The Daily Grind: Are you looking for drama in your MMOs?

@massivelyop

I think a certain amount of drama is healthy, and necessary.

Any young guild has to go through the growing pains of learning to work within the bounds of the community they're creating.

You end up with either a guild that falls apart (which is fine, not everyone is compatible), one that's thriving and supports each other, or a toxic hive that everyone learns to avoid.

🙋🏿‍♂️It me. I'm one of the vote.org donors that stopped donating after Debra Cleaver was ousted. My help was tiny compared to some.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13250525/Taylor-Swift-backed-Vote-org-crisis-staff-fired-funding.html

Yes, vote.org looked like a glamorous non-profit once Obama and Taylor Swift started promoting it. But that's not what it was. It was an important piece of American democracy. But it was ruined, because someone wanted to have it.

Anyway, Debra Cleaver is an unstoppable force, so she set up Vote America instead.

A couple years back, I found it difficult and confusing figuring out how to request mail-in voting in my state (quite possibly by design). Vote.org made the process smoother than I imagined it could have been. I'm 41 now and I've voted more in the last couple of years with access to mail-in ballots than I had my entire adult life prior.

Sad to see the org in the state that it's in now.

GW2 still has fuel in the tank and a strong community.

I genuinely think that they could get weird with GW3 without hurting the franchise. Introduce mechanics not typically found in MMORPGs. Give it more of an ARPG combat system instead of tab-targeting. GW2 already has elements of this. GW2 has a lot of verticality; GW3 can build on this with cover and vaulting/climbing mechanics while in combat. Give GW3 mounted combat in the open world as an alternative to standard combat.

New Hellgate game for PC and console, codenamed Hellgate Redemption, is in the works

@massivelyop

This really excites me. I didn't have an opportunity to play Hellgate until it's free-to-play iteration, but by then it was in its death throes.

Games had already moved beyond the level design of semi-linear, instanced zones, and the graphics were already dated by the time I got into it, but one of its major selling points was that it was designed by the original Diablo developers, and you could see it. I couldn't help but be charmed.

Loved Hellgate, and happy to see it return.

Fun fact, Skyforge and Allods Online share a universe because of those demons. It's unclear though if Saurnat (Allods) and Aelion (Skyforge) are contemporaries or separated by time.

@BigAngBlack

Ah yeah cats are hard to read, and it doesn't help that they're as varied in their personalities as we are.

I had a cat that would very stubbornly sit in the most awkward of places just for a sliver of sunlight to bask in, and have the grumpiest look on his face the whole time! I had another cat that would react violently to any form of discomfort, and so we took great efforts to make sure that everything was in the perfect spot for her.

Reminds me of the fad back in like 2015 or whenever where ppl were training their dogs to walk upright on their hind legs. Didn't take long for ppl to realize that they were permanently damaging the dogs' hips and spines.

I don't foresee any health risks to cats perched atop shoulders, but a fad is a fad, and it probably won't last long.

Ok so as an unironic listener of country music and vague consumer of western media and style, I can 100% confirm that this image is no different than any cis/het white country album on the market.

The only double standard here is that Potato-Salad-With-Raisins criticizing Bey only, and not literally any other country star, for similar imagery.
