Just another nerd.
My life has been completely overtaken by World of Warcraft. Currently I’m spending all my time on the Stormscale server as Dennett.
Herman Cain was a business executive and 2012 presidential candidate. On July 30, 2020, he died from COVID-19–several weeks after attending a Donald Trump rally.
Even though he died a couple of months ago, someone keeps tweeting from his account about current events, leading someone to post this satirical image in reply.
Someone has uploaded torrents of auction house scans from every World of Warcraft server from October 19, 2016 through June 18, 2019–1.1 teraybes of auction house statistics.
LOL.

“The servers here are awful, just the worst,” said diner Richard Hall to reporters. “They’re sluggish, inattentive, and probably worst of all, they’re just not willing to improve at all.

According to The Blaze, the Venezuelan bolivar has been so devalued that it is now worth less than a single gold piece in World of Warcraft.
Venezuelan resident and Twitter user @KalebPrime first made the discovery July 14 and tweeted at the time that on the Venezuela’s black market — now the most-used method of currency exchange within Venezuela according to NPR — you can get $1 for 8493.97 bolivars. Meanwhile, a “WoW” token, which can be bought for $20 from the in-game auction house, is worth 8385 gold per dollar.
According to The Blaze, this contrasts with May 2017 when–while still heavily devalued–$1 would only net you 279 bolivars.
