I'm not sure. Similar communities at different instances can have very different rules and vibes. There's a reason people prefer talking politics on Beehaw versus Hexbear.

I like the Kbin solution so far. Leave communities separate but cross-link and deduplicate individual threads from multiple communities in your feed. The implementation at Kbin is still a bit flawed, but the idea is sound.

It's beautiful but does anyone know if it's minifig-scale? It looks too big for that.

But is it no-code so I can fire all my developers?

There's plenty to do outside the latest expansion

If you treat it as a single player game maybe. There are very few players outside the latest expansion. Maybe a few power-levelling alts. Some quests are almost impossible because you're supposed to do them with multiple people and there's nobody around.

I prefer the Elder Scrolls Online way. It has far less power creep and more sideways progression, so people run all content all the time.

They are not hiding that you need a subscription to access the latest expansion. But they don't tell you the rest of the game is dead so you need the latest expansion to do basically anything.

I prefer subscriptions too. I balk at asking full price for a game, and then finding out you need a subscription on top as well.

Remember, that's the third time you have to pay! The first rug pull is when you buy the game and then find out that the entire world is utterly devoid of players because everyone only plays the latest expansion. But you can't access it because you don't have a subscription. On top of a full price game.

Besides the switcheroo, I also think it's sad for WoW. Its world is massive and beautiful and utterly dead. Everyone is only in the latest zone. The game would be better named "Zone of Warcraft". I love how e.g. Elder Scrolls Online solved it. They made all zones viable. You will see players everywhere. It's a real contrast.

The US is a third world country when it comes to healthcare

What's an Ubisoft game doing here?

They are waiving around legalese like they are casting spells

I think many farmers are being played for fools. They are being astroturfed by big agri businesses run by corporate billionaires.

Maybe. I don't think anyone's thought that far ahead yet. At least the lemmy devs give hosters the option to add a click through agreement to the signup page.
