Rift crystals are earned by playing just like the first game. Their only purpose is to hire higher level pawns, but you earn them when people pay for your pawn or you complete their quests. It’s part of the interplay of players exchange pawns.

Recent Capcom games have all done this where it’s a great game and right on release they stuff a bunch of micro transactions in for in-game currency but you would have to be an absolute chud to buy any of it because it’s so trivial to earn.

DMCV did the same thing with trying to sell red orbs, the primary upgrade currency, but if you didn’t see people complain about it online, you wouldn’t even notice it in game.

They are ticking a checkbox for the suits.

Oolimo, the website and phone app is a great resource for me. It lets you enter notes on a fretboard to identify chords.

A reasonable comment in this community? Get out!

When Firefox announced that a ton of their add-ons/extensions were coming to the mobile app, it got me to switch from chrome after almost 15 years.

Unfortunately it’s fully supported by the statistics and multiple large channels have tried to get away from the shitty thumbnails, but those videos get significantly less clicks.

We can hate it, but it works.

It sold 18 million copies within a few months of launch. It worked out immediately.

I voted nearly 3 weeks ago and it was the busiest I’ve ever seen early voting in my area. This election and the horseshit special election a few months ago have stirred people up.

Extra Punctuation was the slower, slightly longer format videos that were more musing about broad industry trends and gaming history. It was great.

The Northman is an excellent film experience. A very unique film and an interesting take on the original tale that Hamlet is based on.

True the base won’t change anytime soon, but those aren’t the people you try to convince to switch. It’s the voters stuck in between.

That may be their plan, but for the first time in my life it feels like nobody is buying that bullshit right now. We have news presenters and reporters actively laughing at Republican representatives when they try to swing the blame, and I feel the public at large understands exactly what’s happening.

I am down for politics returning to being boring.

A little intimidating at first but after finding a decent mobile app (connect) and following a few communities I think I’m getting it. The whole federation and indexing is really interesting to me and eventually I could see myself hosting a small instance.
