  1. Yeah! That's actually one of my favorite fun facts. We lost thorn due to German printing presses not having it, so it fell out of fashion. One of my other favorite fun facts about English is the great vowel shift. The k and the g in knight weren't always silent!
  2. That very minor super power is pretty much exactly what I was thinking, hahaha. Cats, obligate carnivores, and their obsession with gnawing on plants cracks me up!
  3. Demonic parsley. Or... well, since cleanliness is next to godliness and cilantro is soap leaf, maybe it's some sadistic angel's parsley. Hi Pascal! I like that your name is the SI unit for pressure. Metric > ye olden units. What's your favorite kind of cheese? If you could explore any planet (with sufficient protective gear, transportation, gear, etc) which would it be? Either real or fictional
  4. Welcome, Niia! SoH as a whole takes a pretty firm stance on the many -isms and I can say from experience that this is probably the only place I've ever really felt 100% comfortable openly being a woman in any online game. I hope, and think, you'll like it here. I love the name of your cat! What kinds of plants do you have? Any favorites? If you could have one really, really minor super power what would it be and how would you use it to greatest effect?
  5. @Foxinsocks Have you ever heard of a podcast called The Bright Sessions? It has a very interesting take on mind reading. Would recommend. ^-^
  6. Welcome, Cheap! If you had infinite time, money, and motivation what hobby would you pick up? What fictional world would you choose to live in of you could? What would you do there?
  7. Welcome, Hepes! What'd you study in school? If you had one extremely minor superpower, what would it be and how would you use it to maximum effect? Aaaand please pay pet tax. 🙃
  8. Hi WogOfDor! Wait, is that right? Nope. Hi Dog! I'm Esta. I tank here and we're currently looking for another main tank so... *hi*. I've a pretty committed prot warrior because I have stubbornness issues. I have mained at least one other class, but those were dark days. In terms of my own background, I started with SoH back in Mop at the end of the first raid tier. Since then, I've raided fairly consistently except for a brief break in the last tier of Legion and first tier of BFA. I've been in some top 100 guilds, with my personal best being a top 14 world kill with The Horsemen. I'd say that my "specialty" is low hour, high achievement raiding. That's the sort of environment that excites me, personally. I've had the pleasure of meeting two particular people who have suited me (as a tank) like peaches and cream. One of those people is our very own Darlantan(who is retired from WoW), the other was my tanking buddy in <LA>. I hope to find another tanking buddy to go into Shawdowlands with. I'm excited to see your app. That said, would you be willing to link some recent raid logs? (These logs will not be used to deny your app, but I am curious). Most of our questions for recruits revolve around get-to-know-you type questions. So prepare yourself for totally irrelevant (but fun, hopefully) questioning! I'll get us started. What do you do for work/major? What thing do you 100% think is true but have no proof of whatsoever? If you could write one new law that *everyone* had to obey, what would it be?
  9. I love pitbulls and that's one cute puppo! I also love Moonlighter! The music, especially, is fantastic. Haven't heard of Undermine or Graveyard Keeper, but I'll have to check those out. I've been playing a ton of Hades lately (when I can). Since you seem to be into at least some roguelikes/lites, I'd highly recommend!
  10. Hi Loler! We're always open to and happy to have casual friends here! I'm Esta and I'm a dedicated prot warrior, so I feel you on your dedication to kitty. So the most obvious question here is what have you been playing lately? Any particular favorites? Any sleeper hit recommendations? What'd you study in college? What's your favorite smell? Have any pets?
  11. Such a cute puppo! I think Dev, Shey, and I can all vouch for your laid back and easygoing nature, too. Haha I'll get you set up on forums with the proper rank and set you up in game and on discord wherever you're free.
  12. Hi Horla! Was out of town for a bit, so I'm sorry for the long response wait! I'll be contacting you tonight to get you set up properly on our discord and get any toons you'd like invited to our guild. We also have a raid tonight at 9pm EST/8pm server time, if you'd like to join.
  13. Whenever you're free, please shoot me a PM on discord (Estarriol#3246) and we'll get you set up as a recruit!
  14. Alrighty, so whenever you're free please shoot me a PM on discord (Estarriol#3246) and we'll get you set up as a recruit!
  15. I love earthy scented things. They can be kind of hard to find, though. I always want to smell like a forest or some nice, dark spices. Or like rain. Rain is good, too. I feel you on the constantly rotating list of favorites. Trying to pin down only one or a few favorites of anything is so hard. There's so much out there to enjoy! Steak is definitely one of those things that is just so satisfying to nail - both from the cooking and eating perspectives. I think all of my favorite things to make are simple foods. They're the ones with good memories attached or just foods that make me feel good. Have you tried any of Ryan Laukat's games? I stan. I would highly recommend "Above and Below" and/or "Near and Far"
  16. It might be a coincidence, but I still advocate for Slayer- based ritual scarification. Also hi! I'm Esta. I raid lead and tank things here. As Mordi has said, we'd be happy to help you get up to speed on anything you need or want. We can always bring you along to at least the reclears of the earlier bosses in raid to help you gear up and I can do plenty of Horrific Visions carries as well.
  17. ALSO we're going to get you set to recruit today, so you'll be able to see more of the forum stuff. Please add me on discord (Estarriol#3246) and I'll send you more info.
  18. I add tanked as a warrior and that was absolutely the highlight of that tier for me. It was my first real step into heroics and it was terrifying, stressful, and totally thrilling. Being on the very edge of disaster and having to hold it for so long really got the blood pumping. Also I agree with Mordi! Frankly, I don't know why there aren't cat pics in here already. The one in this picture is Jiji. Also known as The Shriek, The Screaming Void, and Muffin. My other cat is Thrymr. He's also known as cuddle bear or King Louie.
  19. Well, BotW is available on Wii U, so that could free up your Switch spot! I didn't have many consoles growing up, dooooo I guess that technically makes this easier for me. SNES - The Magical Quest Starring Mickey (we had a ton of Disney games and this one was actually great) GBA - I never had many games for it, so I think I'll go with the pokemon game I borrowed from a friend once. PS1 - FFIX easy PSP - TBH I don't really remember what I had on this system. I remember playing God of War on it so let's go with that. PS2 - Tough choice. I'm tempted to say FFXII or Xenosaga, but I already have a JRPG. I think I'll go with Beyond Good and Evil. Original DS - Rune Factory. Haven't played that game in forever and now I want to go dig up my DS. PS4 - This one is another really tough choice. Horizon Zero Dawn or God of War have quite a bit of content and a world I enjoy. But I think I'm actually going to go with Pyre. If I'm going to be stuck on an island alone, I'm going to need to feel like I have friends and Pyre did that for me when I moved from California to New York. PC - Absolutely Witcher 3. If I can't count PC as a console, then W3 is my PS4 choice. Switch - Since I'm trying to stick with only consoles that I had (and still have, actually) then I'm going with BotW. I really need to play KOTOR and the Mass Effects. >.>
  20. Hi, Kai! Nice to meet you. I should probably have an intro for who I am, but I honestly don't yet. Anyway, the first question of course has to be what games are you excited about right now? Which part of your body would you replace with an improved mechanical version? If you could have an unlimited supply of only one item for the rest of your life, what would you choose?
  21. I've read Beedle, but not the other two books in the Hogwarts library. I should actually finally order those for myself. I think I've looked at them long enough. I'm also super tempted to get the full color illustrated versions of the original series. I keep staring at then at Costco.
  22. I've got some! What's your favorite smell and what does it evoke for you? You were the captain of a space ship crewed by your family members, who mutinied. Why'd they do that? What's one more obscure book series you'd want people to read? Fiction or not.
  23. I'm glad Mordi brought up the Philippine eagle's excellent head poof. Someone had to! I have a couple of friends who had a miniature highland bull for a while. He was adorable and super fluffy. Also my dream home is 100% a hobbit hole. I'm short enough for one >.>
  24. Lemme know when you're on! I'll hop on too
