Except seasonal content. I wouldn't care about the activities, but there is story stuff that directly continues story of one expansion and also leads into the next. Sometimes it is standalone, but also may or may not end up relevant later.
I was really into Destiny but once I got off that train it felt like I just can't jump back on.
It's very much in the "cool motive, still murder" category. I'm not living in the US but I heard the healthcare horror stories and I can relate to someone just snapping. He who sows wind, reaps the whirlwind.
GW2 is probably one of the best MMOs out there, but it just no longer grabs me as it used to. I play sometimes, but in bursts. As soon as I run out of story content, I just fall off.
Lately I've played Corepunk and quite enjoyed it but it has ways to go still. And the servers are down for like a week now due to tech issues.
Last MMO that really grabed me long term in the last fee years was New World, but I feel the devs just don't know what game they want. And there was huge content drought with them focusing on launching console version. I'm playing with an idea of getting the expac and make a leap of faith that it has a future because I'd really love that.
Also keeping my eye on Soulframe. It's (or is supposed to be) a MMO lite but it looks like something that could definitely scratch an itch for me. Still in pre-alpha but I like what they are aiming for and it already plays quite well.
I'm not aware of an instance when media like movies or games would grow in price in time (except for on second hand market due to scarcity). So could be worded so the price might not be higher than on the time of the release or something
You know I was reading this too, but you actually need some sort of launcher like Lutris or Heroic launcher which comes with Wine and does some setting up. Possible to run just purely through Wine (I did this at start) but the results are... not that great. Though might depend on the game.
Had Christian upbringing since I remember, so would consider myself Christian most of my life, was a real firm believer for more than a few years as well. Was in my late 20s when I really starting poking on those believes critically and it just crumbled. I still believed there is something more. Weirdly, I didn't really deny the possible existence of Christian god - I just refused him.
I was in this weird limbo for years - not an antheist, not Christian, not really religious but believing there is something more on spiritual level but didn't do anything with it because I couldn't identify it. Kinda afraid of Hell, but also didn't want to suck it up and return to Christianity just out of fear (realized I had quite enough of it as a kid).
Then I randomly read something on modern paganism and something just clicked for me. Looked into it more and it just felt right.
I was never really proud of my nationality. But since yesterday evening I'm actively and fully ashamed of being Slovak. Just disgusting.
