Welcome to the Neighborhood!
It's finally time share information on Neighborhoods and Endeavors. (Wait, Endeavors!!?)
P.S. Is it still cool to make a joke about naming my neighborhood "Orc City" or has that already come and gone?

I was going to make a joke about a percent increase in word count but Copilot helpfully told me there were 10,000+ words and while I'm verbose, I'm not THAT bad. Thanks AI!

Happiness. Went in blind on maybe a second date because the art house theater wouldn't do us wrong, right?
Oops. I was laughing. She was mortified. There were no more dates.

Here’s a fun distraction what’s the worst movie you’ve watched on a date? Mine is a tie between “Hidden Colors” and “La La Land.”

I think I've finally made it through all of the initial housing reactions and articles. Took a lot of (additional) notes, kicked off plenty of conversations, and energized the hell out of the team. ❤️🏡

I got to play house (World of Warcraft house, that is) at a recent preview event and I would be lying if I said I wasn't impressed. There's still plenty we don't know about housing overall, but Blizzard is absolutely cooking with the decorating tools. www.gamespot.com/articles/we-...
We Tried WoW's Player Housing, And The Possibilities Already Feel Endless
Even just a few hours was enough to show the power of WoW's upcoming housing-decoration systems, which Blizzard plans on expanding for years to come.

I'm pretty sure I'd pay an unreasonable sum to play this, including the trip to London. Artemis Bridge Simulator on a LAN like 15 years ago has been leading me here...
NEW PEOPLE MAKE GAMES VIDEO! 😅 I've having a big week
In London there's a $4,000,000 immersive starship simulator. If anyone would like to see what I'd be like as a sci-fi captain, as of today that is now (tragically) on the record www.youtube.com/watch?v=UROM...
