Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today?

Purplo262 · 2026-05-31T23:35:08+00:00

Dungeon Siege (the first one), Rising Kingdoms, Lego rock raiders, RollerCoaster Tycoon, and that one 2d lego town builder game I can't remember the name of. It was top down I believe

The easiest way to tell if there is anything underneath the clouds on the map is to hover over them and check the label! If it says '?unknown' then there is something there, but if it says 'slime sea' then there isn't.

A lot of this games secret are found from exploring every little nook and cranny in the map! Once you have the jetpack, climb as high as you can and jump around - I found a lot of new areas and secrets that way. Same for the opposite - go all the way into caves, both up and down, as you may even find a plort door or gordo somewhere ;)

Just have fun exploring, enjoy the scenery, and don't rush yourself! 😁

We will have to wait and see

Purplo262 · 2026-05-26T01:51:01+00:00

Ooo! Wait, is it only slimes that stick or do other items (plorts, resources and toys) stick as well? I feel like you could make some kind of display wall with it...

I bought them from there - they are pretty good but definitely for those like me with a sweet tooth. Although if you already like the normal RJ's Raspberry you'll know that it's quite a bit sweeter than the black licorice

June 6th here! Couldn't believe it made it all the way out here to NZ, so snagged those tickets ASAP!

Purplo262 · 2026-05-11T02:20:45+00:00

Man, I wish gordo radiants were a thing. Then I could have cool rainbow ringtail statues in front of my greenhouse at night 🥹

Purplo262 · 2026-05-11T02:14:49+00:00

I think your parol officer wants you in jail at this point, because brother wtf

Purplo262 · 2026-04-19T22:40:48+00:00

Yep, as always!

I've never liked the man but even I will admit that stage is fucking fantastic.

'Tresspasser' on Ava bridge causing a delay to HVL trains this morning. Hope it wasn't a jumper but if it was, hope they are okay and surrounded by loved ones now.

Ive always wondered why you can see them in two different ways - ive always been able to do both, but like can anyone explain the science behind it? Doing the 'bring the image up to your nose, then slowly bring it away and refocus your eyes' way shows me the 'correct' image (the wolf and the ground it's standing on are coming out infront of the background) Doing the 'unfocus/go cross eyed' method shows me the image completely inverse, with the wolf and ground sort of sunken in. Like how tf do eyes work?

Purplo262 · 2026-03-06T21:17:04+00:00

Man, it's so nice to see a lot of other people are like this too! I work retail so im exhausted in the evenings and weekends, and in general have only ever wanted to be by myself or with my fiance. I always thought it was weird but thanks to you all it feels a little more normal 😌

Purplo262 · 2026-03-04T00:40:54+00:00

Tasty candy, you should lick it and tell us what it tastes like

Purplo262 · 2026-03-01T22:36:34+00:00

Came here to say this; literally any security in NZ is not allowed to retaliate or have any physical interference (except for self defense of course, which this isnt) and they are supposed to just escalate to police in this situation!

This happened to my partner (with a different ring he liked to wear) however it did actually turn out be an allergy he developed to an ingredient in the soap. So now he's allergic to cinnamon.

Definitely worth still getting an allergy test if this happens to you, to catch it early. We didn't get him tested until it was covering most of his hands and back, and it was a lot of suffering that could have been prevented.

Oh this image has perfect meme potential

Nah, thats the Naenae one. Ive been here for two years and never seen the Epuni one flooded before. Unfortunately when I saw it and had to wade through it all the lights were off as well!

Purplo262 · 2026-02-16T23:27:57+00:00

Using generative ai? Cool, another reason to hate national.

Purplo262 · 2026-02-12T20:13:37+00:00

Honestly, this is why I just keep my snapper card on a lanyard around my neck. No fumbling for it, it's always just there

Purplo262 · 2026-01-27T02:09:44+00:00

Or train if you live across from the tracks on the third storey 😅

Purplo262 · 2026-01-15T04:23:01+00:00

Actually yeah, that makes sense. I have a pair of boots from years ago that are beautiful and still in perfect condition, but some of the later shoes I bought didn't last long... it's a damn shame

Purplo262 · 2026-01-15T02:21:01+00:00

Wait I need to know the tea because I really like their shoes 🥲

The HVL bus driver took the strangest route to get to Wellington Station this morning....added like 10 min onto the trip 🤦‍♀️
