I'll likely be playing pretty quickly following launch. Since No Man's Sky I don't preorder and rarely buy anything until all dlc have released. I'm hungry for a game like this though and I think the game is ripe for creating mods which is why I'd like to not wait too long to start getting into it. Given it isn't a complete shit show (beyond the typical of Bethesda that is) I'll get it soon. Plenty of other stuff to play otherwise, No Man's Sky looking pretty good these days ironically.
Two weeks ago Reddit started forcing me to login in order to access the old version of the site. For me, that was the final push I needed to jump ship. I had created an account here a few years back but never quite got invested in the platform as Reddit was still decently usable with a few tweaks.
I am a bit nervous as subreddits that I frequented don't have established alternatives here. I could usually jump on Reddit once or twice a day and have a decent bit of posts to look through for a given subreddit. I haven't seen that level of activity on some of the communities I'm interested in that I've looked at across lemmy. It's probably just the reality of joining a newer and growing community.
Regardless, I'm excited to be here and I appreciate the look behind the scenes.
