Where did you find Dr. McNinja? It seems like the official website is down :(

Thanks for the insight! StarCraft 2 is in a similar state (remaining healthy and fun despite the lack of developer support), so that’s a good sign :)

Good to hear! Is it still fun to play?

I burned out because of the constant pressure from battle passes and meta changes, so a more stable meta might not be all that bad.

Oh sorry, I misread the thing about new cards, but the rest holds up!

Thanks! I checked the website, and apparently Ranked is still active enough that the devs are putting effort into new cards, rotations and patches: https://playruneterra.com/en-us/news/game-updates/patch-5-10-notes/

Maybe I’ll try it again before November. Too bad there isn’t an active LoR community on Lemmy.

Is LoR still alive? I used to play it for a few years until I just got tired of CCGs in general, but the Arcane season 2 trailer made me all nostalgic again. Back then (before the Reddit exodus) it seemed like the game would be taken down anytime soon.

I rarely visit Reddit, but when I do, I use Oldlander to make it bearable: https://github.com/OctoNezd/oldlander

Firefox for Android has uBlock Origin (and lots of other useful extensions). You do need to set Firefox as the default app for YouTube links, but after that it works perfectly.

People were sharing all sorts of conspiracy theories about how Bethesda is trying to erase F1, 2 and NV from history before Howard did the interview, like here: https://www.pcgamer.com/movies-tv/in-which-i-mostly-debunk-the-latest-fallout-controversy-that-claims-todd-howard-used-the-fallout-show-to-retcon-non-bethesda-fallout-games/#article-comments

It’s tiresome to see the wrong interpretation repeated, even after they set the story straight.

Personally, I feel they always intended the fall to be the nuking, but someone put the wrong date on the blackboard, and now they’re trying to get the story straight again :P It does allow for some interesting possibilities, though.

The timeline in the show only says “The fall of Shady Sands”. While that was unclear, Howard did explain it, and it’s ridiculous to keep sticking to the whole “they deleted Fallout: New Vegas from canon” theory.

Tod Howard said the nuke fell after F:NV: https://www.ign.com/articles/the-big-fallout-interview-todd-howard-and-jonathan-nolan-answer-our-burning-questions-about-season-1

For me, it will start feeling “right” about 15 minutes after I start studying or working. You need a while to get into it, to get warmed up.

StarCraft 2. No friends, only ladder. Get him practicing now and he’ll be winning RTS tournaments before he’s 20 like Clem.

One of the main reasons I like using Mastodon for work is the fact that it’s completely separate from the large social networks. It’s only used by people who are committed to creating a new, better place. I don’t think users of Threads (or Xitter, for that matter) would have anything to offer for me.

It allows for more precise content filtering. Say you hate Star Trek but you like the people on the Star Trek instance, you can now solve that in one click

Adding an option “Block all users from this instance” would be a good addition, though.

One of the other advantages of LW is that it’s run from the EU and thus has to comply with the GDPR. Given all the shit that Reddit pulled during the exodus, this may have been an additional reason for people to choose LW over one of the North American instances.

I use a Fiio M6 to run Spotify, by downloading playlists through my home wifi before going out. It’s not the cheapest option, but I’ve had it since before the pandemic and it still works like a charm.

The device comes with an app to play MP3s, so that should work easily as well.

There are a lot of Asian female fronted rock bands, like BabyMetal, Lovebites, Gacharic Spin and Asterism. EDIT: also Hanabie.
