Mental is struggling rn, stress is at an all time high, EUI feature requests are pouring in at an unfathomable rate (avg 1000+ per month), then tonight I find out someone yelled at an EUI support team member cuz they felt their feature request wasn’t being prioritized enough.

I REALLY need people to get some perspective here or I will lose it lol. Bringing any kind of entitlement attitude to a FREE WoW addon is absolute insanity. EllesmereUI has no paywalls, no sponsors, no website ads, no partnerships, and no funding beyond one time donations. CurseForge payouts barely reach $200 a month LOL. I’ve poured every waking moment of mine into this project for 9 months, to the point where I barely have time to stream anymore, which is literally supposed to be my job. Many support team members have taken days off of work just to help with support during intense times.

So when someone comes in feeling entitled to a feature they want (usually something super niche that they try to say everyone needs) and gets pissed at a support team member over it, it’s incredibly fucked.

EUI will always remain completely free and unpaywalled, but in return I need patience and understanding for both myself and my support staff. With thousands of requests and reports coming in every month, some things are inevitably going to get missed, and many feature requests won’t be implemented. That’s just the reality of maintaining a project of this size with the time and resources available.

Finally, just remember that every single person helping with support is a volunteer giving up their own free time to help this community. They don’t get paid, they don’t owe anyone anything, and they absolutely do not deserve to be yelled at because someone’s feature request hasn’t been addressed.

It’s honestly ridiculous that this even needs to be said.

TLDR: Don’t ever yell at EUI staff members, and don’t act entitled over a FREE WoW addon. Just basic human decency please, be kind

@Pastuleo23 @Destiny2Team In the GM conquest: disgraced, I was having good luck with a midnight coup with kinetic tremors. Once that procs , the shield goes poof in 2-3 hits if I remember right - been a few days since I’ve done it.

@HeyAnora I love Vesper’s Host. It was the very first dungeon I ever did solo flawless. Thank you! 🙏

@AIna_artmusic Tidus makes me wish for an FFX-2 Yuna!

I wonder if Xur's inventory this week is intentional?

If you read the flavor texts of the exotics and catalysts featured this week (minus Hawkmoon as it's always here), the message is something like:
"Our tools were shoddy, but we made it work (Arbalest). Now, have joy, and sing one last time (Riskrunner). Despite the treachery, the game still stood (Queenbreaker's); and, though we were limited despite having so many great ideas (Borealis), we have hope that the game will live again (Heir Apparent)."

With a little imagination, the legendaries can be read in a similar way (though there is more emphasis on the actual weapon names):
"This is the Nature of the Beast: A Deadpan Delivery when we were eager (flavor text on Seventh Seraph Saw) to keep pushing when the game was doing well. Farewell, we were Duty Bound to be the First in and the Last out. Now, take your place among the company of heroes (Berenger's Memory flavor text) as we face the Abyssal Edge."

Just the message for easier reading:

"Our tools were shoddy, but we made it work. Now, have joy, and sing one last time. Despite the treachery, the game still stood; and, though we were limited despite having so many great ideas, we have hope that the game will live again. This, though, is the Nature of the Beast: A Deadpan Delivery when we were eager to keep pushing when the game was doing well. Farewell, we were Duty Bound to be the First in and the Last out. Now, take your place among the company of heroes as we face the Abyssal Edge."

This is 100% schizoposting, but it was a fun project to take my mind off the impending doom for like 15 minutes.

@Borderlands @NVIDIAGeForce Playing Borderlands 1 with friends, I was Brick. More times than I care to admit, I’d activate Berserk right as combat finished. So while looting, I’m standing there with my fists out yelling at the damn loot chest. #borderlands4rtx Borderlands 4 RTX

Gotta go with the purple.

@A_dmg04 TWID also makes it feel like if you’re not closing in on 400, you have two weeks and half weeks to grind your butt off before things are worse.

@ChristianSelig I apparently never migrated my Pixel Pals from Apollo to the new app. When I try to now, it tells me that I have to update the Pixel Pals app except it’s already updated. I’m guessing out of luck?

@PlayFramePlus Please please please tell me you'll look into this for a Wednesday play-through! https://t.co/UwNM0x4m95

@POTUS @JoeBiden @VP What are you going to do about the Ohio explosion? This happened on your watch. You didn’t step up to protect our railways and now we have this. The American people need to stop paying for this ineptitude. Companies need to fined billions for this.

@DestinyTheGame So, it was never Skynet… it was always you.

@viticci Kinda wish they put a small outline around the text as the color drains to help make the numbers a little more readable.
