Oh I certainly am. Doesn't really sound too much like my kind of game, but I'd love MMOs to lean more into being virtual worlds so definitely keeping my eyenon it. Very careful optimism with a healthy dose of scepticism.
Visually kinda unimpressive but what they are going for is completely oposite. Seems to be in very early stages so I hope the visuals and animations will be improved on later. But the overall vision sounds too good to be true

Ralph Koster's studio announces a new scifi-fantasy MMORPG, Stars Reach, focused on simulation, world interaction and horizontal progression

And is actively happening. Sadly, most people will choose comfortable lies over hard truths.
If Hungary shows us something, the answer is "not enough"
Looms cool, didn't expect the alts being persistent.
The character statues are great, though would rather dress up uniquely from warderobe and not just do a snapshot. Also a statue efect would be cool, the way they showed it it looks less like statue and more like taxidermy project.
The core developer team of Bandai Namco Online's MMORPG Blue Protocol talk about the game's issues and what they're doing about them.
Whatever you bought and didn't play immediately is gonna be on sale again.
And often with even greater discout. So mny games I bought on sale because of courseI will play them, never did and are now available on sale for fraction of the price I paid
Thanks for the in depth answer! While most of it is lost on me, but the last paragraf is dumbed down just enough to make sense of things.
Thanks. For a second it sounded like there are different "types" of linux that are fundamentally different, but it's just endless chain on what specific OS is based on which specific different OS and some of them are used as a reference point for how stuff feels - I think? :D
What are the differences between Fedora and Debian, since those were used as major reference points?
So for a linux virgin who is planning to jump in - what's the difference between the two groups?
"Nerf" is an opposite to a "buff" in videogame context.
I know it's stupid but /s really should be mandatory if you arennot serious. Because there are too many prople that are
And the parents then wonder why they never hear from their kids and see them only ocassionally when they grow up.
What I heard from my mom all the time was "I'm not your frined!" and now she wonders why I don't want to hang out or just casually call.
I wish you find happines. You deserve it.
How to ease up the return to GW2
I thought I'd try GW2 after years of not playing (last I played was PoE era, bounced off fully before Icebrood saga) and finally managed to get into it!
I used to live and breath this game and while I was not what you'd call "hardcore" player, I knew about everything going on. Now I'm totally in the black which is weird. I try not to get it to me, I just play through the Icebrood saga story now and try my best not to open inventory and achievement tabs etc to not get discouraged. GW2 was always a bit convoluted, but with so much added in the meantime, it's much.
How do you deal with this? What would be your recommendations for me to "ease into it"? What should I engage after getting my groove back in the story? How to dip my toes slowly into buildcrafting? What new systems should I check out?
Bonus question: would you expect the xpacs to go on sale anytime soon? Next one should be around the corner by now, no?
Albion Online European Servers announced
I know many people were waiying for this so thought I'd share.
I don't play Albion much, fresh start might be interesting but not keen on regrinding stuff... How about you?
Any good recommendations for books (or other sources) on pagan traditions and beliefs?
I'd br interested in what you'd consider a good book (or other sources) on various pagan beliefs and traditions that you would recommend.
I'm personally interested in European pagan traditions - be it Norse, Celtic, Germanic, Slavic (bonus points for Slavic!) - but would love to leave the topic open to others as well, just to make it interesting for people with different intrests.
Can someone ELI5 for me how Piped works?
So I mostly transitioned to Piped and ever since I was wondering how it works. I read up on it and while I get what it says, I still don't feel like I really understand...
Does watching on Piped count views and such?
So I considering switching to Piped, but I'm wondering if the views (or other metrics) are counted on Youtube itself. I don't like the idea I'm kinda "robbing" the content creators I enjoy...
I think I know the answer but would like to know for sure.
Anyone has the famous reddit story with the immortal snail?
There was this legendary comment on reddit to a thread asking people what would their plan be if they were immortal and got milion dollars, but there was a superintelligent immortal snail also with milion dollars who would want to kill them. I was trying to find it but as far as I can tell OP removed it. Does anyone here have it and could post it here by any chance?

Any alternatives to Google Photos?
I'm starting my degoogling journey (mostly looking into the various options at hand) and I was wondering what hood alternatives to Goohle Photos is there? I'm specifically wondering about a service that would double both as a cloud storage and a gallery with a timeline and such. But currently it's only cloud storage backup (or Instagtam-likes, which is bot something I want) as far as I can tell?
Wayfinder Early Access Showcase
Twitch is an interactive livestreaming service for content spanning gaming, entertainment, sports, music, and more. There’s something for everyone on Twitch.
Anybody else unreasonably excited for this one?
Looks like a really fun MMO-lite with potential and plans to lean more heavily into MMO elements. Pretty much looks like fantasy Warframe with cream on top. Monetization looks fair as it is published by the same guys that did Warframe and I think they have a good reputation for how they do their monetization.
No wipe after EA ends so this is pretty much early launch, though it will eventually be F2P after official launch.
Actual showcase starts at around 00:30 mark.
Palia Gameplay First Look
Join us for a first look at Palia gameplay featuring host Trisha Hershberger, Game Director Aidan Karabaich, Lead Narrative Designer Olivia Frias, Lead Produ...
Didn't watch it all yet, but looks like Fantasy Sims MMO. Thoughts? Anybody excited? Doesn't seem like my cup of tea, butlooks interesting enough for me to at least try it.
How safe is open source software? What are the general benefits?
So with open source software more on my mind lately I was wondering - while I get the benefits of transparency and such, how safe is it? If the source code is available to all, isn't it easier to breach for people (like the recent cookies hack)? If I'd have an open source password manager, would it be easier for people to get my passwords somehow than if I use something not open source? Do I just not understand how software works in general?
And what are other benefits that may be not so obvious to someone not so knowledgable about this?
Edit: thank you all for really insightful answers! Among other things I also learned just how much I don't know :)
Issue with subscriptions
I'm having some issues with subscription list view when it wouldn't load for me at all moat of the time, I got "null check operator used on null check value" message with a reload option that doesn't do anything? Anybody else having this issue? Any way to fix? I have two accounts logged in if that makes any difference.
