This expansion definitely knows how to push my buttons - or should I say it knows how to make me want to push buttons? Delves, professions and prey, mostly. #WorldofWarcraft https://priestwithacause.blogspot.com/2026/04/more-notes-from-midnight.html12 Apr 2026 21:21 +0000at://did:plc:4zcqg3sqlxt7vwba465cp6fq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjdbtjp6zs2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/shintar.bsky.social/post/3mj3iryxf5c2jBooted off Darth Malgus in the middle of a boss attempt.

I've got so many ideas right now that I just haven't had the time to put onto the page yet. Anyway, here are some second impressions of WoW Midnight from a casual perspective: https://priestwithacause.blogspot.com/2026/03/exploring-midnight-professions-abundance.html16 Mar 2026 22:37 +0000at://did:plc:4zcqg3sqlxt7vwba465cp6fq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mh7jhrxwdk2r
