Freak. Works as a Software Engineer for Twitch. As a hobby, spends time helping out MMO-C with database files. Ask if you have questions! P.S. Cats are great!

@Slootbag It's what happens when they don't dedupe on row insertion in database tables. Maybe they should do that in the future.

@WarcraftDevs The new battle pet Ichabod (ID: 3248, encrypted) has too many base stats. It needs to lose 0.3 base stats in order to be fairly distributed.

@SuperTziva This is me playing a recorder in third grade.

[Simca @MMOSimca]

@SuperTziva You won't convince me that you aren't a bird superhero!

[Simca @MMOSimca]

@SuperTziva That's incredible dedication, jeeze. I don't think I could spend 14 hours in the sun for anything.

Interesting QuestCache changes in 10.0. Allows conditional quest text beyond simple variable string replacement. Used mainly in MoP quests (3) to respond to your race. There's a new dev quest that tries to be for both factions at once with different text. https://t.co/bbHrMHuwgo

@SuperTziva FWIW I'm still pretty apathetic because a company like Twitter is a very big thing, and people are apt to go whistleblower if he does anything excessively stupid. Hell, I bet every internal all-hands for the first months will be leaked even if there isn't anything unusual in it.

[Simca @MMOSimca]

Is it just my guild or has the loot system since SL started sucked because every boss just drops 4-5x copies of jewelry and nobody ever gets any weapons/armor they want, just the same necks/rings/cloaks every time. It seems designed without item trading in mind at all.

[Simca @MMOSimca]

@Marlamin @iamvhell False; I'd never see that dialogue because I don't quit Excel.

Bugged attempt: https://t.co/QL2msiJYBC

[Simca @MMOSimca]

@WarcraftDevs On Heroic Artificer Xy'mox, Withering Touch is now being cast during Phase 3 in my guild's fight tonight. It was not cast during Phase 3 last week in my guild's kill: https://t.co/v9FizhFTrI

[Simca @MMOSimca]

And now, this attempt it isn't... Guess it is bugged to happen conditionally on some unknown condition. Possibly timing related? I'll link a parse with the bug after we're done for the night.

@Stiven_SRB On extremely rare occasions (if I am in the middle of a particularly vivid dream and violently woken up by somebody else), I can remember the dream that I was in the process of having when I woke up. Those rare instances are the only dreams I can remember having in over 20 years.

[Simca @MMOSimca]

@Stiven_SRB Antidepressants helped me with this as a side effect. By age 7, I could no longer sleep properly due to horrific, recurring nightmares. I got put on Effexor XR at a very young age (within a couple years of that), and, for me at least, it blocks dream recall completely.

[Simca @MMOSimca]

Any thoughts @Marlamin @bloerwald maybe even @WarcraftDevs lol

[Simca @MMOSimca]

Random thought: seems balance is enough of an issue that you could build out a dedicated team of 10-12 developers for the WoW team as a 'game balance strike team' in the 2-3 months before a major patch and have them write scripting profiles for specs that run on a headless client

Log focused on the ability. Seems to be linked to Soul Flay. Specifically, seems to be cast somehow by the ghosts spawned by that ability before they explode.

[Simca @MMOSimca]

@WarcraftDevs Uhh, in the Dark Inquisitor Xanesh fight, my raid is taking extensive damage from 'Fan of Venomblades'... an ability cast by the third boss in Plaguefall, a Shadowlands dungeon. That's right, a Shadowlands dungeon ability is hitting us for damage in a BFA raid.

[Simca @MMOSimca]

@madcowfred I felt similarly and did similarly today. Well, it was mostly like waking up for an hour, playing some Monster Train, realizing that getting out of bed was a bad decision, then collapsing again. Repeat cycle like four times.
