Very excited to announce I’ve joined Archon (aka @warcraftlogs) as their Content Director! WCL was the first site I promoted over a decade ago, back when I was brand-new to fansite work and Kihra was running WCL solo. They’ve grown a ton since then and I’m looking forward to supporting all their data-driven tools with cool content and community work! My new email is perculia@archon.gg Happy to continue serving the community and helping you all out in a new form! Ishnu-dal-dieb💜

Published my very first article for @WarcraftLogs today! archon.gg/wow/articles/news/… If you'd like to see any specific types of articles from WCL in the future let me know in the replies and I'll see what I can do! I have some fun data-driven article ideas.

I had the honor and privilege of bringing "Kyle's Gone Missing!" into WoW: Forever. Ezra Chatterton was an enormous WoW fan, the creator and voice actor behind Ahab Wheathoof, and the creator of Kyle. A tear was shed during this one, my friends. Rest in peace, Ezra.

Continuing our Release Notes series, here's September!

Long potentially sappy yap incoming. You know, having worked on this game for last few years I have done a lot of playtesting my own content, internal alpha testing, team playtests, etc. I've probably "played" multiple thousand of hours of WoW: Forever at this point. Since beta launched, I'd been playing it as much as I could, but it was sporadic. I managed to reach 20 on two characters doing that, so it was not an insignificant amount of playtime. However, I often times interrupt myself to go send a slack msg, or fix a bug when I notice things while playing, and it usually turns into work in one way or another after a few hours. But yesterday, I just... played the game for a whole day in the beta. I'm talking 9 or 10 hours. Slack closed, off VPN. I just played. And it was a full day: - I got 4/5 pieces of the Fang set on my druid - Crafted a sweet leather helm for her - Finished leveling my forsaken pally to 20 - Finished up the last of my dungeon quests my warrior - I met a hilarious and very irreverent paladin tank who I ran Wailing Caverns 3 times in a row with to try and get him the cape from Verdan, and me the fang boots from Serpentis (Neither of us got what we wanted) - Did 2 dungeons with some guild members I haven't really spoken to or grouped with in 3 years or so It was a transformative experience for me. I think yesterday was when it is really starting to actually feel real. It wasn't Blizzcon and how crazy that was, the reception to beta, the podcast, or anything like that. It was just "no lifing" the game for 10 hours and wanting more at the end. Honestly, I got a little emotional. It hit me that the team really did it. I mean they DID IT. Yeah there's improvements and fixes to be made still, and there's feedback to act on (and stay tuned, we've got updates coming soon on some big feedback items). But all of that stuff aside, this is going to be a legendary launch, and the Forever team completely blew even my expectations out of the water. I look at each loving detail or small secret, knowing who exactly put that there and thinking how we couldn't have done this without that person. Then I think of the brilliant things that person added that haven't been found or aren't available yet, and I get almost giddy with excitement for them. I said a week or so ago that I thought we had something special here, and we do. I just can't believe the dumb luck that I get to be a part of this moment with such a once-in-a-lifetime team. It's wild. Anyway, rambly sunday morning post. Have fun and be good to each other!

New cat alert! A call from a wildlife sanctuary about a "weird cat" has led to the first new cat species discovered in over 100 years in Bolivia’s Yungas forest ecoregion. Learn more about this feline surprise: on.natgeo.com/JRuaGj

My BlizzCon opening ceremony seat! there’s a lot of feelings associated with opening ceremony first time after layoffs - this was the most stressful but chaotic-fun day of the year running Wowhead - so I wanted to do something radically different. Totally unplug, sit in nature, catch up on announcements at my own pace. I hope all of you watching it live have a blast 💙

Maelstrom party fit💙 It’s wild carrying a normal-size purse to blizzcon events for the first time….ever? Vs lugging around an emergency laptop for PTRs 😹
