This news make me excited for two reasons.

First one is, because I heard about the new addon here in the fediverse first, before I even saw the announcement on the official website. Nice to see, that the fediverse, especially its content aggregators at the moment, is growing and some specific gaming content is arriving. :D

And the second one is of course the announcement of the addon itself. Looks pretty nice. Looking forward to the new story and new maps and the skyscale improvements sound nice. And I’m happy to see that legendary armor will be accessible to non raiders. The changes in the weapon system sound interesting, too, but I hope they get the balancing right. I mean, there was a reason that you couldn’t use every weapon of every elite specialization. On the other hand this could lead to some cool new synergies and builds. Not sure though which weapons I’m going to combine with my mesmer main. :D

Yes, thank You, I’ve already subscribed to one of them. :)

Yes, the OP has linked the announcement trailer. :)

Habe dieses Argument eh noch nie verstanden. So gut wie jede größere Stadt hat doch schon jetzt mindestens eine große Fußgänger*innen-Zone und offensichtlich sind die alle alles andere als ausgestorben, ganz im Gegenteil, die Geschäfte dort sind alle bestens besucht. Warum sollte das bei neuen Fußgänger*innen-Zonen daher anders sein?

I think they should at least move away from Twitter entirely.

Guild Wars 2 was welcoming and including LGBTIAQ* folks from the start and has a huge and wonderful LGBTIAQ* community.
And with staying on Twitter they support a platform and its owner who is purposefully supporting and even promoting right wing anti-queer and anti-trans politics (DeSantis) and is explicitly allowing hate against queer people, especially trans folks. And I don’t think this is something ArenaNet wants or should be doing.

Actually, I think this is something nobody should be wanting or doing.

I think at least Gargron / Eugen Rochko is, for a start, happy enough with the big attention his brand is getting and with the growth of Mastodon he’s hoping for. I have the feeling that he wants Mastodon to be recognized as one of the big players. We’ll see what comes next.

Yes that was the point I was trying to make. He is hoping for success and growth of his brand / software no matter at what costs this might come. Also I think it is very naive of him to believe that Mastodon would benefit of a cooperation with meta in the long run.
And in his hope for fame for his brand and his own instance he doesn’t seem to care for smaller instances or the fediverse in general and the other fediverse software.

Ich glaube leider, dass sogar kompetenteren Leuten als Scheuer die Unterscheidung da immer schwerer fällt.

Für kurze Strecken das Fahrrad, vor allem, wenn ich durch den Wald fahren kann.

Für längere Strecken der Zug aus ähnlichen Gründen, wie du es beschreibst. Ich liebe es einfach, mich dort zurücklehnen zu können und mich um nichts kümmern zu müssen. Die vorbeiziehende Landschaft zu beobachten, Podcasts oder Musik zu hören, zu lesen, die Augen zuzumachen… :)

I think it’s also worth mentioning here that, since both pixelfed and mastodon belong to the fediverse, you can follow pixelfed users from mastodon and vice versa and see each others posts. :)
That’s why the whole carrying over the people you follow stuff is a thing.
