It should be traumatized but fuck it. I’m on vacation.

[Steve Esposito @AgitatedStove]

Me, a traumatic WoW fan, seeing Xbox adopt “Mythic” Achievements.

A friend of mine said that making music is the closest to magic we will ever get to in real life. He's right. It's not just about the sound but the experiences that people go through. The urge to make something and release it to the world. There is spirit in that. AI can't do it.

I am not joking when I say this.

Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over.

AI music is now very, very good. You just don't know yet because all AI music circulating today is from ~2-3 generations ago.

Suno v6 pro et al has solved infinite personalized music.

@itsneryssa I need one!

[Steve Esposito @AgitatedStove]

Utter perfection! My favorite piece of art this whole year.

[۟ @MINHxDYNASTY]

one of the best live performances ive ever seen

[Steve Esposito @AgitatedStove]

I have a personal rule where any promotional item sent to me stays with me for at least one year and then I give them to friends.

Selling them is such bad karma.

[Steve Esposito @AgitatedStove]

@TheAndyCortez They really do worship the weakest boys.

Twitter feels more community driven compared to other sites. So please understand that if there is a community sect who are acting in behest of a parasocial relationship, I will never be offended.

I will never take offense by those who wouldn’t say it to my face.

[Steve Esposito @AgitatedStove]

My mind is still there, man.

[Steve Esposito @AgitatedStove]

I’ll say that for retail, apex talents and a few hero talents ruined player agency and doesn’t add much to class fantasy.

WoW Classic should have stopped at WotLK.

[WoW Gold @WoWGoldChain]

What’s your most controversial World of Warcraft opinion?

[Steve Esposito @AgitatedStove]

I must say that I have grown as a person in many ways since the last time I left this site. Specifically that I just don’t let the bastards grind me down.

When you realize they are all just regurgitating the same remarks over and over again, it begins to fade out.

[Steve Esposito @AgitatedStove]

@JayOkayy_ @JakeNoris @TeejAndTaco Who are you?

[Josh Billinson @jbillinson]

I almost never go to Starbucks these days, but when I do it is a surreal experience standing in an empty store and watching the barista make a bunch of drinks for people who are not yet in the store before making yours

[Steve Esposito @AgitatedStove]

@JakeNoris @TeejAndTaco It’s funny because that was 16 years ago. People grow, change, become better people, and mature.

Everyone has that capability to do the very same, and yet they do not as we have seen.

[Steve Esposito @AgitatedStove]

I played so much StarCraft back in these days.

@spaceghost It’s a difficult task because it requires people to have the openness to learn and become more self aware of themselves on top of being okay with a whole arrangement of topics.

It’s a shame that we can’t have these discussions.

[Steve Esposito @AgitatedStove]

“How can you not be excited about baseball?!”

Do you really want me to answer that for you?

[Steve Esposito @AgitatedStove]

@Helexzura If that is the experience they want then fine. Whatever. It's not going to bother me or impact how I feel about a game.

These days, people want more choice. They want to play games their way. Sometimes they get it, other times they do not. I feel bad for devs mostly.

[Steve Esposito @AgitatedStove]

I think all adult websites should end in ".cum"

[Steve Esposito @AgitatedStove]

@Romudeth Oh you just know this is gonna effect someone's stock market value.
