Banner Contest! Do it! in c/masseffect@lemmy.world
[–] windchime@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I'm no artist, and I doubt my few screenshots would be of interest, given:

The weirder the better, plz.

But I'm curious, why the emphasis on weird? What's wrong with a simple N7 or a classy shot of the Normandy?

Also, in more practical terms - what dimensions does a banner need to be?

Lord of the Rings Online announces River Hobbits, Mariner class, and stat squish (massivelyop.com)
 

What are folks thinking/feeling about the upcoming updates?

I hadn't been planning on rolling up any new characters anytime soon (have way too many alts already!), but the concept art for the River Hobbits sure does look cute...

But I'm more interested in the coming crafting changes, personally. Really hoping for the ability to customise and/or add crafting skills outside of the fixed current professions.

Also cautiously hopeful about the lag fixes seemingly coming this week?! Most of the time lag is a minor irritation rather than a huge issue for me, but around festival time? Especially right now, in Minas Tirith (Midsummer)? Ugh...

Any LOTRO players? in c/lotr@lemmy.ml
[–] windchime@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Another casual LOTRO player here, although I had been getting back into it more recently (until Diablo IV came out...!)

I'll add my vote to see a community for it - there is/was a reasonably active subreddit dedicated to the game, so why not on the threadiverse?

What do people use to track their reading? in c/books@kbin.social
[–] windchime@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I used to use Goodreads, but switched to StoryGraph at the beginning of the year, and haven't looked back. The only time I refer to Goodreads now is when I want to know if a book in a series can be read standalone, since that's often mentioned in their question/answer section for the book, and it saves risking spoilers by reading reviews.

Though that said, I've yet to come across a spoilery review (that wasn't indicated as such) on StoryGraph...

I looked at BookWyrm, and did set up an account on an instance, but I prefer StoryGraph.

ETA: I haven't really looked at the recommendations feature on StoryGraph, so I can't help you with how well that does or doesn't work. My TBR is way too long already...!
