    I feel like the only thing that might be even remotely be a mark against you is if it really was as quick turn as your post makes it seem. Even if it was a deserved ultimatum - if you allow them the option to break the news themselves, I think an allowance of a day or two to form the right way to break it to them might have been better for her current standing with the kids.

    But ultimately - no matter how much time you gave her to prep that speech, it likely wouldn’t have saved enough face for them to feel more cordial in the short term.



  • Prior to ESO, though, Elder Scrolls was a franchise entirely marketed at people who wanted single player RPG experiences.

    Even if it’s still Elder Scrolls content- a good portion of that original market is not going to have interest in a multiplayer experience. Or a subscription experience. Or a”live narrative” experience with gated content windows.

    It’s a very different experience at its core, so while there may be an overlap between the two markets in the Venn Diagram, it’s still a very different market segment than a pure single player outing.



  • To be perfectly honest - I’ll likely stay here for content that typically ends up in large subs. Programming, World News, Politics, Ask _? That’s pretty well covered here.

    But I’d use my third party app of choice to check in on subs that haven’t really taken off here yet. I haven’t had a decent conversation about One Piece yet on this platform. The Colts magazine equally dead. Game specific magazines and conversations are not very active here.















  • This, unfortunately, is true.

    I checked a single thread in /r/technology this morning from the Narwhal app and folks there are in full apathy mode. “it was never going to do anything”, “It actually helped reddit by making other subs discoverable”, etc.

    It’s frustrating to see the level of distaste I have as a 15 year user of reddit and the 3rd party apps they’ve supported doesn’t seem to remotely be reciprocated by that crowd.

    And even on the subreddit discords I’m a part of, none of them seemed to be talking about alternatives or have any enthusiasm for such discussion.
