"Heart of Mine" The world may take much from a man, yet sometimes grace remains in the small arms around his neck, and in the son who still calls him home. ☀️ #warcraft #bloodelf #sindorei #art

I really do think tech crossed a line at some point between "helping you do the things you want to do" on the one hand, and "helping you do the things tech wants you to do" on the other. At this point, we're all contorting ourselves to live how the tech industry thinks we should be living.

I know it's a little thing, but walking through the city at 2am (as champions do), and seeing the Patroller's lantern illuminating his armour ever so slightly makes such a difference to the game. #WoW #Wowforever

These are genuinely gorgeous and I’ve loved the art I’ve seen passing on my feed from the Xmen series lately. I’m SO out of the loop though, does anyone have a good entry point/place to jump in for the comics?

Today in things that make me proud to be Mayor: PS 889's Hyper Pigmentation became 2-time Minecraft champs at the City's Annual Video Game Festival. Gaming doesn’t have to be a male-dominated industry. NYC is a top recruiter of gaming jobs & we want the next gen of hires to look more like our city.

Such a mixture of old and new architecture here. I always loved the Vortex Pinnacle and Throne of the Four Winds architecture and given they are also in the Skywall, we shouldn't be surprised at the same architecture here on Zephras Isle. #WoW #Warcraft

Two large tower structures, one similar to the floating Vortex Pinnacle dungeon, the more old school building style of towers.

Zephras Isle is much bigger than I thought it would be and although it feels familiar in many ways, it still portrays it's particular aesthetic. Also, the updates to the water, especially waterfalls, makes sitting and taking a little more space to chill really lovely. #WoW #Wowforever

The “prospect” of juniors making good money if they crunch, but the real fact of 6 years of continuous layoffs. Funny that!

A quote from the article below where a CEO claims junior devs might make a bunch of money despite regularly laying off said devs.

Loads of support over the weekend from players too. It’s been fun watching several posters steadily get filled out with messages. The unions have also given away nearly 7000 pin badges featuring the emblems of the different Blizzard units.

Posters for Blizzcon attendees to sign, titled “We stand with Blizzard Devs”

A closeup of the messages, including one that reads “keep inspiring creatives to be paid what their worth” and a warning sign around “AI”.

Another closeup, this time saying “‘Bout time”, referencing the StarCraft quote.

Ofc! I’ve played on a 3070 on a full Quality 10 with no problems. We’ll be looking for bugs and feedback during alpha since we’ll start getting broader edge cases. Our Compat QA team has put this client through its paces on a variety of hardware for us, and we’ll continue to shore up as we find ‘em!

Surprise! WoW Forever will no longer keep you from playing with others in the same region on same type. RPers, I’ll see you there 🫡 I was brought into the team for this one over the last few months to help out, and the love, care and consideration in making this will hopefully feel seamlessly fun.
