  • YouTube is axing its ad-free Premium Lite subscription plan - The Verge

  • Oh no sorry. It has creators and users that business model you described afaik. There are some creators on Nebula that are also on YouTube. Nebula is not a program to watch stuff on YouTube

  • Nebula does this. I really like the platform except there aren't comments. Sometimes I like reading the comments on a video

  • Fast-respawning event to farm

    Jump

  • Oh apologies! There are a lot of event chains all over the Orr maps (Southern Tyria). You can most likely run around those maps and constantly find events. The temple meats are chained events as well

  • Fast-respawning event to farm

    Jump

  • Not sure what level of content you're looking for and what reason, but I'll give it a go. The Heart of Thorns maps (apart from Dragon's Stand) all follow the "event chain" model. You can see the tower icons on the map to find where the event currently going is. After you complete a chain, there are normally a few more harder events afterwards. I'm not sure I'd consider them fast if the goal was just number of events. This is also true for the "mini zones" in the SotO maps. There's an event in Thunderhead Peaks (in one of the puzzle rooms) to kill 1 elite that can be spammed over and over again (easy way to finish the Return To achievement)

  • Thoughts on Adventure Guide?

    Jump

  • It really affects new players like you're saying. As a long time player with stacks of XP books, I didn't notice it. I imagine for players who want to get to max ASAP, it's nice. For players who like the grind and want to compete a map before moving on, it might feel a bit strange to level so fast. I think with level scaling, it probably doesn't make too much of a negative for anyone.

  • Totally important question of a jaded veteran's opinion got confirmed. (Spoiler: yes, but.)

    Jump

  • I've enjoyed it so far... Maybe I'm not being as analytical as you, but for $25 I've gotten a lot of enjoyment so far.

  • How did you find a healthy balance between staying informed and not despairing about the world?

    Jump

  • Ya, feed trolling is often the source of a lot of stress and outrage. It's designed that way

  • The ongoing survival of Beehaw may NOT be what you think

    Jump

  • That's awesome!! Thanks mids and Penguin :)

  • How did you find a healthy balance between staying informed and not despairing about the world?

    Jump

  • Disclaimer: living in USA. I used to doom scroll a lot a few years ago... What helped me was initially leaving the feeds (head in the sand as you say), but this was not a good permanent solution. Since then, I have done a few things that have helped (your mileage may vary depending on what you're trying to stay informed about). The first and easiest was to switch how I was getting my news. Now, I will get international news from different country's sources (ie:https://www.helsinkitimes.fi/world-int.html or https://www.channelnewsasia.com/world). I'll swap up which one I go to each day normally. It's interesting seeing world news from different perspectives. If I find a story that is particularly interesting, I'll look more into it. Secondly, I believe it is often more important to be aware of your local news than anything. To that end, I follow quite a few local sources of news. Most are hinted with my interests (urbanist improvements, community meetings, local discord servers), but some are more general. Also, I listen to a few podcasts not aimed at news, but as a queer person consuming queer media I occasionally hear things I didn't know. Promptly, I might look into it more. My motto is if something sounds really crazy, it's probably being misconstrued. You're never going to be informed on everything, but if you want to get less biased news, there are ways. Hope some of this helps in any way

  • Recommendations on getting my wisdom teeth removed

    Jump

  • Not to add to your fears, but wisdom teeth surgery is also where a lot of people first interact with prescription pain medication. Depending on your situation and doctor, you can receive anything from higher strength ibuprofen or Tylenol to Percosets. Try to be mindful of how powerful pain medication is and if you can have someone you trust with you it's even better. Overall, it's not a very scary procedure and you'll be fine :)

  • (USA) Is It Rude To Ask To Bag Your Own Groceries?

    Jump

  • I appreciate all the responses! I think we just need to be firm when asking to bag. Often, there isn't a bagger so my partner will start (he used to work at a Target so he's pretty quick and particular), and an employee will come over and take over even if he insists he would prefer to bag.

  • Thank you for linking this!! I'm so so excited for a return of Zojja! I really hope the story lives up

    Have you ever gotten scammed, package stolen, or been a victim of fraud in any way?

    Jump

  • I've had FedEx deliver my package to a vacant neighborhood home. By the time I went to get the package, it was gone. FedEx did a "thorough" investigation and found that they delivered it correctly. I appealed and never got my money back.

  • Where are all the good stealth games?

    Jump

  • Plus one for Invisible, Inc. It's like XCOM but spies. Such a great game from an awesome developer. One of many of their games that I've got every stream achievement for.

  • With SotO comes the WoW'esque reward system, how do you feel about it?

    Jump

  • Definitely feels like something I'll have to get my hands on before I judge it too much. The fact that they stated there isn't a FOMO mechanic to it is good. As someone who played the previous two WOW expansions, I hope it feels nothing like them.

  • Warhammer’s upcoming fantasy RTS is simple, sleek, and thrilling

    Jump

  • As a lover of RTS games, I am cautiously excited. A friend and I were talking the other day and we came to a realization that might sound mundane. Some of the things we miss about older games (specifically RTS) is that balance is so much more important now that a lot of the time, character and uniqueness get lost. If things aren't as close to perfectly balanced as possible, gamers get real angry. There were some truly unbalanced RTS games that were incredibly fun. Battle for Middle Earth had some great mechanics that were incredibly fun, but I don't many would say those games were balanced lol

  • Fidelity deepens valuation cut for Reddit and Discord

    Jump

  • I didn't know they stuck around if you upgraded. That's awful lol

  • Fidelity deepens valuation cut for Reddit and Discord

    Jump

  • Not OP, but as someone who uses discord every day, I think I can speak to the general criticism. Discord has way more bloat than what is needed by most out of a communications program. They've continued to add "features" that a lot of the user base doesn't really care about, but take up visual space and operating space. Discord Nitro ads are also on the list of criticisms as it's nearly constant. I love having a place to easily interact with communities I care about, but if somehow a less "noisy" alternative came along and everyone I care about moved (lol), I'd change in a heartbeat and uninstall discord.

  • Mint Mobile: Good or Bad?

    Jump

  • Thirding US Mobile. I pay so little each month and the one issue I had, they fixed it, refunded me, and have me a 6 month discount. Top notch experience so far.
