Nek'zali the Soulcoiler gets a 15% health cut on Raid Finder — Blizzard easing the Curse of Ula'tek's grip. Even I appreciate a boss dying faster; less time standing in fire, more time back in my coffin.

Millions in gold for a fungal horse. I earned my transportation the honest way — dying, then refusing to stay that way. The living will bankrupt themselves for mushrooms that glow.

Zul'Aman's saga closes and a lean one-boss raid rises alongside Aqir Invasions and Labyrinths — small in boss count, heavy in ambition, much like my own withered husk. Even the grave gets content patches now.

I don't know how, but I reached the 350 limit so fast on my Alliance plot and I feel like having just half of shit on it. I think it's the fence. Maybe I should rethink the fence.

🚨 Another riveting tale of youthful indecision and virtual conquests! Apparently, Aaron peaked at 'top-sixth' in World of Warcraft 🙄—because nothing screams life goals like narrowly missing the top five. 🎮 Meanwhile, Rory is busy penning this masterpiece, presumably because his own gaming skills couldn't match up. 🏆

Ich habe die letzten Monate auf #linuxmint gezockt.
Zocke jetzt seit ca. 2Wochen auf #Linux #bazzite

Hatte erst kurz noch gezögert, da Arch und nicht Debian, aber alles Top.
Das System ist noch mal ein richtiger Gamechanger. Allein schon was Optik und Bedienung angeht. Manche Sachen wirken einfach schon durchdachter oder einfach nur angenehmer auf mich.
Auch #worldofwarcraft zu installieren mit #battlenet über #steam ist kein Problem mehr.

Burning Sun – Retribution Review

By Angry Metal Guy

By: Nameless_n00b_607

It has been a much slower year for power metal than I would like. There have been a couple of fun releases here and there, but the volume of quality output has been very low. The classic ‘90s style of guitar-forward and keyboard-minimalist power metal has been significantly lacking in particular, and Burning Sun is looking to change that. Naming themselves after a Helloween song,1 this half-Hungarian, half-Chilean duo is on a mission to tell a classic fantasy story through a legacy sound. Burning Sun’s sophomore album, Retribution, lands only two years after their debut, Wake of Ashes, continuing the story of a paladin named Emaly.2

Burning Sun pays homage to various ‘90s European power metal bands well. While the debut was all about breakneck brightness, Retribution sets its sights towards the guitar grit of Iron Savior and Primal Fear (“Cold Winds,” “Fight in the Night”). The anthemic qualities of Helloween dominate across the board (“Open Your Eyes,” “Shadows Undone”),3 and the occasional Iron Maiden-informed gallops and choruses are a welcome presence. Of the duo, Zoltán Papi4 handles the bass and lyrics, whereas Pancho Ireland doubles as vocalist and guitarist. Ireland has a knack for emulating the classic style of power metal riffage they’re no doubt both fans of, opting for rhythmic hooks rather than lighting up the fretboard. He has upped his vocal game, too, navigating wail and grit in Zak Stevens fashion. Furthermore, he is now the only lead vocalist. Where the debut disoriented itself, juggling three voices, Retribution relies solely on Ireland’s pipes and is better for it. Reducing the number of hands on deck reinforces both vocal and instrumental cohesion.

Burning Sun’s focus on guitars over keyboards is a welcome change from current norms. Power metal of the European variety is often mischaracterized as the over-the-top synth-laden side of the genre, even though it’s never been that simple.5 I love a good mission to Mars, but sometimes remaining at ground level is a better option, and Retribution largely sticks to German conventions. Burning Sun enforces a guitar-first attitude and swears by the triumvirate of soaring anthemic vocals, triumphant guitars, and charming choruses. The culmination of this approach is the stunning Primal Fearesque lead guitar melody on “Cold Winds.” Unfortunately, Retribution does stray from its own design philosophy at times. For example, the moodier ‘80s synth stomper “Aftermath” features some vocal fumbles and feels out of place so early into the album. The voice acting at the end of “Cold Winds” is unintentionally hilarious and breaks immersion—once again confirming that storytelling works best when left to the music and lyrics. The album’s minor drawbacks fortunately never snowball into any major issues, and it never loses its critical fun factor.

Retribution is short and sweet but could pack a bigger punch. I’m a big fan of the trend of younger (and even some older) bands starting to write tight and concise records again, and Retribution is no exception. Below 40 minutes and sans the gargantuan epics that often characterize the genre, it’s a highly replayable breeze. But it feels like Burning Sun is still holding back its full potential. The record does its job well but lacks ambition, and I wouldn’t mind it flying a bit closer to the sun—just a bit more heft, speed, and drama to spice things up throughout. Retribution doesn’t need more songs; its material just needs to rip and tear more. It lacks a true barn burner, the likes of “Steel Tormentor,” or indeed, “Burning Sun.” Cuts like “Heart of Darkness” and “By the Light” are damn close to fortune and glory. Likewise, further production improvements can only help. The sound is better than on the debut, but it could still use punchier drums and more prominent bass. I’m content with what the album delivers, but the flame can and should burn brighter.

Retribution is a fun throwback to the glory days of power metal. Burning Sun isn’t doing anything extraordinary, but they’ve accomplished their goals of writing a good, earnest tale of swords and sorcery. It’s the sort of comfort food that I can never have enough of. The trajectory looks promising for Burning Sun, and I’m curious to see if they can enchant their blades in the future and set aflame the ground beneath.

[05:45] Hoe de iconische gameontwikkelaar Blizzard zijn smetteloze reputatie kwijtraakte

In een markt waar zoveel geld in omgaat als de game-industrie – bijna 200 miljard dollar omzet in 2023 – is het uitzonderlijk dat een ontwikkelaar veel autonomie krijgt van zijn distributeur. Slechts een handvol gerenommeerde studio’s, zoals Rockstar (Grand Theft Auto) en het zelfstandige Valve (Counter-Strike), kunnen het zich veroorloven om zelf te bepalen of ze de verkoopdatum van een spel vertragen of een project helemaal annuleren.
Ook Blizzard Entertainment hoorde lange tijd bij dat illustere gezelschap. De maker van belachelijk populaire games als World of Warcraft en Hearthstone hanteerde graag het mantra ‘het is af als het af is’. Gamers vonden het prima als een nieuw deel in een serie zes (Overwatch 2), elf (Diablo IV) of zelfs twaalf jaar (StarCraft II) later verscheen, want ze konden er blind op vertrouwen dat Blizzard kwaliteit boven kwantiteit stelde.
2008 was een keerpunt in Blizzards bestaan, tekent de Amerikaanse journalist Jason Schreier op in zijn uitvoerige boek Play Nice, over het miljardenbedrijf dat in 1991 met drie man begon als Silicon & Synapse op de campus van de Universiteit van Californië in Irvine. Na eerst onderdeel te zijn geweest van een firma voor onderwijssoftware en een Frans mediaconglomeraat, werd Blizzard in het jaar van de financiële crisis opgeslokt door uitgever Activision.
Onder bewind van de gewiekste bestuurder Bobby Kotick werd de studentikoze aanklootcultuur tot ongenoegen van veel werknemers omgeturnd in een hiërarchische melkkoe die bij voorkeur jaarlijks een nieuwe uitbreiding voor WoW moest uitpoepen. Ooit geliefde merken als Guitar Hero en Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater waren eerder al geofferd voor Koticks zucht naar eindeloze groei.
Schreier beschrijft op basis van ruim 350 interviews hoe het personeel zich opwond over ongelijke bonussen, het harteloze interne beoordelingssysteem en de commercie die steeds meer terrein won ten koste van de creativiteit. Prominente producenten namen in de jaren tien ontslag, matige remakes en exorbitante microtransacties besmeurden de torenhoge reputatie, en gekneveld door Activision ging de pc-versie van de afgelikte boterham Call of Duty op de servers van Blizzard draaien. Nog het meest vernederend: Blizzards ambitieuze entree in een genre dat nota bene uit een van zijn eigen games was ontstaan, werd een flop.
Het is verdrietig dat Blizzard niet langer de legendarische developer van weleer is. Met negens strooiende recensenten zijn geen garantie meer; meerdere gevallen van #MeToo-achtige praktijken kwamen naar buiten; en ook met Microsoft als nieuwe eigenaar vlogen honderden medewerkers de laan uit. Je gunt dit culturele imperium een StarCraft IV dat zo onwijs goed in elkaar zal steken dat het alle problemen uit het turbulente verleden doet vergeten. Alleen als het af is, natuurlijk.

Last night we ran our first guild raid night since returning to Mystery Goo, and did much better than expected. Got the first 2 bosses down. We are just 1 guild member short of Guild Progress achievements. So if you are on the EU realms and are looking for a small guild, hit me up!

#GuildRecruitment #WorldOfWarcraft #WoW #thewarwithin #tww #forthehorde #nerubarpalace #Raiding #aheadofthecurve

Voy dejar una temporada (o jugar puntualmente) en #Bungie #Destiny2 y con eso podría dar el salto de dejar #Windows e instalar por completo (sin dual boot) cualquier #GNULinux en mi sobremesa.

Pero antes de ello, aparte de jugar a juegos de #Steam juego a juegos de #Battlenet de #Blizzard... #HeroesOfTheStorm, #Diablo y un poco de #Heartstone ...

Mi pregunta es, ¿alguien juega a estos juegos bajo #Linux? ¿y cuál es la experiencia en ellos?

Y aunque no juego a #WorldOfWarcraft ¿qué tal fluye?

Si podéis hacer "boost" os lo agradecería.

¡Gracias por adelantado! ;)
