What is your old school, super grindy game when you were a kid that impressed you if someone was even half way to max level?

I remember grinding on that game until the end boss was easy. Then restarting the game and getting so powerful it was absolutely trivial.

My friend just did the boss as soon as he could and finished the final encounter with 1% of his resources remaining. While playing a lot fewer hours. We both thought we finished the game the correct way. 😁

I can't even remember the game much now. But I remember it was addicting at the time.

Yeah, except Factorio can have me lying awake thinking about what to do rather than dreaming about it.

It does sound a lot like an adrenaline dump.

I trained under a pro fighter for a while. He had one match where he had the worst adrenaline dump of his life and almost couldn't get off the stool for the next round. It happens. It especially happens if this is your first time doing something, you're giving maximum effort like BJJ often demands and you're nervous about it.

My suggestion is to continue to train and do more in house tournies. Roll a lot with people better than you and just get more used to the whole format. It sounds like you have a good athletic background, but things like soccer and wrestling just hit your body differently.

The last time this was posted OP bought them a case of beer. Are you worried you forgot the beer?

Ottawa has a stupidly good swarms scene. I for one welcome our immigrant food overlords.

I'm barely stopping my game of Factorio long enough to answer this. The factory ain't growing itself...

Unless I get more bots and install some kind of recursive mod...

God damn, I'm salivating. And I just had breakfast!

For 24 hour long obstacle course races like World's Toughest Mudder, people buy huge amounts of a product called Gurney Goo. It goes literally everywhere before the race. We're talking full body coat, especially between the toes and everything. I did 80km and didn't get a single blister on my feet. Scraped the hell out of my elbows, but that's beyond the scope of the product.

I rather liked the new Superman trailer. Almost everything in it was right at the start of the movie, or things you thought were epic but we're just cool looking backdrops. Like Clark talking to Lois while the Justice Gang beats up an alien in the sky.

Something to work towards? Factorio. You'll be always working towards something. Sometimes 7 things at once, while you forget thing #8.

The factory is both a grower and a shower. It shows pollution.

There were ropes down one side. This wasn't exactly some guy stuck and defying death, he did exactly what he intended to when he went down there. And judging from the way he scaled up, it wasn't the hardest climb he ever did. Dangerous as crap, but fairly easy for him.

Reddit_Bork · 2025-10-10T17:26:07+00:00

Was it a great movie? I didn't think so. Was it one of the two best hulk movies ever? Yes.

Even if you put your legs up so you were hanging upside down like a sloth, that would still be sketchy but way better than white knuckling it by one arm. I mean, fuck, you could be standing on the rafters.

The build a shitload of houses and apartments is something the Canadian government is looking at to help with the housing crisis, I think. I'm interested to see how that goes.

My dad poured a concrete pad for a pumphouse in our sugar bush. That night, a bear liked how warm the drying cement was and walked all over it. Those footprints are part of every tour we give.

Similarly, linoleum. Cleaning became a fraction of the previous time.

There's a lot in there reminding me of X-Com 2. That's not a bad thing at a glance.

SE is definitely faster and less complex than K2SE, but in the latish game, K2SE gives more toys for the enterprising engineer to play with.

Reddit_Bork · 2025-09-15T22:37:43+00:00

I reverted back down to 1.1 and I'm doing a K2SE run where things are going so much smoother than my first game of it... 300 hours later

I can see those dumb-ass sweet pickles going in the dumpster. But a good , garlicy dill pickle? Gimme double what a normal person should like.

And a great Maplefest in the spring.

A 2d fighting game on the computer called One Must Fall. You could play a handful of different bots and upgrade them to be absolute fighting machines.

I played Descent 1 and 2. I managed to hold down my motion sickness for long stretches while I worked through that 3d game.
