If you want to scratch a similar itch, and have not already, try Guild Wars 2.

It does have microtransactions, but only because they have no subscription fee and they are mostly cosmetic with a few rare exceptions.

It also has no FOMO except cosmetics from certain festivals, which you can also buy in the next year.

It is still the best MMO on the market IMHO, because it values your time and money compared to other games in the genre.

Guild Wars 2 as well. :)

Nice meme but please:

It is not a bad game but guild wars 2 is much more fun to me if you want to compare MMOs altogether.

It also has alot of palm-oil in it so it is another reason to avoid it.

Cause that guy is an alleged pedo. Probably better to not have him in a meme anymore when there are also way better alternatives.

Nice meme but please:

Good meme but pls:

That was a joke Art installation AFAIK a decade back.

Me too. Gives you the farts and they taste like copper. My mum used to put it in everything and i always disliked it. Since cook at home i never use them in and never will.

Ah well afaik there is no such thing but i started looking for hashtags of my hobbies and found some nice profiles.

After you follow a few of them you can look into the recommended tab and will see quite a few similar people.

Someone here also told me about LisaMelton. She will throw many cool things into your timeline if you follow her.

Im an idiotic old man who can barely repair my PC anymore and it was very easy to make an account here and on mastodon. Dunno what people are on about.

There is a discover people feature on my app at least.

I also kind of like it not to be bombarded with a useless algorithm just so i can doomscroll more. If you curate your feed with nice people and hashtags you get lots of traffic and if that gets too much you just make lists of topics within them.

It started long before. I remember boycotting d3 when the auction house came out and i stopped wow a decade ago because you are paying monthly for a savegame plus microtransactions.

I can buy way better indie games for that price or keep playing guild wars 2 which has no sub.

Love to see this article by steve. If you like that sort of humor check out RegularFeatures. He is one of the people appearing in that comedy podcast.

Please try guild wars 2 with your wife if you have not already. It is brilliant with a partner.

Nice meme but please.

Nice meme but pls

Speaking of linus. Why are they still not on the fediverse? They should have their own instance and everything. Would create a lot of content for them.
