At least we have that fanmade expansion for Heroes 3.
Comment on "what happened??"

I call this “The curse of Might and Magic”. This franchise was established by Jon Van Caneghem who founded New World Computing. The company later got into financial trouble and was absorbed by 3DO. Over time (mainly due to the commercial failure of its console, which came after the acquisition of the M&M property), 3DO started slipping into the hole. It dissolved, and in its fire sale, Ubi purchased the rights to Might and Magic. The rest, as they say, is history…

And before that, Swords of Xeen, as MM 5.5. But other unofficial spinoffs, in particular the King’s Bounty series, weren’t half bad, either.

man, do I miss might and magic. I think imma play through Xeen again soon.

World of Xeen? Such a fun concept, combining the two games. I’ve been trying to run the mod that lets you play 6, 7 and 8 within the same game, but my current PC can’t handle it.

Unless they changed something in the last year or so, all the Smithsonian buildings in DC have free admission.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Oh good! I just remember the last time I was in DC, I had to pay admission. That was in the mid '90s so, I’m guessing they managed to fix that later.

Generally The Smithsonian locations are free to enter. Some parts cost extra like the butterfly room at the natural History one.
A quick Google says the only one that does cost anything is the Cooper Hewitt in New York.

Ok. I haven’t been in ages. I just remembered having to pay admission for something.
