BTW as a bi/pan person, I do still call myself gay. XD I also don't care what people think, I do like the term 'queer' and will use it when I feel like it.

#

With the rainbow visor,yup!

neon hinge
#

I call myself "half gay" (?)

wide cipher
#

AND LITERALLY NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT EVEN ON TUMBLR and it's driving me nuts because we're throwing parties for Tracer and making headcanons about Pharah's dad and ignoring Lucio

#

You don't need to - if you like both, you're all gay.

#

Or if you're like me and you don't care as long as you like the other person and you're attracted to them

#

(which is more like pan)

neon hinge
#

I'm actually pan but it's easier to say bi xD

wide cipher
#

A lot of people still don't understand pan, so yeah, I get that XD

neon hinge
#

Problably the tumblr is because Lucio barely appears in the comic

#

-Only a poster in Tracer's city-

wide cipher
#

But to call yourself only 'half' gay is part of a thing we on tumblr call 'bi erasure' and 'biphobia', you shouldn't have to pretend you're only half a part of the community, you're all a part of it. Etc etc

#

Yeah, I think I might need to do a post. There was even one about the G on Mcree's new skin, but no lucio visor posts anywhere

I used to write Domino over in that place, we had a deadpool once and it was fun since he's canonically attracted to her. XD

They have an odd dynamic since they don't end up coupling up which is fine by me, but they play off each other well

So how would you prepare a turnip so that it didn't taste like gritty sand with more sand on top?

versed pebble
#

slice it like chips, lightly shallow fry in a little veggie oil, then oven cook at 220 for 20/25 mins

#

pull them out, lightly squish with a potato masher so the skin pops a little, then five mins more int eh oven so crispy and fluffly

adds turnips to shopping list for tomorrow

No seasoning?

step 1. dont be american

wide cipher
#

I'm sure you think you're being funny but it's not really coming through :P

#

I'm a daughter of a woman who didn't know how to cook root veggies, she chopped them into cubes and boiled them on thanksgiving, didn't even put any salt in them, and then pureed them into lumpy gritty paste and forced us to eat our helping or we couldn't leave the table

#

I spent 8 thanksgivings dry heaving at 8pm still sitting there. So yeah, it's not funny and has nothing to do with 'being american' :P

#

Plus I'm sure there are plenty of Americans who know what good flavor is, those are the ones who usually make fun of me by taking adobo seasoning to my dinners. lol

versed pebble
#

actually I come from a boil the crap out of them family

#

my nan taught me to be adventurous in cooking, so I paid attention to all the chef's I've known

#

and no, no seasoning during cooking, thats for after

#

when they come out of the oven, a little splash of oil, then the seasoning, then toss vigorously int eh pan

If you would like some good cook books I would suggest. 1 the world of warcraft cookbook, the dr who cookbook freddie prince jr's back in the kitchen cookbook. But if you do freddie prince jr's cook book do so from the link on his twitter at the top on the far left side. Of his bio I used the amazon button then went to amazon smile. So that I could help out the american society prevention of animals. Then registered on freddie prince jr's website and got a bonus recipe. And his favorite kitchen tools the jerky recipe is his mom's recipe. My boyfriend wants me to learn to cook.

also there are a lot of free websites online with plenty of recipes

I wanted to be there in person when they hinted the new expansion

looking trough toys and i find this xD

shy gorge
#

next year
new expansion

#

More like blizzcon 2020

wide cipher
#

They teased Legion a year after WoD launched

#

Expecting a teaser at blizzcon this next year isn't at all a bad expectation

#

I mean hell I know that WoD FELT like it lasted 4 years, but it didn't. XD

steady fossil
#

By next year's Blizzcon we should have had 7.2 and probably 7.3 drop

#

if anything they could do like what they did with Legion and announce it at whatever game con thing they did

wide cipher
#

They did do the first teaser at gamescon

#

but there was TONS of legion info at the blizzcon that year

#

so no, I don't think it's unreasonable at all to expect new information that's exciting and about the new xpack in 2017

#

They may give us a title and a brief video but the meat of the announcement's gonna happen on their turf

steady fossil
#

I'm just mainly thinking, if the story ties in with the next expansion it could spoil a lot if they announce some stuff happening. :p

wide cipher
#

Also? Me and the husband broke it down and you have never waited longer than 26 months for a new xpack, each one has been ROUGHLY 2 years apart

#

Yeah, I guess. That's a good point.

steady fossil
#

It's going to be some time before 7.3 hits live. And some time before anybody completes the Argus content. All we know is "Argus."

wide cipher
#

But he told us argues was 7.3 without spoiling too much, so maybe the teaser will be "ABYSALL" and that's all XD

steady fossil
#

7.2 is speculated to pretty much be during the early summer, pretty much making 7.3 possibly fall. Right before Blizzcon, maybe

wide cipher
#

They'll handle it however they handle it, but I still expect we'll get some kind of 'where is this going, what xpack are we getting next' kind of thing

#

Even if it's like "All we can give you is a title soz fam'

steady fossil
#

I definitely expect a slight something during Blizzcon for sure, I'm not denying that lol

#

I'm just wary on if they'll announce anything at all to begin with as far as what content will be included, etc.

wide cipher
#

Probably more of a 'we're planning to add these systems' instead of talking about any content that might spoil us, yeah

#

Like I remember the first legion panel and it was like, 'here's the cutscene' 'we're giving you artifact weapons but the art is WIP' and 'transmog uprades' XD

#

But then if it's a south seas expack and they tell us we're getting ships, I can see that being a spoiler? So IDK

#

They've always been pretty good about handling it though XD

steady fossil
#

That's more or less what I have in mind. It'd also be massively weird just going back to azeroth to... Deal with the... Pirates... Instead of the legion. Unless we kill the legion for good somehow which would be absolutely ridiculously.

#

Argus is pretty central and all, and it'd be possible to hurt it and whatnot. But sargeras? No way. No.

wide cipher
#

Nah, my husband just keeps lazer focusing on the fact that they keep teasing Azshara and never going DOWN to the abyssal plane to deal with her and he swears the next xpack is going to be dealing with her and the old god down there, he wants south seas so bad

steady fossil
#

That as well

wide cipher
#

And I keep telling him 'you are never getting this, give it up' but I guess we'll see.

steady fossil
#

By killing Helya I think we unleashed Nzoth by the way

wide cipher
#

Also he expected Argus and Space Travel to be 3 xpacks from now, too, and 7.3 kinda broke all of that up

#

So it's like... shrug emoji

#

No idea now, we'll just have to see. Probably the void lords are next? But Nzoth is keeping Azeroth from becoming a Titan so you figure we do need to deal with that. And it may be how we strike at the void lords too

#

i relayed this conversation to the husband he came back with "WELL I KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING HA HA I TOLD YOU"

#

... and I'm like see? didn't I say he had a south seas lazer focus?

#

I'm going to be glad I didn't bet against him someday

steady fossil
#

As far as I know Helja was responsible for binding the old gods to their prisons with her magic

#

Same stuff used on Odyn

#

And I think the same thing used on Nzoth

wide cipher
#

Yeah, they were all bound similar ways

bleak bloom
#

elements

#

she made the elemental planes

wide cipher
#

Ooo.

#

I need to re-read the chronicles

#

Regardless - the old gods were breaking free of their prisons without anyone's help, and Nzoth is still a problem

steady fossil
#

Elementals, not old gods. My bad on that

#

Oh

#

I just reread that .-.

wide cipher
#

so yeah uhm

#

I think I'm gonna owe my husband some money come next november

neon hinge
#

A TL;DR for me?

steady fossil
#

Well there's a lot of speculation what the next expansion will be about (after 7.3 which is pretty much Argus)
Idk how we're going to go from Argus to the south seas, but it could be very possible with all the nzoth azshara hints we've had lately.

#

Azshara and nzoth are both super powerful and could easily both be endbosses to an expansion.

#

The reddit link TL;DR is essentially that killing helya freed odyn and helya was responsible (probably) for imprisoning Nzoth since her magic was used and the basis of the prisons for the elements and other old godd. But the other old gods had titan technology to keep it up while nzoth is unchecked.

TL;DR we fucked Azetroth

So I got my msi gaming laptop the other night the adapter cord. Is wobbly won't fully go in and the laptop says. Plugged in not charging and there is. No way to take the battery out of the laptop. Like the help article said to do. I switched it to balanced which got it charging for a short time. But now it is back to not charging again.

wide cipher
#

That's a common issue with the MSI's, yeah. But you might also want to check that your laptop wasn't set to desktop mode

#

because mine was by default and I had to turn it off

#

But yeah - you can't get into this thing. Not to switch out the keyboard, or put in more hard drives, or anything. And good luck if you ever break anythign on it - I lost my S key 2 October's ago and waited until MARCH for a replacement

#

(my husband had a power cord issue that they did resolve in as quickly as 2 weeks tho, so I think the issue is that the steelseries keyboards are a pain in the arse to replace)

#

But despite all those problems, I wouldn't trade my baby in for anything else, not even a ROG

#

And especially not that overpriced alienware crap

#

... well I say crap but I'm sure they're well built. Just I hate how you're more paying for the name than the hardware.

#

If ROG switched away from 'everything on the accents must always be red' and let me pick my LED color, I'd probably like them more. But they also never offer the hardware I'm looking for for a price that's reasonable. And their keyboards are squishy.

#

I like clicky keyboards

#

(and by lost my s key I mean that it stopped working because the sensor was broken, not that it fell off, 'cause I could have BOUGHT a replacement keyboard on ebay and then salvaged the S to put on my laptop that way xD )

#

one thing to look out for though on the new MSI keyboards is how acidic your sweat is - and I don't mean to be gross, but by the end of march the coating on the newer laptop they ended up giving me had worn off of the a through to the f key, and now my e r and t keys, the g and the h are all missing their paint too XD

#

Along with numbers 1 through 6

#

Highly recommend one of those keyboard covers that have the black keys with the laser cutouts so they match your keys XD

I've noticed that my outlook on these days changed as adulthood set in and you realised that jobs make you work the next day or the day of every single important holiday, which means its hard to celebrate it the way you'd like to

For instance we can't get crazy with the fizzy drinks this year 'cause the husband still has to work the next day XD

And he'll actually STILL be working when the fireworks start since they do them around 8 or so

It is called growing up but that's a lousy attitude about it. The holiday season needs to retain its magic, even for those of us who are older. Especially for us, because it's harder to get us to feel the magic to begin with.

here in america there are lots of places with handicap access, but we're still so callous about it all - people who take the parking spots even though they don't have a permit, people who don't get out of the way, people who treat disabled people like crap, and then we elected someone who made fun of them so I doubt that position is going to change anytime soon =|

#

before my grandmother died she was wheelchair bound and it was hard to take her out when we'd go out to eat because of the way she was treated, especially at buffets

#

we eventually just got a little of everything and showed it to her so she could tell us what she wanted because it was easier than escorting her down the line

Ginger also tends to forget who we are when we leave the house and will hiss at us through the windows. And he hates it when people wear jackets and hats because people were wearing those things when they rescued him from where he was =\

Getting closer to my leg and I made a go. Up the stairs and closed my door cause I. Didn't trust her she clawed at the door and meowed* all night. After the neighbors cat incident when I would close the door. Each night she opened it each night. She would go hissy howly* if I talked to her.

#

No, he made this ninja person on black desert online and their face looks like charicatures of the chinese from the early 1800's and it's awful

#

Tiny, heavily upward slanted eyes and super tilty eyebrows that are waaay above the eye line and he just keeps saying WOW SHE LOOKS SO GOOD I LOVE IT and I'm sitting there going '... yeah... >.>; sure... whatever'

#

Please bear in mind when I say this that I mean that I have no issues with asian looking characters (there are tons of very realistic asian faces in this game), but my problem is that the person he copied the character codes from has put the facial features together in a way that seems kind of bigoted to me and I'm not sure how to say something 'cause he gets upset when I don't like the characters he makes.

#

So it's just awkward

neon hinge

I just go with the default faces and adjust them just a tiny bit in BDO

There's also some new random voice lines during matches, charcters will sometimes state what their new years resolution is

(D.Va for exampmle wants to catch up on her backlog of games, while S:76 hasn't made one in years)

I heard that line from 76 and thought "damn no wonder people ship you and Reaper together"

"You two are so tryhard edgy it hurts"

I'm keeping my fingers crossed we get a canon gay male

onyx sedge
#

During all the whining about Tracer being gay, someone likened it being so unnecessary that it would be like McCree saying "It's High Noon and also I like guys"

#

And Matt Mercer is totally up for recording that line unironically

#

Regardless of how Blizzard chooses to reveal that someone else is gay, if it's not like that, I will be disappointed

strong quail

No but you don't understand

#

There's literally no reason for her to be gay

#

v:

strong quail
#

....I feel kinda insulted by that statement. There's no reason for me to be gay either but that's just who I am

onyx sedge
#

It's a dumb statement, tbh

#

Although, playing the devil's advocate for a moment, you're a person, you're not a character

#

Popping back over to my normal stance, though, yeah, people are just dumb

strong quail
#

The thing about writeing a well rounded charcter though is making the feel like person

onyx sedge
#

This is true

ashen parrot
#

speaking of overwatch, tried the new map

#

round one my entire team left

#

round two, another 5-man premade comes in and we clean house

#

and i got potg and gold damage. fun times

strong quail
#

Hmmm. Yoshi-P, the director of FFXIV has stated his top two games of '16 are Overwatch and WoW

#

I'm not a fan of control point maps honestly

#

I prefer payload, capture or mixed maps

south goblet
#

i uninstalled overwatch

#

fun game but i just dont ever choose it over anything else

strong quail
#

I'm kinda addicted

#

I don't even LIKE shooting games normally

south goblet
#

the only shooters i ever really played was COD but the new ones deviated too far from what i liked

ashen parrot
#

that's about how i feel about overwatch, but i'm about to replace that briefly with a WC3 campaign replay

#

it also helps that I can play characters like junkrat to compensate for my awful aim.

#

Probably would've dropped the game like I did with CS:GO otherwise

#

(actually I dropped CS:GO because of motion sickness issues and theme as well but shrug)

wide cipher
#

The reason for her to be gay is that representation matters, and you won't get it because you're probably not a person who necessarily feels like they need it

#

But for those of us who do need it, this is a huge deal. XD

south goblet
#

nah representation is a bad reason, if you add things into a story or game purely to address issues of the real world that dont exist in that fantasy world (as weve seen so far) then i dont think thats a good reason

#

but doing it because it adds to her character and helps make the cast as a whole feel more real

#

now thats a good reason

#

L)

wide cipher
#

Well no - I'm betting they knew she was gay right when they created her, but that wasn't a good enough reason for some people. Just her being gay because she is. They were all "But why did you need to TELL US? And why did you need to SHOVE YOUR AGENDA IN OUR FACES" - and that's where representation matters, because it's true. It does matter. And she's the face of the game, and she's gay, and it's all good.

#

Her face on the box art tells thousands of girls everywhere that they can be successful and happy and have a good relationship and be accepted everywhere and that they don't just have to hide and hate themselves or think they need to die, like the media showed them last year.

#

So your reasons should have been the only reasons that mattered, but that's just not how it is.

ashen parrot
#

I think either way the outrage in reaction to it was kind of

#

dumb

#

It shows how frustrating it is to have a mature dialogue about the subject.

wide cipher
#

Yeaaaah, I straight up avoided the forums tbh

#

I've seen pictures of the topics posted there and that was enough for me. XD

ashen parrot
#

With that said, I don't think the outrage should be ignored either. There are intelligent ways to bring the concept of diversity into video games.

#

and the problem is, there are a number of them that seemingly sacrifice substance for the sake of diversity (to be fair a good chunk of them are madae independently on RPGMaker). There's also games that have been criticized for a lack of it, like the Witcher 3 for example.

#

With that kind of pushback, there's going to be much butting of heads.

wide cipher
#

Yeah but come on - look at her. just LOOK at her. Look at her character design. The entire gay community was not surprised by this announcement on behalf of the character herself. We were honestly just pleasently surprised they actually announced it and then stood by it.

ashen parrot
#

Eh, I dunno if we should really stereotype it based on looks.

wide cipher
#

I'm basing this on several posts made by people in the community, mind you, including 2 who are actual character designers who would have designed her similarly (things like clipped nails for instance)

ashen parrot
#

Ultimately I don't really mind either way and considering I've just gotten into Overwatch and hardly even gotten into the lore, I can't really say whether or not the choice was arbitrary.

wide cipher
#

They've been saying there were gay people in the game since before release, so I really doubt it was.

ashen parrot
#

Considering it doesn't actually detract from her character, I also wouldn't mind if it was (arbitrary).

#

I've seen some very blatant examples at diversity or a lack thereof in media in general that was actually detracting, so..

wide cipher
#

Eh, someone's sexuality should never detract from their character, why would it?

ashen parrot
#

yeah idk, this one comes off as a nontroversy.

#

that...depends

#

there's definitely a line that can be crossed where it basically becomes propaganda, and that can be said about basically anything from a behavioral standpoint, among other things.

#

To really determine whether that issue exists or not there does need to be a good deal of analysis though.

#

in an ideal world, stuff like sexual orientation or gender or race shouldn't really matter that much.

#

But it does.

#

It matters so much we blatantly forget about class wars, somehow creating some weird barrier of mutual exclusivity.

wide cipher
#

And that gets into other arguments like the 'I don't see color' being actually racist because black people do want you to see their color, etc.

ashen parrot
#

and in that sense, some parts of the left have literally forgotten what empirical leftist beliefs are

wide cipher
#

Admittedly, there is some common ground out there that we do tend to forget abou.

ashen parrot
#

well yes, that's basically a problem produced by the regressive left - the whole idea of calling racism, sexism, etc over...nontroversies, once again.

wide cipher
#

especially when it comes to class, because growing up poor is a thing that LOTS of people have experienced, and that common thread could be used a bit more to bring us together

ashen parrot
#

That would be the idea

#

Too bad we aren't swearing in President Sanders. Jonathon Pie, in some senses, did get it right.

wide cipher
#

Like the whole 'what is actually in this tub of butter' and 'what is actually in this tin of cookies' memes doesn't just apply to people of color. My entire house was 'is this actually butter or is it noodles or possibly tuna casserole and no that's not cookies it's sewing supplies' and if I got any whiter I'd glow in the dark. >.>

ashen parrot
#

That seems more like a complex metaphor than a meme.

wide cipher
#

The meme is 'You know you're Black if you don't know what's in this butter container'.

#

I use quotes because that's direct from tumblr and twitter XD

ashen parrot
#

oh that crap

#

eh people have been making those jokes for years.

wide cipher
#

Right - but instead of that, the dialogue could be 'you know you grew up poor if -'

#

and that would invite everyone from all walks of life to bond over something they all have in common.

ashen parrot
#

too bad we're not there yet

#

red scare is still strong

#

among other things.

#

and yes, the red scare does have a bit to do with it. It's kinda hard to spout anything within the realm of communism without receiving a highly immature, hateful reaction.

wide cipher
#

Well Bernie's plan was socialism not communism, I thought. o.O

ashen parrot
#

Another part of the problem is a deep-seated one of people treating others differently because of classified differences.

#

Socialism technically falls within the realm.

Yes

Do I need haste?

Always Str, haste for dps and survivability, crit for dps

I typically prioritize haste over crit

so str -> Haste -> Crit?

karmic hollow

Generally yes

What about versatility`?

If you're doing "hardcore" stuff like mythic+ and heroic/mythic raiding you might want to look at sims and sites that do the math on that stuff
