They just re-launched the original Guild Wars today. Also a free update for anyone with the original game, and they've made the expansions just a free part of the package.

Still no other game like it. Not really an MMO, but rather a linear, mission-based action-RPG deckbuilder, with optional bots.

re: lrp, I signed up for a qobuz trial and the library is very robust/easy to transfer from literally any other service

a couple of downsides, though: no ability to create playlist folders, and no way to add an image as your playlist cover art (that second one might be a dealbreaker)

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

As someone who loves finding new music, NTS has really been a godsend this year. I VASTLY prefer having that music curated by human beings with taste

NTS has two "stations" on at any given time, refreshing every 1-2 hours depending on length, and their backlog is robust, tagged, and searchable

Okay I made this thread on the account I'm on most often (the ffxiv one) but I'm putting it here to because I feel like being an NTS advertiser now that spotify wrapped is rearing its stupid head again

this is such a fantastic example of the transformative power of design when used collaboratively and intelligently. the visual design of this campaign is deep-rooted in history and culture and is thoughtful and beautiful
In particular Aneesh Bhoopathy, from the design coop Forge, who designed the identity. A brilliant reminder to *employ human creatives!*

Nothing brought a bigger smile to my face today than talking to an WFP canvasser and hearing “VOTE FOR ZOHRAN” yelled out of a car window as it drove past
