Surprisingly complicated feelings. I (Tali) was a London tour guide for years, so I've forgotten more about the Queen than most people will ever know. I've seen how loved she is by people from all over the world. She's a mother, a sister. A human. She seemed nice. I'm sad. But 🧵 2/ she was also the figurehead of an empire and commonwealth that has oppressed millions and caused untold harm. I'm Welsh, and our country has endured generations of genuine cultural genocide in the name of the crown. Our suffering is nothing compared to others

Like all in the UK, still waiting for the 20 Dec release date, but there definitely seem to be:
A) Some serious lore discrepancies
B) Some reinforcing of age-old good old-fashioned WoW racial stereotyping. As in, of the irl races that some WoW races are clearly based on 🧵 2/ WoW has always had the problem that much fantasy shares, that it's humans have a white European culture, whereas its non-human races often draw from irl non-white European cultures. Presenting other cultures as non-human is a cliche, boring and frankly kind of racist... 🧵

Commentbros: Yes Tali very good video HOWEVER I couldn’t help notice the WOMAN did not share her opinion CURIOUS why you didn’t have her speak on this WOMAN ISSUE HMM 🧐 I demand to hear what the woman thinks

1. As half of this channel, I am co-signer of everything on it. Also, 2. MAYBE don’t rely on women to do all the hard work all the time? Listen first, always, but normalise allies using their voices and platforms to call shit out. We need good allies more than ever

Don't know who needs to hear this, but I think the WoW devs are doing some amazing work in Shadowlands. The delays suck, but there's a lot of great stuff in Shadowlands and I think you deserve better than some of the shit you've been getting recently. Ok beer time Also in my time I've met LOADS of people who work on the game in all kinds of capacities, and without exception every single one has been a passionate and whole-hearted WoW fan and nerd with countless hours logged in game. The idea that they don't care is absurd.

Using the "For Teldrssil" cinematic to work out Tyrande's DPS

A thread Image (1) Nathanos's health scales by how many people are attacking him but when he spawns it is 2,656,000. We must assume that in a 1v1 with Tyrande this is what it would be. Image
