REALLY want to kick his butt. I'm putting two gob alts through JUST to kick his butt.

I'm enjoying Undermine a lot! But I also realize that as a NYC native who has navigated Times Square during the holidays numerous times, my tolerance for stimulation may exceed that of the average WoW player. I love it more as my driving improves. Favorite part? It's like home, w/ less corruption 😏.

"I just don't understand how our country is like this now, this has never been who we are." 1/x

And I would lay down my life for both of them!

I finally completed the main quest up to the point where you have to wait until next week. That's not a complaint. It's a minor delay that allows others to catch up who actually bother to read and care about quest text and the plot and hate to have it spoiled weeks in advance. #warcraft

I love when there's a nod toward earlier quests I've completed! In Undermine, I came across Beetix and her cousin Noggle. She had the option to tell her we've met before. We did, way back! You'll need to phase Silithus to pre-sword to see her in retail but she's been there since vanilla. #warcraft

It's taking me forever to get through the main quest, but I learned my lesson streaming on patch day in the past that if I want footage that isn't buggy or has people with giant mounts all over quest givers, I need to record my gameplay and stream once it quiets down. #warcraft
