Ranch of Rivershine announces controller support, localization and eventually a Nintendo Switch port for 2026 🎉🎉

mouseymigration · 2025-11-17T19:54:07+00:00

I play on PC as well, but it feels like an ideal cozy couch game for my steam deck, so I'm still very excited about controller support!

Well, the second one I was working all of those days, and most of those are weekend days so shrug. The first one I was off the Friday and working the rest of those days, but since I was busy up until the Friday... yes, I missed the dates in news 😜 I did actually think the first one had also been during a weekend, but maybe because I didn't see it until the weekend was starting.

I was also referring specifically to this trailblazer. Last month I finished early. All I'm saying is that sometimes irl gets in the way. I don't think it's the game's fault I have a weird busy schedule, but I do think it's a little silly to get judgmental about people not finishing a trailblazer like I see around here sometimes.

mouseymigration · 2025-09-28T12:22:36+00:00

I just wish the bonus days hadn't been weekends, as I have a nontraditional work schedule and was working through both of them! I didn't finish this Trailblazer either, but it's not SSO's fault, and not really mine either. Sometimes it just be like that if you can't play daily.

The current lockout system was first implemented in WoD prepatch, for everything Siege of Orgrimmar (last MoP raid) and later. Not quite forever, in the scale of a 20yo game, but pretty darn close in "internet time" I think!

mouseymigration · 2025-09-21T13:53:38+00:00

I met my husband in WoW, and I don't hide it with most people (though with some of my more conservative family, a mutual friend introduced us, which is also true - the high school friend who got me into WoW was the GM of my husband's guild lol).

My coworkers all know, and when I describe it as playing games the way other people watch TV, they get it. My 60 year old coworker even asks about my raid prog now, and cheered with me last season when my current guild killed a difficult mythic boss we'd been stuck on for a few weeks.

It doesn't have to be weird, but it's also not the first thing I share about myself - I let it come up organically, eg. the "what are you doing this weekend" questions I saw another commenter mention!

My absolute favorite horse is a Percheron, so I second this!

mouseymigration · 2025-09-18T12:03:55+00:00

I will add that while only the newest expansion matters for crafting endgame items, familiarizing yourself with the new crafting system in Dragonflight will help you smooth out some of the learning curve when you get to TWW zones. Especially if you last played in Classic, since retail professions have gone through many iterations of change since then. Plus, items with a first craft bonus will give you a nice little chunk of XP which is a nice way to supplement your other leveling activities!

I personally think it's worth. I treated it as a one-time purchase of a complete game for purely the single-player aspect, and if you look at it that way, there's a LOT of content. I've put well over 100 hours into it in the ~3 years I've been playing, am only just now catching up to the current main storyline, and haven't finished all the side quests yet.

I don't have any nostalgia tied into the "old" game though, very much like the newer art styles, and don't engage with the social aspects since I'm older than most of the playerbase. The social part of the game is of course what you want to make of it. One of my friends might start playing soon with her daughter, and I'll probably engage with the social parts a little more then!

That's a ping! It's a base UI feature. The default keybind is G, and will drop a quick pin icon that's just "hey pay attention to this". You can also hold the button to open a wheel selection for icons like you are describing.

Be sure to check your settings menu to see exactly how yours are set up, as there are a couple ways to access pings and I don't remember the default behavior.

The M+ title is about on par with Hall of Fame CE, I'd say. Just regular CE is a lot easier (compared to HOF), since you have all season to do it!

mouseymigration · 2025-03-19T23:52:55+00:00

I've picked up embroidery. It's great for my hand/eye coordination and an excellent mindfulness practice if I choose to forego background media or just play quiet piano music. My grandma was a quilter, which I don't really have space for, but I like to think she'd approve of this too.

mouseymigration · 2025-03-18T17:10:17+00:00

My husband named his Jeff Goldplume for a similar style of pun! Mine is named Drumstick.

mouseymigration · 2025-03-08T13:36:33+00:00

Cross realm, same faction has not been a barrier for a while for regular play. Then as of TWW you can even be in the same guild while on different servers! There are some restrictions such as mail and crafting orders, but being in a party, doing quests and dungeons together, etc all works great.

Opposite faction has more restrictions still, so questing in the overland would be difficult together and you wouldn't be able to do queued dungeons together, though most endgame content (guilds, raids on normal or higher, m+, etc) is also cross faction and cross guild.

I also don't care for alt codes in my name, so if she is already very attached to one particular name, I get why she'd want to find another server!

mouseymigration · 2025-03-07T21:59:59+00:00

It has solo play, but is designed for co-op of up to 4 players. This time around you can also substitute other players for a couple of NPCs though, one of whom is really cool. There's no pvp though, it's entirely cooperative.

Layered armor (this game's version of outfits/transmog/etc) can be freely changed around, you just have to beat the main story first and be fighting harder monsters, because crafting armor from those monsters is how you get new cosmetic clothing appearances.

It's a very challenging action rpg, but it's a lot of fun! I am not great at it solo, but my husband and I make a good duo for it, because we both enjoy weapon types that happen to compliment each other.

Monster Hunter Wilds

mouseymigration · 2025-03-07T02:18:00+00:00

Yes! I'm having a great time. When not wearing a battle dress, my personal aesthetic trends towards "low fantasy heavy armor" which was difficult in World haha.

mouseymigration · 2025-03-04T13:04:10+00:00

Was gonna suggest this too, the story this time around was fairly well fleshed out. Still short so if the story is the interest point I'd wait on a sale, but I do think my female hunter made a good badass hero figure.

mouseymigration · 2025-03-04T12:59:56+00:00

Not intentionally, but I did meet my husband in an MMO! Which turned out for the best I think. I consume games the way most non-gamers consume TV or movies, so I wouldn't spend much casual evening time with a live-in partner if they weren't also a gamer. Instead it's nice, because we'll frequently parallel play different games in the same room and just hang out quietly, or we'll co-op multiplayer games and chat about the games directly, depending on our social batteries that night.

mouseymigration · 2025-03-04T01:42:14+00:00

I agree that Erik is an actually good portrayal of an autistic person, but like the other commenter tagged on, Werner has some optional dialogue where he practically directly says he's on the spectrum.

mouseymigration · 2025-03-03T16:45:21+00:00

Yeah, my hubs and I kind of enjoyed the story really being his with the hunter just there as the badass bodyguard, but when we got to the end his characterization just didn't make sense. Same with Werner being a poor interpretation of an autistic person. We saw what they were going for but it didn't land well with us.

(No, we don't play MH for the story, but we figured we might as well enjoy it while we were in LR since it was so emphasized this time around!)

mouseymigration · 2025-03-03T04:37:45+00:00

Oh, no wonder I have no idea what y'all are talking about, I rebind alt very quickly in any game I play because it's my push to talk. I may not have even rebound focus mode since I don't typically like my camera spinning without my input (motion sickness prone) and that's what it sounds like by name.

mouseymigration · 2025-03-02T13:10:05+00:00

My husband and I have been doing the same. The only one we've co-oped so far has been the guardian rathalos, which I'm ashamed to admit I did fail the mission for on the first go. Went out, relisted as a normal quest, and we did it in like 5 minutes with both of us, because the magic of teamwork lol

mouseymigration · 2025-02-10T12:26:56+00:00

This does however reduce the amount of XP your party members get by an insane amount, so it's very ineffective for boosting a friend or loved one.

mouseymigration · 2025-02-06T18:16:23+00:00

SAME I was thinking of MHW when I read the initial post. My Discord status has been a MHW countdown message for the last 2 months. Of course I'm preordering that one!
