I am looking for suggestions on hopeful, optimistic science-fiction novels published within the past 20 years. It would be appreciated.

Obviously I don't *actually* belive this.

I do however believe that "All RPGs are about story" is the most dominant form of onetruewayism we see in the hobby today and it's proponents should be treated with the same mocking contempt we treating OSR people whining about new RPG players being "weak"

That it does. It's easily one of my favorite television shows ever. It gets even better in season 2.

An emotional conversation between Supergirl and Lena Luthor comes to an abrupt end because Streaky the Super-Cat is about to commit the sin of murder, from Sophie Campbell's Supergirl #3 (2025)

An emotional conversation between Supergirl and Lena Luthor comes to an abrupt end because Streaky the Super-Cat is about to commit the sin of murder, from Sophie Campbell's Supergirl #3 (2025)

One of my favorite things about Sophie Campbell's very charming Supergirl run is its characterization of Streaky the Super-Cat as being perpetually about two seconds away from committing murder

In that case, welcome back to Paragon City and the Rogue Isles. City of Heroes servers started popping back up in 2019. There are a few out there now.

"FFXIV is only 'difficult' because the classes are needless complex and the raids are bloated with mechanics.  WoW difficulty is more genuine since it's based on gear checks, while FFXIV difficulty is artificial since it's gatekeeped by skill."

the Atlas Park AE building, got Incarnated, did some Hamidon raids and Incarnate trials, and asked, "Is this it?" Then left the game and never came back.

For a while there in 2019, it felt like I kept running into a level 50 Empathy Defender with only their tier 1 attack every ten minutes.

That's been the City of Heroes experience since April 2019, unfortunately. When Homecoming first launched, there were so many (and I do mean *so many*), people who had never played on live and wanted to check the game out to see what all of the hubbub was. They all got PLed to level 50 in (1/2)

There's a small hole in the geometry of the Pocket D tiki lounge ceiling. Use Teleport or Jaunt to get outside of it.

You should try to get outside of the Pocket D map sometime and see what is on top of it.

This whole situation just makes me sad. I've watched the small but extremely vocal PvPers clamor on the Fawkes Discord for an anti-cheat to be added for months, but even one of the Defiance developers said back in May that there would be no point as the game is primarily a PvE game.

Now:

I'm not going to name the game, but I discovered a hidden wiki on the official website for an upcoming video game. The wiki is extremely incomplete... and horrifyingly, it is using WordPress.

WordPress... for a wiki?! Seriously?! Talk about trying to stuff a square peg in a round hole.

In the 1980s, A&W tried to compete with the McDonald's Quarter Pounder by selling a 1/3rd pound burger at a lower cost.  The product failed, because most customers thought that the 1/4th pound was bigger.

This is why I don't argue online.

As someone who has played online games since the mid-1990s, I abhor PvP. Got talked into trying it three times over the decades, and regretted it each time.

Back when DC Dual Force was around, I stuck entirely with its PvE mode.

It took fourteen years, but DC Universe Online now works pretty much perfectly for me on Microsoft Windows thanks to the combination of DXVK, the Lossless Scaling program on Steam, and the 8bitdo Ultimate Mini wired controller.

This is pretty awesome. I remember regularly calling an Impulse BBS centered on comic books back in the mid-to-late 1990s.
