Any recommended brands/models for the pillow? I've never heard of such a thing, but it sounds incredible.

I use a similar question: "What do you like best about working here?" I then follow up that conversation with a second question: "We all know every place has something they could improve on. If you could change one thing about working here, what would it be?"

I've gotten some very interesting answers to that second question. And because it's not phrased as a complete negative - "what would you change" vs. the more common "what do you dislike" - it doesn't put people on the defensive.

I've been using Summit lately and like it so far; the dev is responsive and there are quite a few customization options.

I previously used Sync (now abandoned), Jerboa, and Connect as well. Jerboa didn't seem quite so customizable, but it was a nice and simple UI.

Maybe Valheim? You could turn the settings to peaceful mode if you don't want to deal with combat quite yet - although combat at the beginning isn't super in-depth - but it doesn't have a ton of buttons and the start of the game is a lot of basic "walk around and find things to interact with."

I'm a checklist person, and the free version of ClickUp gives me what I'm after: task status, due date, priority, etc. I've also used Notion and Trello in the past, and they were both fine for their respective purposes (knowledge management and kanban boards, respectively).

As for email, anything that comes in gets left unread in my inbox until it's dealt with, whether that's a reply, an action, or whatever. Once it's dealt with, it gets filed into a folder based on topic (Outlook search isn't super helpful, so the topic breakdown helps).

Yes, people pay $20 to buy a WoW token from the cash shop which then gets sold on the in game auction house. That person gets in game gold (the amount fluctuates), and the person who bought the token from the auction house gets their choice of either $15 of shop balance or 30 days of game time.

Yep! People will buy WoW tokens from the auction house with gold, and they can either redeem the tokens for $15 of shop balance or 30 days of game time. I like making gold in game, so anything I've bought from Blizzard over the last few years (including WoW expansions and other games) has been with gold.

The price of tokens went up by about 100,000 gold after this mount got announced and they were selling out fairly regularly for the rest of the day. It seems to have stabilized now, though.

It's definitely still chugging along, although I will point out that the sub numbers now include not only modern WoW players but also Classic players. If the 7 million number is accurate, that's 7 million across all WoW versions, not just modern WoW.

I know the article says it was published one day ago, but the author must've missed an update or something. The Hildir's Request update in August 2023 also gave us world modifiers; we no longer need a mod to portal metal and other restricted items!

Other than they ongoing payments for games I continue to play (hello, World of Warcraft), most of my money now goes toward games from smaller studios that aren't so expensive. Valheim, Timberborn, and many others are well below $70, and now I get to try games from other creators while still affording the couple of big spenders I enjoy.

Nice! I know there was a Spirit of Competition pet as well that recently became available again via the August 2023 trading post; I wonder if they would leave the tabard as an exclusive now that the pet was brought back around. It's nice that some of the retired items are coming back, but I can also see value in some of the event-based ones remaining unavailable.

New Prime Gaming Loot: Tabard of Fury (worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com)
 

For any transmog collectors who also have Amazon Prime, there’s a new Prime Gaming reward available through December 26 for the Tabard of Fury that was formerly available as a TCG item.

I have no concrete answers, but this was fairly common with the Sync for Reddit app as well. We'd go several months without updates before they'd resume for a while and then drop off again.

I'm relatively confident the same will happen here, so updates will probably return soon^TM .

 

We get a mount this time! If you have Amazon Prime, there’s a new Prime Gaming reward available through November 28 for the Armored Bloodwing mount that was formerly available as a cash shop purchase but was removed from the store several years ago.

The URL for the news article on Blizzard's site is broken at the moment, but Wowhead has the details and I can confirm that the mount can be claimed on Prime Gaming and shows up in-game.

 

The in-game micro holiday is inspired by a charity event hosted every October on Scarlet Crusade-US. People make level 1 gnomes to run from New Tinkertown to Booty Bay, and the funds raised go to support the development of a breast cancer vaccine.

If you've never joined the event, I recommend it! It's always great fun to watch a herd of gnomes dodge murlocs and tigers on their way down to Booty Bay.

 

They may not be the first animal you'd expect to find in this community, but the rubber ducky isopods in SerpaDesign's new video definitely made me say "awww."

New Prime Gaming Loot: Zipao Tiger Pet (worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com)
 

Pet collectors, we get a new (old) pet! If you have Amazon Prime, there’s a new Prime Gaming reward available through October 24 for the Zipao Tiger pet that was formerly available as a Recruit-a-Friend reward.

 

There's a new pirate themed highland drake customization available only during Pirates' Day from Dread Captain DeMeza in Booty Bay for 50k gold. There's nothing to suggest that this won't appear during the holiday next year as well, but the event only lasts for one day.

 

For any transmog collectors who also have Amazon Prime, there’s a new Prime Gaming reward available through September 28 for the Tabard of Brilliance that was formerly available as a TCG item.

 

Is there a setting that will allow me to view upvotes and downvotes as separate numbers rather than one combined score? This is the one setting in Jerboa that I can't seem to find in Sync. Jerboa:

New Prime Gaming Loot: Silver Pig Pet (worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com)
 

For any WoW pet collectors who also have Amazon Prime, there's a new Prime Gaming reward for the silver pig pet that was formerly available as part of the Recruit a Friend program. The promotion runs through August 24, and if you're also a Diablo 4 player there's another promotion ending next week for the Brackish Fetch mount armor.
