Hi, #Mastodon fam. My name is Monika and I just moved in to this neighbourhood a.k.a. server! That said, my #timeline is pretty empty right now, so I would #love to meet new #friends and fill it up with #fun#content. Interact with this post if you play some of these #games...
#therian ( golden retriever ) & #furry ( also golden retriever, plus a few others ). i bark a lot and sometimes i bite :3 i will be posting a lot of thoughts about being both therian & furry.
i read like most people breath, mostly #fantasy & #romance, or as i like to call it, #romantasy. i also read a lot of #queer books. i'm a queer romantasy writer myself, currently working on a novel about a transmasc werewolf & a non-binary vampire that start a polycule full of other supernatural creatures. you can find more about my writing on @fluffypawswrites.
i love all kinds of #art, & i've been trying to get into #knitting & #crocheting of late. i love #drawing & #painting, though i'm not very good at it, but i have fun anyway.
i'm known to be a #kinky lewdposter, however i try to keep to contained to my after dark account, [i will add the link once my ad account has been approved]. feel free to follow me there for more hornyposting.
this is not the first instance i've been on, so you have likely seen me around the fedisphere before, but i'm hoping this will be the last for a long time :Blobhaj_Love:
i'd love to make connections with other trans, queer, autistic, adhd, therian, furry etc folks, so please give this a boost so i can find my people :neofox_flag_trans:
It is fine. It also challenges players to be creative and patient in solving the obstacles to reach places.
It is why, many of us core #GuildWars2 players often recommends for new players to play the core game without gliding and any mounts even if they can unlock it already. This teaches the players how #GW2 works, especially when it comes to jumping puzzles and hard to reach places.
Oftentimes, in Guild Wars 2 at least, maps and puzzles made with flying in mind, were made similarly the way the early maps (without mounts) were made: make it very challenging that will require the player to be creative and fire up all those neurons in their brains.
And gliding is a perfect halfway through full-blown flying (as #WorldOfWarcraft offers). You still have to be creative and use those neurons.
To sideline, GW2 doesn't exactly have a full-blown flying mount like #WoW. The next step in “flying” after gliding, is the Gryphon. It's very fast “gliding” mount. Like gliding, Gryphon mounts work best when you are up high, so you can enable its speed mode (which is technically the fastest in the game).
Then the Skyscale mount is the best flying mount in GW2, which is still not a full-blown flying mount. You can't just fly all you want, you still have to find ways to climb because the Skyscale's stamina is limited. The higher you go, the faster it is consumed, and the less the Skyscale can store.
If #Palia will introduce something similar to GW2's mounts, then gliding is a very good start to practice. Just like in GW2, gliding was the first form of flying before the Gryphon and Skyscale were introduced.
So, yes, it is good to have gliding. It is also a good sign that the devs will not introduce a full-blown flying mount the way WoW did.
I just saw someone post about this new #MMO called #Palia over on BlueSky, which looks kinda sweet and relaxing, I might check it out as a counterweight to my massively modded #Fallout4 replay and #TheLongDark grimness.
Sadly my username was already taken which was a bit of a surprise and letdown. So I’ll have to come up with a new one. https://eldritch.cafe/@Junkiecakes/110956893264333815
One thing that really needs to change about the #Palia Premium Store is the coins. That's a dark pattern method of eking more cash out of one's player base. Using real money to directly buy reasonably priced cosmetics is always a fairer way to raise money for a game.
Nachdem ich meine Karriere in #Palia an den Nagel gehängt habe, habe ich dem Spiel #CoralIsland eine Chance gegeben. Das Spiel ist seit etwa einem Jahr im Early Access auf Steam erhältlich und überzeugt mich wesentlich mehr.
Gerade als Fan von Stardew Valley fühl ich mich auf Coral Island ruckzuck heimisch. Den Ablauf des Spiels und die ersten paar Stunden inklusive Tipps habe ich hier zusammengefasst: https://www.phinphins.de/2023/08/coral-island-tipps-tricks/
