  • I mean authors don’t see money anytime someone rents an ebook do they? Libraries just need to pay for licenses to the publisher annually from what I’ve read on reddit/Lemmy.

    I can understand renting ebooks so that your library continues to fund a digital library, but if the book is available in paper form that doesn’t really benefit the author either.

  • I guess I can start.

    We double crossed an incredibly powerful wizard in Out of the Abyss. DM did not expect it at all.

    Full Spoilers for Out of the Abyss, which was by and large a not super great adventure, just because the whole first half of the plot was a survival sandbox and then the second half was really interesting but didn’t feel super fun to do a bunch of fetch quests.

  • Fair enough. I seem to recall ME3 multiplayer seeing a fair amount of patches specifically to multiplayer to nerf and buff skills and classes.

    I thought that would qualify it with the DLC and time limited events like double XP and such that happened regularly.

    Compared to games like Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, or literally any random gacha game you can find that would make it seem significantly less like a live service game.

    But I do remember new maps, characters, and modes getting released for ME3 multiplayer at least haha. Support was not as long lasting or as frequent as you might expect for the aforementioned games.

  • I mean Mass Effect 3 had the amazing “live service” of online multiplayer that was an absolute blast.

    So it’s nothing new.

    I believe DA:I had something similar but it wasn’t something I ever did.

    Andromeda has multiplayer too, and it was also really fun but different.

  • What age would you all suggest for reading LOTR to your kids?

    I remember watching the movies when I was around 7 or 8 and the scene with the Urak-Hai hatching freaked me out so bad I didn’t watch the rest of the movies until I was 18.

    universal remote app recommendations?

    My wife and I are constantly struggle with our remotes.

    For whatever reason the AAA batteries in our remotes die within a month of replacing them. I got fed up with it, so we eventually switched from a Google TV to an Apple TV.

    However, the Apple TV remote will not control our TV’s volume or power.

    I have found a few different apps on the iOS App Store that are either not compatible or want us to spend 40 dollars annually for a universal remote.

    I’m not opposed to spending 5-25 for an app, but IAP subscription for 40 annually is too rich for me.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    This is the app my wife prefers, but the free trial expires tomorrow.

    Do any "thickening" products actually work to prevent hair loss/thinning?

    I’ve noticed my hair thinning and hairline receding since I was about 25 or so.

    I’ve been using Collagen and Biotin “thickening” shampoo but never noticed any difference. My dad swears by some pills he started taking.

    What’s Lemmy think? Is he just paying for pills that are placebo effect?

    Why do radio stations all seem to go on commercial at the same time?

    Might be a local thing, but in the US I feel like all the similar radio stations go on commercial break all at the same time. Is this just an iheartradio monopoly thing or is it some odd coincidence due to standard ad deals?

    Final Trailer for Indigo Disk!

    I haven’t grabbed the DLC yet but I am considering it. If you’ve purchased Teal Mask, do you think it’s worth it? I was waiting for reviews to come in for Disk before I bought it.

    I'm looking at buying a sodastream - where can I find good syrups?

    I live in the US, and can only seem to find a variety of soda syrups that ship to Canada here.

    This was my best lead but am looking for sometime similar.
