The way I gasped when the first tree I cut down landed on me and HURT :D Hey Bree maybe don't stand there!

Haha, I call it a win/win if you're extracting even more fun out of something you already owned. :D

That kid understood his mission :D

... but legitimately my husband had a stash of those packets, so accurate

I use Inoreader, but SFAIK it requires the paid version to get Twitter feeds in there (and it's often buggy - though less than it used to be). I probably wouldn't bother at all if I didn't need to cover MMO feeds, personally. Most nice studios are also here on Bsky anyhow. :D

I left and locked it so no one could impersonate me (which has happened to me before, hilarious because I am not interesting/important). Funneledl the game news I need to see into RSS. Found everyone I wanted to hang with elsewhere. It's sad, but it's gone. Kept MOP there to post, but not to read.

Tencent announced the acquisition of the company, then a few years after, their PR tried to walk it back and said they didn't own it, only part of it, which was super weird. I am guessing Tencent is the only reason they are still standing at all. But I'm glad they're still going.

I want this for all of us

Haha, you've prepared for a very weird but very fun sandbox experience. I apologize in advance on behalf of all SWG fans for the terrible tutorial. If you can survive through the tutorial, I promise it's better. Eventually. Mostly. :D

I don't think it was just you - we had another reader report the same problem, and we found Mozilla problems through Cloudflare when we were testing ads. If you opened the site during that, it may have cached badly. (But it's still a problem if we use those ads, so it was a useful heads-up to us!)

Heya Kherova! Are you using Firefox by chance?

Whaaaaat, I'm baffled - maybe it was an outage and then a caching issue? I promise we have not been down for three days! We are up now! I will poke around and see what tech says. :D

Oh man I hope it came back up for you! It looks up now! Will check the logs to see what kind of burp happened, that would've been like 3 in the morning for us and the server up in Canada. :D

I am stil fascinated that I am more embarrassed at my scheduling mistake than reeling from the loss of my stock! :D I bet I would feel very differently if I didn't have billions more sitting around. It reminds me of how rich people casually gamble because losses mean nothing. Still pondering it.

2026 mood (not the human - the giant pineapple rolling around on the ground sobbing)

happy new year!

2025 mood:

Best games pr email I got all year. Honestly I just appreciate the brevity and candor. Apparently the game is good too.

One thing I love about the game is that you can play anything and it'll work. No S tier needed. But you'll be perfectly situated with a para or rit, even with the rit nerfs! Also I LOVE the aurene armor! <3

I am eyeing that sale... I keep looking into the distant future of their roadmap and I am seeing an MMO more than I am seeing a survivalbox and I like it. :D

Perfect example of what Tyler was calling out on MOP this weekend - MMOs that mean well but just cannot resist turning the holiday fun into a grind or a gold sink. Really a missed op to shower fans with freebies and boost goodwill. I'm playing GW2 but not playing Wintersday.

@nbrianna.bsky.social got heavy back into GW 1 with this revival. It's so amazing to see the game brimming with people.

Got me thinking.

This time of year is really hard for a lot of us. Playing an old game allows me to feel nostalgia without pain.

That's harder than it should be to find

Hear, hear. This is one of the reasons I really dislike the idea that gaming for nostalgia's sake is bad. Holy crap let people play and sooth their hurts with nostalgia if that's what works for them. I am so glad you're finding a cozy home for the season! <3

Rereading this still hits me like a ton of bricks. Eliot did good work.

Totally, if you can either luck into (or can train yourself) to think "curation" over "collection," it's much easier to be like "nope, not cute enough, easy pass, next!"

Somehow I have already jumped a different toon ahead to Bava Nisos - I'm not sure how I did it! Maybe teleport-to-friend? :D The artists did an AMAZING job, don't get me wrong, but it's so unnerving. <3

Oh that looks way fancier than what we're having. Delish! <3

Yes this! I just want to sit back and drink my eggnog and listen to a podcast or watch a movie and click and be content. Fishing and chill.

I have read people say that eventually you memorize the patterns of the fish panic spasm, but mehhhhhhhhhhh.

Ug yeah. I'm not even sure how exactly I would change it, either. I'm not sure I've ever actually seen a *good* fishing mechanic in an MMO - but I do know I'd rather have boring than annoying. It could be such a relaxing thing, but no.

Oh man I dunno - editorials and reviews are much more expensive to run than news. I'd almost see that as a good sign! :D
