I am enjoying it so far! The combat is enjoyable, building is robust and the world does call to you for exploration.

Progress is server wide which is strange. My completing a quest completes it for all other players so you probably want to play on a private server.

It definitely has space to improve but I think the devs have a solid foundation here to build something quite enjoyable.

Currently juggling Enshrouded, Frostpunk, and Remnant 2. Enjoying all of them for very different reasons.

It’s pretty unusual for me since I don’t have as much time to enjoy games as I used to and I tend to remain pretty focused on a single title on my list at a time.

I buy music from 7Digital and Bandcamp, store the files on Plex Media Server and use PlexAmp for playback on my iOS device.

Good for them! Wish more would follow suit!

Exactly. They won’t do it now while their Activision/Blizzard acquisition is under scrutiny but they could easily adopt a new strategy in a few years that restricts purchases through stores Microsoft controls

Hope this trend continues to strengthen over the next few years!

I do wonder how Microsoft buying up basically the entirety of the western game dev world will influence this in the future though

What I don’t get is how he thinks this X idea is original or new. Welcome to the “we want ALL the users” club Elon

The original Blade Runner (1982) didn’t do as well as expected at the box office upon release. I originally thought it lost money but when conducting research for this post I found that it apparently did turn a small profit according to Wikipedia.

Now it’s considered a cult classic and some argue it’s one of the best sci-fi movies ever made and its influence can be felt in many other movies, TV shows, anime/manga, and games.

Here’s a pretty thorough explanation of why this Meta app is dangerous for the Fediverse.

https://fediversereport.com/meta-plans-on-joining-the-fediverse-the-responses/

I’m still trying to wrap my head around Fediverse concepts as well but the thing that stands out for me is that there is a history of private companies effectively killing open source projects.

For us, the vulnerability is ActivityPub. If Meta begins “contributing” to a foundational Fediverse technology, they have the resources to extend the protocol in a way that benefits Meta only, at a pace that only a company with the resources of Meta can.
