Probably part of the run up to the announcement and release of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. In any case, I'm happy to spread the word because a free version of Dragon Age: Origins in the same year DAI was released is how I found the franchise.

For the last several months I reduced my news intake and unfollowed a lot of stress-inducing accounts on social media. I have been happier and more relaxed. Can recommend.

Not true. Also, speaking up on behalf of others is not automatically equal to virtue signalling.

OK, but it's from Science Direct.

I'm sorry to hear you experienced that. I speak out when I see the R word in use like that. Most of the time I get laughed at, sneered at, downvoted, even kicked out of a gaming guild once. Many NT folks don't understand the harm that using a word like that does. I imagine, just like women who go to bat for patriarchy, there are ND folks who haven't figured it out, either. In any case, you're not alone. I'm glad you called it out, even if you were unable to get the name banned or changed. The act of speaking up still matters.

That's something. The silence on NASA's socmed channels yesterday was deafening.

Minion is the standard now. Makes life ever so much easier on Windows. I really hope it works for Linux folks, too!

If you subscribe and get ESO+, you get '...Access to all DLC game packs available in the Crown Store for the duration of membership'. That does not include the latest chapter; right now that's Necrom. There's a new one each year, so you'll be able to play Necrom next year with a membership if you don't want to buy it outright.

They do a good job of making the membership very appealing, I have to say. Increased bank space, double the slots for furnishings in your houses, and a bottomless crafting bag, for ex. But they are not obnoxious about it like, say, Neverwinter Nights is.

 

Been playing this for the last few years. Helped me get through lockdown!

It's been around for long enough that there is absolutely loads of content. I love that there are several different ways to play, too. I love housing and decorating, but there's casual questing, end game content, PVP, crafting... It's fun!

I don't know if we're permitted to post links that that here, so I won't. But if you go to the Epic Games store, it's free through 27 July.

Happy questing!
