The Talent Trees
Going into Dragonflight, a significant focus was put on the talent system, last iterated on back in Mists of Pandaria. Returning to the good ol' days full of minor pathing nodes and capstones that have significant implications on how the spec is played overall. This was the feature I was the most excited for as the old talent tree began to feel too binary and uninteresting.
However, overhauling a system as large as talents can end up with some less immediately apparent problems that end up rearing their head after playing with them for extended periods. The two main issues plaguing Rogues were that the class tree had too many generic damage talents that directly competed with what should be considered core Rogue utility. Sprint, for example, for years, was given a rank 2 version which lowered the cooldown to 1 minute, which was then put back into the talent tree but directly competed with vital damage nodes such as Lethality and Deeper Stratagem. After two tiers of playing the specs extensively, my takeaway was that my class felt like it got teleported back to Cataclysm, where it just felt like it was always missing out on many of the core quality-of-life buffs other classes got to their utility through the years.

EuroTrip: Looking Back at the Raunchy Comedy 20 Years Later
There is the thought that films resonate more with us based on where we are in our lives at the time we first encounter them. Back in 2004, I thought EuroTrip was incredibly clever and funny, but figured it would age poorly and show its faults more on consecutive re-watches. That was absolutely true, yet I still find myself laughing at this movie, and it may have even been part of the inspiration I needed to import a British wife. For all of the ways this juvenile comedy can be torn apart, EuroTrip still has plenty of frequent flier miles to offer.
