I don't know what secret the 6-cyl Camry engine holds, but Lotus has been using them for years.

Thank you for everything, everything you've done for us. Your articles, your podcasts, your vlogs, your work both in the community and with the people who helped guide the community. ...Your insight, your wit, your wisdom of what works for people and what works for you. Your leadership by...

I don't hate on 'em, and I respect that people got creative with the vast range of available consumables. In the midbrackets and higher brackets, consumable use fundamentally alters gameplay in a direction that I don't find fun.

And this time, you won't have to exploit queues to farm levelers! Plot twist, Blizzard's not bifurcating brackets for Cata, so you'll be in 10-19. ...Which might actually make for good games.

I let my sub run out because running into (or with) groups of WotLK twinks consumable-stomping levelers just took the game in a direction I didn't enjoy. Maybe it was luck of the draw, but 90% of the BGs I played in the final month were full of 'em. The good people in Soccer Dads/Teldrassil...

In almost-chronological order: Standing in the WSG flag room at the start of a 39 game in TBC, where multiple levelers freaked out over my gear, having never seen a healer twink before. Drayner eliminating a TwinkInfo guide stolen from my PwnDepot post. He did it sight unseen and no questions...

To answer that, I think we're talking past each other here, based on what you say here: You're saying (if I read you correctly) that while player community influence can make an impact within subcommunities and particular chosen activities (like twinking), that is secondary to the fact that...

Been awhile since I had a good forum dustup. Let's see if I can do better. Am I misreading you here? Of course devs have the power to completely change player behavior through design changes. But that's not the point of yours I contend. Rather, I contend that dev power is not the only...

Looking for the following 29 leather gear: Archer's Bracers of Healing Headhunter's Mitts of Healing Ghostwalker Belt of Healing Have the following 29 gear available for trade: Conjurer's Cinch of Healing (cloth, 12 spellpower) Infiltrator's Pants of Healing (leather, 16 spellpower) Durable Rod...

You keep trying to associate technological control with player control, dismissing the power of consent involved on the player side. Yes, the devs of a game provide parameters by which players participate, and those parameters directly influence how a game works. But that doesn't mean the devs...

+1 to Bop, even for as relatively little time as I spent in 20s arenas. Everyone was extremely tolerant of my ignorance of a class I've played for over a decade. :P While I can't speak to single player games, I can mention numerous multiplayer games that saw player influence creating a...

I didn't pick up an implication that serious competitors needed resilience for harsh criticism. Instead, I took that serious competitors need receptivity to feedback, and coddled feedback doesn't give serious (or aspiring) competitors anything to chew on. With that said... ...meeting someone...

One of my favorite Splatoon 3 Youtubers posted a video about the community impact of casual vs. competitive approaches, what they get wrong about each other, and how both can contribute to community growth when they get things right. While the video draws on his extended high-end Splatoon 3 and...

Talk about lobbing a softball. Resto shaman: for the most versatile healer in the bracket Ele shaman: for the pewpew that nobody expects Enh shaman: because PoD Best rule of 3 in wrath 39s.

A work colleague recently got the Logitech MX Anywhere 3, which includes an "electromagnetic" scroll wheel that feels like it clicks/notches when moved a little bit, and scrolls freely when moved a lot. He received it yesterday, and I'll be daggone, that scroll wheel works as advertised. Some...

When is this thing gonna start rollin?

Good find, Chops. And thank you for provoking a long form response. First some direct notes on the video, and then my take afterward. 11:25 Yes, instrumental play is the dominant mode, but not just through social codes of practice. Blizzard designed a system where PvP and PvE combat implicitly...

At first I got excited because I was like, OG Wintergrasp! Then I remembered I rolled on basically an Alliance-only server, so it's gonna be dungeons for days. Which is prolly more efficient, but gads, I loved Wintergrasp.

Interesting, only the BoAs gotten through Emblems of Heroism are listed as available. The heirlooms I want must have used a different currency, which I vaguely recall. Since the ones I listed all have resilience, maybe the site doesn't include PvP currency options? I don't recall how we got that...

Resto shaman, battle healer build: https://eightyupgrades.com/set/ijANpDNa2ZLU7uqN1cRBiK I couldn't figure out how to add heirlooms, so assume the Aged Pauldrons of the Five Thunders, Blessed Hammer of Grace, and Inherited Insignia of the Alliance will take corresponding slots when those...
