To be honest, it wouldn't matter. I'd be too busy enjoying my new primitive survival adventure and quoting lines from the Gold Top commercial. It is the big game.

If I could go back about 20 years?

Disregard cooking, acquire kimchi.

Thanks for waiting, you'll be home soon!

Marvel's Legion, aka David Haller, son of Professor Charles Xavier. Omega-level mutant. Psychic powers that go beyond time and space, astral projection, teleportation, reality warping, mind controlling, pyrokinesis, et cetera. If you could keep your head in check (did I mention it also comes with disassociative identity disorder?), taking down Thanos with a completed Infinity Gauntlet would be a mere trifle.

None taken. I'm advocating for introspection, as in, why did they come here and ask the question in the first place? Why not just seek out a like-minded community? So, how can one possibly get directions from another when they don't know where they want to go? At that point, any direction is valid.

From a metaphysical point of view, you and the rest of existence are reflections of each other, thus, the rest of the existence is not separate from you and is a part of yourself, for without it, you would not be who you are now, nor would it be what it is without you.

Knowing this, we can look at Plato's allegory of the cave. Staying inside restricts you to a limited view of yourself, and an online one is even more limiting because it reflects a distorted truth from others suffering the same fate. How can you possibly know who you are from such a limited scope?

Temet nosce. It means "know thyself". You should do everything in your power, to the very best of your ability, to see this through. Otherwise, you're still in the cave.

When you find yourself, it won't be in your house. That's hiding from yourself.

I'll reply with this: five minutes of masturbation can prevent a lifetime of pain and suffering.

Love yourself and be content in being alone, get to know the real you. When you do that, you will find the right people. It will be instinctual.

 

File this one under “did not see this coming in a million years but also not sad about it whatsoever”: Daybreak has acquired Palia studio Singularity 6.

“Our team is absolutely thrilled to be joining forces with Daybreak Game Company, a subsidiary of Enad Global 7 AB (EG7), known for publishing and supporting some of the world’s most popular and successful online multiplayer franchises, such as EverQuest, H1Z1, The Lord of the Rings Online, and more,” S6 announced this evening. “The acquisition provides us with some incredible resources and support to continue developing Palia and elevate the product to meet the gold standard that our players expect, including engaging new content, impactful social features, and quality-of-life improvements across the board.”

Singularity 6 says that it will “continue operating independently” under its co-founders and that its “vision and creative direction will remain intact,” which would generally be one of those lines in a press release like this that causes eyerolls, but it might actually be believable in this case, given how Daybreak has handled Standing Stone Games for the last many years now.

Daybreak, of course, was founded back in 2015 using the bones of SOE, but it was itself acquired by EG7, and since then, it’s basically taken over EG7 from the inside out. It’s actually performed fairly well for EG7 over the last few years, though it dipped at the end of 2023, sold off the PlanetSide IP, and relinquished development of PlanetSide 2. Buying an existing studio and game actually aligns rather nicely with EG7’s stated goals of running consistent mid-tier MMORPG moneymakers.

S6 has been struggling for the last many months as it appeared to be suffering serious financial difficulties and went through multiple rounds of layoffs as well as its Palia beta obfuscation fiasco, so it’s hard to see this as anything but good news for folks who wanted to see Palia stick around to actually see its real launch and/or see Daybreak expand and maybe even return to its glory days of bailing out floundering MMOs.
