@massivelyop.bsky.social Just now getting to listen to last week's podcast. Glad to hear you're liking Palia Bree. I DLd it again this weekend but haven't really gone back in yet. Regarding Neverwinter, I think in many ways they've killed themselves. Both the lack of publicity, but also other stuff.

I would like to remind people that you can mute specific words for time spans ranging from one day to forever, which I find very useful when dealing when people or things showing up in your timeline get a little overwhelming (or you just f'n hate someone and never want to see mention of them here).
