Which wouldn't have necessarily been a death knell, except by the point Microsoft had gotten their eggs into the Windows Phone basket, major platforms had already started shutting down functionality that could be accessed through third party applications so the App Store/Play Store official versions were the clearly superior ways to use the platforms.

In many cases, like with reddit even, third party applications are how many people have preferred to access these platforms, so long as the platform doesn't lock down the API to kneecap them.

Hey dude, Colossal Order and Paradox gave them salmonella, how could you be so callous!

I think the sages are the biggest thing here. The bad guys don't typically do the thing that games like Assassin's Creed bad guys do where your may have a gang of events but they're roughly taking turns coming at you. In TotK, they're just all over you constantly and the most effective way to keep that heat off of yourself is via the sages.

I have two thirds of a name shared with a famous actress. It used to bug me that people would call it out all the time, and for a short period of time I even considered going by my middle name instead of my first name. Around the time I got married and people shifted the third part of the actress's name to a verb I started to warm up to it, and nowadays I mostly consider it a bit of built-in name recognition and mnemonic for people remembering my name.

Geeze, seriously? He also got massive mileage out of denigrating Monica Lewinsky.

I haven't played it but I have read that Diablo 4 has been mostly well received. I guess there's been a fiasco about one of the updates to it, but that's not something unique to Blizzard and theoretically could be fixed in another update, no?

Thanks for posting the link and also for taking the correction in stride and fixing the submission removing the reference to summoningsalt. None of us are perfect and I'm always glad to see people work to conduct ourselves in a dignified, honorable manner.:)

lol you better not be dead in the next month or so!

I think Adium was, or now that I'm looking at Wikipedia became the OSX(as it was named at the time) implementation of Gaim/Pidgin. Was its own thing but started getting Gaim/Pidgin stuff implemented in it. Trillian, I think, was distinct because it was a closed source commercial product whereas the Gaim/Pidgin/Adium has always been an open source free kind of deal.

Fuck yeah! I was just thinking about this the other day. Like a singular mask for all political communities, one for pictures, etc. Almost how Gaim/Pidgin/Adium/Trillion did for the multitude of competing chat programs back in the day.
