Thank you @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com for adding bearded vultures to Azeroth! Every real-world endangered/threatened species that gets recognition in this game acts as an ambassador for real-world animals everywhere. I've already seen it with people looking up and learning about pangolins!
Man the WoW Shop is officially getting out of hand
Every time someone suggests we are going to have to fight Iridikron, who has never once been inaccurate about the Titans:
Isn't it crazy how the ad for the cute cozy lifestyle content had a cute cozy vibe
Isn't it crazy how the trailer for the dark and dramatic story was dark and dramatic
Isn't it crazy how tone depends on the context in which it's used and isn't indicative of permanent change
Guys isn't it crazy
My brainworms won and I did a stupid TikTok video with Anduin and Genn

I was told I should share my little Pandaren farmhouse pagoda on bsky, so I guess I am! The big doors on the side enter into my stables (I run a vet clinic inside).
It's embarrassing that it's happened multiple times now
Shamelessly reposting this today since Leeroy shows up this patch. Please, let's stop glorifying this because it's an old meme.
In the past 24 hours I have seen people say both Zohran Mamdani and David Mitchell look like @tande.tv
Look I get it they're all terribly handsome men, but they are also all distinctly different men
I typically get pretty angry pushback when I bring this up. I get it. He's a beloved meme and part of our game's history. We don't want to acknowledge the ugly truth. But the truth is staring us right in the face, and for anyone who thinks I'm overreacting, I leave you with this: anfrony.ytmnd.com
And, of course, it all ends with his iconic phrase, "At least I've got chicken!" Which may seem like a quirky non-sequitur, but with all previous context provided, the intent becomes far clearer.
It should be noted also that Schulz uses a stereotypical growling "Blaccent" when speaking for Leeroy, and the original character in the meme had the darkest skin tone possible for characters of that time - a fact that has since been whitewashed by Blizzard's more modern depictions of the character.
There is also, of course, the famous American musician of the same name - while I don't think Leroy was a DIRECT inspiration for Ben Schulz's creation, he was (unsurprisingly) Black: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leroy_J...
For starters, the name. While neither are inherently Black names, they do both share respective notoriety as such, with Leroy being identified as a "Black-sounding name" in the 1920's. "Jenkins" was a popular post-War surname for freed slaves and 40% of Jenkins are Black per last US census.
I hate to not skeet anything for months and then come out of the woodwork to be the biggest bummer on the planet, but I'm really disappointed at Blizzard's continued use of Leeroy Jenkins, who is an obvious and unfortunate caricature and parody of popular American Black stereotypes 🧵
Can @tande.tv please ask Maria Hamilton or somebody for clarification on who exactly came out of the Sunwell? Because I'm already tired of arguing if it's the Arathi or the Silver Hand or guardians of the Light or Army of the Light or--
I can't foresee a future where Lor'themar doesn't at least have a Very Bad Day, but I'll be VERY disappointed if he straight up dies.
I'm ready for this week.
I'm just here to cook Six
We all know if that fight had gone down like it should have, Sylvanas would have been a pile of dust. The absolute disrespect put on Elune and Tyrande, it tilts me to this very day.
Blizzard please don't call it this please I'm begging you please PLEASE
Bro, Clair Obscur, do you wanna chill out a bit?
(Just kidding, please continue to pop off)
Hey @expedition33.bsky.social when are we going to get a Princess Mononoco outfit DLC?
Game of the millennium tbh
Oh my goddd I proposed a very similar idea on my podcast - I'm so glad to see y'all are ten steps ahead as always 😆Thanks for all your hard work, I can't WAIT to see this in action. Lore enjoyers stay winning
@expedition33.bsky.social has sold out of physical copies. You love to see it, folks
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is...
By "little kid," you mean "40 year old man," right? Aragorn, Sam Gamgee, and Uncle Iroh are my permanent male role models
I fear I may be cooking.
