If you’ve never tried EQ2 I recommend this as a good time to hop in. You’ll go through the Shattered Lands content and then the first expansion. It’s a great game that has never gotten the attention it deserves. (Anashti Sul requires a sub; but it’s $15 — less than you’d spend at McDonald’s.)
⏰There's still time to join in the Desert of Flames Beta for Anashti Sul! Beta ends on Feb. 10th with the unlock on Feb. 11th! Get to testing what's coming up for the Origins Server! 🎉

Post a photo from 365 days ago and explain it.

I was decorating my aunt's house for the holidays, as is an annual tradition. These handmade Christmas ornaments are part of it. My grandma made trees full of 'em, using beads, sequins, ribbon, glue and pins, for the family over several years.

So about ten years ago I found a small network of bots on Reddit dedicated to spreading hate. The thing about it is that these weren't even responding to political topics - they were just responding to random keywords with insults and hate.

The same bots are now here. You should understand why. 🧵
this is kind of a niche issue but: if you are getting weird and hostile responses that feel a little off, there are some folks on here making accounts that automatically reply to large quantities of posts in a vaguely hostile manner. you can ignore them, and also, it's not personal
