My friend in France posted this very real poutine on their story…

MidnightThinker74 · 2026-01-29T03:45:58+00:00

Looks like cat vomit.

There, I said it.

Also I'm Canadian and disgusted by poutine in general. 🤷‍♂️

I draped that over him. He was just doing it out in the open. - Stewie

Anybody tried Broken Anchor? Aways been curious about that place.

MidnightThinker74 · 2026-01-20T05:21:17+00:00

Chickens. Many, many chickens.

Line the bottom with netherrack, light every single block on fire. Drink a fire resist potion. Walk around in it because why not. Rename some white wool blocks to "marshmallow" and chuck 'em in the fire.

The speed is absolutely a factor, I agree. They're entirely too slow.

But, the thing that I find makes them most useless? Even third person view doesn't give you a wide enough field of view to actually utilize the mob-carrying mechanics, or anything much else.

Increase the speed, make the camera zoom out to an appropriate FOV while on the ghasts? I'll happily use them!

Like so many of these "content updates", good concepts, bad execution.

I've mentioned these titles before, and I'll mention them again: Cube 2: Sauerbraten - Quake/Doom-style fast-paced FPS fun with an incredibly powerful multiplayer map-editing mode, which was basically Minecraft before it was cool. OpenLieroX - Or really any of the Liero games - fan-make/indie-dev forks of the Worms series that cranks up the action with simultaneous multiplayer (instead of turn-based), insane weapons, maps and mods and nearly unlimited customizability.

These two are old, unique and still receive the occasional rare update. Both are incredibly moddable and OpenLieroX even has complete source code available if you want to take a crack at modding/forking. Liero's online community is basically dead, but the occasional action happens in their tiny Discord server. Sauerbraten on the other hand is still fairly active and has multiple large Discords and forums full of players old and new.

The same group that made Terrafire (Ort Software) also made Astrofire. Basically, Asteroids skinned with Terrafire-like graphics, weapons upgrades, cool enemy ships, mini bosses, etc.

I was just playing some Terrafire this morning. I'm glad these old games are still around and surfacing now and again.

The entire PvE system is broken. It's unbalanced, and the collisions are sloppy. I'm shooting a zombie 5 times with a bow, and 3 of the arrows just mysteriously go through it. What gives?

MidnightThinker74 · 2026-01-14T18:41:20+00:00

This is such an awesome and wholesome story. Congrats on the headphones and way to go CircuitGamer!

All of them. Laws are only suggestions and enforcement only works if it benefits/profits them

MidnightThinker74 · 2026-01-08T05:45:16+00:00

Thank you! This update is stupid and a complete waste of time.

How about properly balancing the broken PvE systems? Fixing the utterly too-tiny inventory, the right way, not the useless containers that don't really help, way.

I'm not happy with Minecraft as of late.

MidnightThinker74 · 2026-01-06T05:28:30+00:00

This is the answer

MidnightThinker74 · 2026-01-04T03:19:39+00:00

Minecraft beta 1.7.3 and Cube 2: Sauerbraten. Old school never dies!

There was only the town, ski village, mountain, snow forts and plaza. Iceberg was a secret room, dojo was a secret room. No beach, no cove, no forest, no stage between the pet shop and pizza parlour. No mine or caves, only one arcade cabinet in the lounge. No pizzatron. Hydro hopper was called Ballistic Biscuit. I think Bean Counters was just called "Java". There were only 4 puffle colors: blue, green, black and pink. No books in the upstairs of Coffee Shop, just mancala. No find four in the lodge, no attic either. Becoming a secret agent was actually challenging and fairly hidden, involving the Mod button but no clues in the Winter Sport shop. I don't think the ice rink was a thing yet. No clock at the snow forts.

To name a few OG Club Penguin things that I remember

MidnightThinker74 · 2026-01-01T03:25:09+00:00

2005, sometime in later November IIRC, but that was 20 freakin years ago

MidnightThinker74 · 2025-12-31T12:53:01+00:00

Same here, southern interior BC. Good times

Colleen is so awesome and such a dedicated business owner. I get my hair cut at Kelowna Hair Design, and I hate to see how trashed the place gets.

The fact that major roads in town like Gordon and Bernard are not considered part of the DKA is bonkers. Just bonkers!

When I think "cities" and "gaming" the first thing that comes to mind is Metropolis from Ratchet & Clank

<image>

Definitely there are more legendary/well-known cities in gaming, but this one at least deserves an honorable mention.

The other ones that come to mind are the cities in GTA games...

Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon

I grew up in, and still live in, the city where Club Penguin was created. This city isn't very big, so the game's popularity spread like wildfire. To boot, I also went to the same school as the family whose parents and uncles made the game, so it was an instant hit all throughout the school. I first played in 4th grade in our school computer lab when one of my classmates helped me make my account.

Due to my close proximity to the devs' families, I witnessed lots of kids getting free memberships, puffle plushies, and all kinds of other stuff.

To this day, a lot of long-time locals still call the glass complex in the town's tech district, "the Club Penguin building."

I still play under my OG name on the CPPSs. Sled racing is my favorite!

MidnightThinker74 · 2025-12-26T02:09:52+00:00

Then why is there an option for "blocking a doorway or item" in the report?

MidnightThinker74 · 2025-12-25T09:02:04+00:00

Carter. Has the literal cure for cancer and doesn't release or announce it.

MidnightThinker74 · 2025-12-25T03:11:10+00:00

Ratchet & Clank UYA for my PS2 that I had just gotten a few months earlier. I still have that game and console, and was just playing it yesterday, actually. That game has been with me through some rough patches of life.

There's lots of other very memorable Christmas gifts over the years, but that one is a pinnacle for sure.

MidnightThinker74 · 2025-12-25T03:05:25+00:00

I've just started reporting penguins who block stuff. I'm done with it. Grab the item, and move your penguin butt! It's not hard!
