I am not happy about it, though there were rumors for a while now. Like, yes, I have spent an absurd amount on TS3/TS4 dlcs all in all, EA will probably get me for TS5 in whatever form that takes... but F2P always means worse monetization. I see it being like TS3 with a la carte buy mode stuff through premium currency, which is such a step back from expansion packs (as much as that got shrunk over time over game packs, stuff packs, and kits).

Honestly, I feel bad for whining about it, because it seems to be working today fine. I am sure other instances are doing alright, I see enough Lemmy posts federated to know it's not like... systemic... so I should have tried more before complaining. It's just my personal experience with the one I joined.

With the option, I find myself having both beehaw and Kbin tabs open with little preference for either, which you'd think is redundant with federation, but idk. I do like that if one is down, there is a chance another is up.

I have kbin and beehaw(lemmy) and honestly every time I go to Beehaw, it errors out, serverside 50x errors. Sometimes I get a few link clicks, it's just so erratic. I know I need to try joining another instance, but I liked that one when it was accessible lol. kbin has been solid for me, so usually I lurk here. I know other lemmy instances must be stable, I just haven't tried them because kbin works for me.

The yakisoba frozen noodle bowls from Costco are my absolute favorite thing. Lots of veggies with the noodles.

I had a kneejerk "naur" reaction because I hate change, but then I realized oh, it is nice.

That has admittedly been my petty joy in jumping ship. Sparkly new, like untrodden snow.
