I didn't check if anything like this existed already, but if you're looking for some cool people to follow that write, talk, investigate or otherwise create content about MMORPG's this starter pack could be for you!

I’ve never played an extraction shooter, all my shooter experience is either destiny 2 or the division but Arc Raiders is looking so tempting to buy.
I’m just afraid I’m not going to enjoy it solo and know nobody that plays it.
Does anyone have opinions on the solo experience?

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

When they called Ned “one of God’s strongest soldiers” I didn’t think Fortnite would take it quite so literal.

I was having a problem with cpu power profile kernel module on my ThinkPad, but since I am using Linux and can fix everything myself, I no longer have this problem as the laptop no longer boots at all.

I just finished reading “Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow” and I feel like I need to take a day off to recover.
My partner couldn’t believe how hard I was crying about 3/4ths of the way in, and assumed I was messing with him.
great novel, I highly recommend it.

Once @blairquynh.bsky.social argued that MMORPGs would fragment into distinct games, each focusing on a specific aspect of the genre. This way, players could engage only with the parts they enjoyed. This game might be the best example of her thesis.
Fellowship is out in early access tomorrow, it's an MMO-lite meets MOBA meets action-RPG.
Imagine you took an MMO and removed nearly everything that wasn't end-game dungeon runs and raids. That's Fellowship.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable
You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

If you’re looking for something to read, that’s also pretty short I highly recommend “Strange Houses”
I downloaded it on my phone last night during a boring family event and pretty much finished it in a single setting.

I just don’t think this story would fit in AC’s gameplay framework in a way that would feel satisfying.
100% would play a game with this story, but would prefer it as a standalone game rather than this franchise.

What is the point of Sora and LLM-generated articles? Flooding the market with cheap, misinformation-filled content?
Competing with human-made content for ad revenue?
We see these companies shift their strategies to maintain their evaluations because the tech isn't delivering on its promises.

Moved all social media apps (Bluesky, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, etc...) to my rarely-used iPad to stop mindlessly scrolling short videos.
Good news: only watched 2 reels today.
Bad news: spent 3 hours arguing with strangers on a forum.

Has anyone here given Bitcraft Online a shot? If so, is it worth the €16,90 or is it just better to wait till it releases into F2P after early access.
