Oh No, ‘World of Warcraft’ Is Getting Me Elf-Pilled Again

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-11-05 08:56:42

As someone who has played World of Warcraft on and off for what now qualifies as a significant portion of my life over the last 21 years, I’ve come to learn that there are two things that I deeply appreciate about Blizzard’s long-running fantasy MMO. The first is the way Warcraft has sat with, and handled, the evolution of its world and characters over those two decades as an ongoing entity. Well, that’s not really the first. Because the actual first is that I just really love Warcraft‘s elves.

7 Best Sunrise Alarm Clocks to Snag Before the Fall 2025 Time Change

wired.com Nena Farrell 2025-11-05 12:20:00

The Casper Glow Light is one of the smallest lights I've tested, but it managed to be plenty bright to wake me up in the morning. Not only is this little light incredibly bright, it's also super simple to use with both physical controls and app setup. Within the Casper Glow app—which is unfortunately iOS only—you set up your wake-up time, and the Glow Light will start to brighten 30 minutes before that set time. You can also set how long you want your Glow Light to dim for, which it will use bot
