I'd prefer the 17th or 18th since I'm Moving the next weekend!
I'm seeing it when I visit too, so at least we know it's not a strange browser glitch?
Exactly!
I just replayed DA2 the other day, after having stuck to old-old CRPGs for a few weeks, and it's REALLY not that bad. It's a bit wearing in Act 1, but act 2 and 3 are progressively shorter and have progressively less slogging through sidequests, so it's not as noticeable by the end.
And like I said, I'd rather the cookie-cutter dungeons of the base game than the incomprehensible designs of Legacy. (Also why is Legacy so damned BROWN?)
If I recall correctly, the old hightown estates have been there since tevinter times when they were all temples or something, right? If you look at roman architecture from whenever, it's all pretty similarly laid out: as is medieval architecture and so on. Having similar layouts used to be the norm, not the exception.
I think this is true, but honestly, a lot of the places you go are the same place but later in the game, so it makes a certain sense.
Plus I've lived in housing developments where every house had an identical floorplan, except maybe flipped.
Also, comparatively, the level design in Legacy is crappy. Hard to figure out progression, you constantly have to backtrack to finish sidequests, etc. Give me a cookie-cutter mineshaft over having to go back five rooms to finish a stupid side quest any day of the week.
I'd be ALL over this.
I don't see how the majority of usernames would be squatting: my comm's only inactive thus far because I'm only 20% through scraping my tumblr for my fics. Also I'm holding out for a PUBLISHED update to the TOS with the elaboration on pornography, even though it seems to operate much like US obscenity laws which I've been skirting my whole online life using this name.
I imagine I'm not the only person coming from fandom who is of the same opinion/reticence with their personal comm.
That said, if someone comes up with a compelling community that trumps my desire to have the same name I've been using online for over a decade, they can message me through my comm and I'll discuss it with them.
But I think, in the end, one of the bonuses of being in on the beta is sitting on "your" name: since there's a limit on comms, it's not like everyone is going out and making 20-50 personal comms so when this goes gold they can sell them to the highest bidder or something.
I think an important thing to keep in mind is that not everyone is going to use a social site the way you might use one. We all came here with different goals, and there are pretty good protections in place to ensure that no one is abusing the system.
Ooh, thank you for the recs!
Well I am super glad to see it.
You should consider doing a recs post. I might even contribute! Without self-reccing!! :D
Yeah? Been using it for a decade now.
Yours ain't bad either.
(Glad you made this comm, I"d been hemming and hawing on making one myself, actually.)
Hi! ;)
But did the menu always look like that? The text size doesn't even match my browser zoom: I checked that first.
Huh. Well, the screencap is from trying to post a comment on a different post on this comm, which is where I initially noticed it. I haven't checked a bunch of places, but the menu is definitely way different than it looked when I went to bed at around 2pm EST.
Fail Fandom Anon; there are people posting signed in on the post, though I know there was a vote for it to potentially go anon-only.
Even if that part's not germane, I still can't create new profiles and what used to be a pretty little popup is now kind of ugly and looks like a weird default thing.
Also, the X out properly solution doesn't work on my iPhone. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but this site is almost impossible to use on my phone; it constantly refreshes and opens up non-sensical new tabs, which would not be nearly so frustrating if it weren't for infinite scroll.
I think the problem is one of context. A lot of users are coming from different hubs of online interaction: on tumblr, you would never even consider a repost, since you could just click a button and reblog the old post, with commentary intact: the problem is just that the commentary is hard to follow, un-threaded, and usually non-centralized.
On reddit, on Livejournal, whatever, that functionality doesn't really exist so you have a different approach to things: I'm not really much of a dev guy, but I think that having both options exist make a certain sort of sense. You want to original content and context to be "recyclable" so that new discussions can happen on existent posts, but you ALSO want to be able to share interesting links without dragging along all the baggage of the past.
Think of it not like last years birthday card, but like a paperback book you love to reread. For yourself, the same dogeared copy makes the most sense, you already have the book, and there's no need to re-purchase it. For someone else though, giving them a new copy makes more sense because they don't have the same associations with it as you do.
Does that make any kind of sense?
You should know I'm everywhere ;)
Nah, I've been looking at some of the "tumblr alternatives" for a bit now and this one seemed most promising, so I begged for an invite and here I am!
You know the way to my heart!
