Description

Tarball's Dadabase

Wiping is like crushing cans all day - soda pressing.

Keep raid spirits high with random dad jokes, demotivational quotes, and memorable guild sayings when things go wrong. What started as a Weak Aura had to evolve into a full addon with Midnight.

Features

  • Multiple Content Types: Dad jokes, demotivational sayings, and guild quotes
  • Flexible Triggers: Automatic on raid/party wipes or personal deaths (works solo too)
  • 1000+ Jokes & Quotes: Massive default library with hundreds of quality content
  • Fully Customizable: Add your own content, delete what you don't like, or reset to defaults
  • Smart Versioning: Your custom additions and deletions persist across updates
  • Sound Effects: Optional audio notification (15 sounds to choose from)
  • Statistics Tracking: See how many jokes each module has told
  • Dynamic Prefixes: 108 randomized adjectives keep messages fresh
  • Global Controls: Master enable/disable with visual feedback
  • Manual Commands: Send jokes to guild chat or party/raid on demand
