Haha I see! well it sure is receiving a lot of praise 😄

GOTY huh? 😄 what makes it so good in your eyes? I'm still on the fence a bit... very french lol

And yes, I am calling the entirety of Tamriel "the place" 😜

ESO shines by simply exploring the world. It is a really rough deal playwise but the place has its moments. 😊

Briefly checked my blog for my last ever WoW post (from 2021, a brief visit to SL) and yep - this is exactly why I left!! 😂 And I kinda doubt removing combat addons will change as much as some players fear. There's so much system bloat and cheapery.

That said, it's worrying to hear them announce their own addons lol.... maybe it would be better to have none.

Yep. it's kinda how I last visited WoW, so many complicated systems and metas and busy-keeping 🙄 I don't think it's wise to build MMO content around the try-hards, it's how Wildstar died. There needs to be a solid medium. WoW was very manageable when I used to play.

Oh I see!
Yea it seems rather late in the game lol... and people are used to their mods! Didn't they also add one button rotation a while back to address simplification/ skill floor?

It certainly won't hurt to wait. So many dumpster fires these days in early access...

Myeah. I was signed up for the EA but after repeatedly reading about the monetisation, heavy grind and it not being solo friendly, I stayed away. Also the term 'second monitor game' is used a lot....

Definitely wait.
Also suggest looking into some of the community feedback because lots of it is quite negative.

ESO? 😆 game is unplayable without addons and pretty much everyone I talk to runs minion. Actually I've never seen an MMO with more game changing addons - I am surprised ZOE allow it.

Blizzard is banning all addons then?

wtf 🤮

YouTube video by John Kirkwood Crumpets, you'll never buy another crumpet from the store.

Oh dear... please don't let it be shite 😬🙏
Momo is an amazing book that a lot more people should know.

My guess is Netflix since Elon Musk has publicly asked his follower base to boycott....

I haven't watched s03 nor will!

Have seen it 👍

YouTube video by Parody Cuts Frodo Watches Amazon's Lord of the Rings Show...

Speaking of which, this is probably the funniest shit I've seen on YT since the shark cat on a Roomba or something 😂 -

youtu.be/8_DzGCW6tTo?...

lol that new Witcher series trailer with Liam Hemsworth...🙈
We're officially on the decline of the golden era of fantasy productions, the clueless freeloaders have arrived.
But hey, we had a great run with LOTR, Potter and GoT (minus s08). I guess those gotta last me for the foreseeable future.

Great rundown 👍

I wonder if Microsoft is going to acquire some of the IPs if they go up... seems like an obvious candidate?

Farewell to Whatever Electronic Arts Was Because, come some point next year, it will be something very different. Electronic Arts has an odd place in my own timeline of video games.  At one point, back when I owned an Apple //e and played…

Exactly! The joys of private equity.

So many people will lose their jobs.

It's crazy this. The son in law of Trump and their Saudi buddies.....eugh

Say goodbye to EA.
