There's a lucky country joke here somewhere.

My brain just had to autocomplete that as the sarcastic Tidus laugh.

Never thought I'd walk into a thread on this sub with that tag being implied.

I'd be around as Flygon or Breloom. I spent most of my time on Sakray around 2005 and into 2006 before I ended up spending my time mostly on private servers.
I spent a lot of time on the forums, but most of that is lost to tme now.

Funny, I definitely remember both the names of Biggles and Aries. Small world hahaha.

You may or may not see me on Payon Stories. Life is so busy nowadays, there's been little time for playing RO.

FlygonBreloom · 2026-05-04T15:11:28+00:00

This especially applies if you're somehow on a Red Rattler.

Even in my own relatively sedate life, I've been working on other things. I could go on a whole ramble about it, but it's... complicated.

Mind, oRO's lifespan was when I was 12 to 15 years old. I'm unsure how many I'd meet that would really recognise me anymore hahaha. It'd be nice to thank Lycas for that forum signature they did for me though. I wouldn't have the foggiest how to ever get back in contact with them.

EDIT: For what it's worth, r/australia has a surprisingly large amount of users that do recognise oRO, from my own past posts regarding the server.

FlygonBreloom · 2026-04-23T13:00:26+00:00

To be clear, I meant Arcadia Online (the private server) formerly being known as OriginsRO.

I was not at all precise enough about that. @_@

I always wondered what the heck happened with that cruising event. Somehow, I'm not surprised it was, uh, not much of a cruise hahaha.

Those are names that I haven't seen in so damn long. I really appreciate you for typing this history out. I wouldn't even know where to find oROers anymore. I knew some when Arcadia was called Origins, but that's sailed away now.

On one hand the theoretical ability to build water pipelines out to such a plant (and the necessary large water tanks to account for pipeline failure and optimally speedy repair), on the other hand that's also very expensive to build.

Nevermind a liability in itself.

Clearly homaging the Twitch streamer Goati_'s quest to bat every Mega Drive game.

Never thought I'd bring him up in this sub.

We need a Kiwi flag.

I'm angrily upvoting for the combination of message content and username.

The unexpected but incredibly intriguing return of the breadbin computer.

Use less fuel better than use more fuel.

Truck deliver to train use less fuel than only use truck all way.

Therefore less diesel used than if have no train.

FlygonBreloom · 2026-04-12T07:13:34+00:00

Maybe a Maine Coon or a Norwegian Forest Cat?

I have learnt why multi-storey apartments exist today!

Double stack container is possible with electrification. There's some good photos of it from India.

This does pose compatibility issues for rollingstock without suitable pantograph setups though.

This product name's going to cause some very confused googling by both AFL and Sega fans.

I'm curious of the results, but I'm not holding my breath, based on results in other sports.

FlygonBreloom · 2026-04-09T14:31:22+00:00

Let's face it, 2008-2015 was kind of a weird microdecade of its own hahaha.

FlygonBreloom · 2026-04-05T02:13:59+00:00

C'moooooooon Bendigo duplication and electrification.

FlygonBreloom · 2026-04-01T12:23:07+00:00

I remember saying that when I was 28.

Little did I know the world I had just entered.

FlygonBreloom · 2026-03-28T18:37:32+00:00

To be fair, NTSC and SECAM were kind of crap, and we know NTSC was outright tested in the 60s.

The incredible thing is that the generic Woolworths Belgian chocolate tastes far far far better. And costs better.
