ugh ok i know blizzard is a shit company but they just posted an opening for a warcraft lore writer and historian temp position and im a little 👀
#look lol#say what you will about blizzard and warcraft and their various shitty franchises#and they are all unreasonably and irrevocably shitty and im not defending them in any way#but uh#world of warcraft is so fascinating to me in an academic sense bc it was soooo important as a sort of uh#digital culture pioneer#which is part of why its such a shitshow tbh but#it really was one of the sort of early to mid early internet cultures that set the standards for digital etiquette#bc it was such a wild west yknow throwing people together in a social situation where there are few to no established rules or manners#really fundamental for the development of like internet safety and sociality#so like i really would jump at the opportunity to work on a game like that#especially in a temp position and especially in a position where i would be responsible for archiving the lore and history of the world#bc like#that shit really developed in real time via game updates and expansions and stuff right so#you could really trace the way that the lore was developing in conjunction with the development of the wow digital culture#which like#i would kill a man to get that chance lmao#this is uh#not to be a total dork about it but this really is where i feel like if i lived in a fantasy setting#i would be a wizard thats constantly narratively at risk of being corrupted by the pursuit of knowledge lmao#like ill do pretty much anything if it helps me access the information i want or if i think theres an opportunity to learn#like legitimately anything lmao#but like genuinely i do want to become a professor of digital folklore like that is my dream#like i wanna get my phd in folklore and specialize in the study of digital cultures and ethnography#so this would be an incredible opportunity as a means to work towards that goal
