I've honestly never played it before, but you can't beat the price. I always try and pickup the free games on Epic, or whatever they've put up on Prime Gaming. I've got over a 100+ games on Epic now, and I've only bought a couple of those.

Not here to hate or anything, but why ew to Epic?

I appreciate the honesty 😂

That's unfortunate. I'll admit, I treat them like an outcast amongst my PC game shop options. That said, if they give stuff away for free. I'm definitely going to take advantage of it.

It's the D&D DLC that's free

I'm not sure if this is why, but another post here was saying there's been a ton of bot sign-ups for Lemmy: https://kbin.social/m/lemmy@lemmy.ml/t/76632/Almost-90-of-the-accounts-on-lemmy-are-now-bot#comments

This is hilarious if they actually did, but it looks like Elon is just memeing on Zuck since Zuck has been doing martial arts, and Elon was talking about his own technique "the walrus" where he just lays on his opponent. The only time I would feel good about giving either of these two money is to watch them beat the tar out of each other.

Yes, but I think you could keep it cheap/free because you're just polling for top posts once an hour/day/whatever, and not trying to rip every comment from every thread. The free tier API (100 calls/min) would pretty easily cover this per magazine.

/kbin server update - or how the server didn't blow up

Currently, on the main instance, people have created 40191 accounts (+214 marked as deleted). I don't know how many are active because I don't monitor it, but once again, I greet all of you here :) In recent days, the traffic on the website has been overwhelming. It's definitely too much for the basic docker-compose setup,...

Yeah, don't even get me started about all the ads on Wikipedia. /s Servers cost money. Money has to come from somewhere, that doesn't mean ad dollars, but likely donations/grants. Moderation is a given for any public space because people could start posting CP, and I don't think anyone wants that.

I thought that was the whole point of being a mod. /s

Honestly, I posted it mostly to let people know that there was going to be a sale next week. You're right that it's all speculation about what might be on sale. I did get excited at the mention of 40k Boltor being possibly on sale tho. Guess I'll wait until next week to find out.

That's what I do. It works out pretty well. I'd really like to buy from them at some point.

I say leave them to themselves. I tried applying for an account there, and was rejected. I guess they must not be hurting for new members. You have to wonder if they'll run out of people as other communities/magazines continue to grow without them. They might find their own members leaving in favor of those larger communities.

If you just started back, there might be some long queue times while it tries to figure what kind of matchmaking is appropriate for you. This is doubly true if you're queueing with a friend. This is speaking from my experience when I started playing OW2 a few months ago.
