I posted one of these a year ago: time once again

[dorchadas]

NAME: Brian. I have no special attachment to it, but it's my name.
AGE: Thirty-six later this year.
INTERESTS & HOBBIES: Video games, Japanese language & literature, kagura, tea, reading, coding (just started), fashion (mostly monochrome, minimalist, or what gets called "goth ninja"), tabletop RPGs (especially Exalted, Shadowrun, and Call of Cthulhu), cooking and food in general, and occasionally anime (especially iyashikei slice-of-life stuff), work, Judaism, or my hopes, dreams, and fears.
FANDOMS: I don't know if anything applies, since I rarely post about anything fannish. The Legend of Zelda, I guess--I'm playing through all the games in Japanese in release order for practice. Warcraft. Exalted. Tolkien. Kirby (the pink puff, not the comics artist). Lovecraft. I keep most of my fandom stuff over on my Tumblr, though.
LOOKING FOR: The kind of long-form, daily-life-interested community I remember from LJ a decade ago. Twitter is all hot takes, Tumblr is all memes, and Facebook is mostly articles. I like hearing about people's lives--if you only post about your fandoms, I probably won't have much to say.
WHAT DO I POST ABOUT: Mostly about my daily life, Japanese and coding (I'm studying both), and video games (I write a long post every time I beat a game). Sometimes about religion.
ANYTHING ELSE: My journal is mostly (though not entirely) public. I lived in Japan for three years, in a mountain town northeast of Hiroshima City. The personal feature I'm most proud of changes between my hair (long and red) and my voice (I've been told I should do radio or read audiobooks).

It's surprising that Azshara will be a mid expansion raid boss for BfA. I would have thought she would get top billing especially when it seems like we're running out of threats. There's mostly just the Void left after this (and as you say some assortment of [Name] went mad because Space Squids).

There's also the route where the players are threats. We're seeing some of that in the beta. On some of the new islands, players will be confronted by enemies who make a fair point that the player is killing Azeroth by picking at her scabs while she bleeds out.

I'm hoping they tie up the WoW story in maybe one more expansion, open legacy servers for the various expansions, and announce Warcraft 4 or something (a single player RPG would probably be too much to hope for...).

At this point, I think the players being threats make sense. The average WoW character has killed so many dragons, demons, gods, and other beings of power that they themselves are probably on the verge of going crazy so they must be killed.

I've wanted a Warcraft IV for a decade and a half! Whether I'll ever get it...I don't know. RTS games aren't very popular anymore.

I'd say they'd make a MOBA, but Heroes of the Storm already exists.
