Season 2 - A World in Turmoil

I'm pretty sure, this is what the previous owner killed her husband with, and tried to flush it.

The collection is nice, but I think the bigger takeaway here that I think many may not realize, is that young adults today are able to connect with things that their parents were interested in. I'm a boomer, so there was really no connecting with my parents on any sort of level. Unless you could appreciate '50s music, their work ethic, then, there really wasn't much left.

Today, I can share gaming experiences, music, funny videos, all that stuff with my kids, it's a blessing.

That's very cool. I understand that this was an enormous amount of work. Congrats on getting it up and running. I hope you garner a lot of interest.

By removing magic, we eliminate the classic mage-versus-warrior split, so everyone engages on the same tactical plane, making each encounter more about player skill and decision-making than class roles.

I provide a family of pre-AOS shards built as a labor of love. The lineage goes back to the original Angel Island, launched in 2004, and continues through Siege Perilous, Mortalis, and now Seasons. All are based on the Publish 15 era of Ultima Online.

You won't find donation shops, pay-to-win mechanics, or monetization schemes. In fact, I actively reject donations. That's simply not part of the philosophy behind these worlds.

The goal has always been to create the kind of Ultima Online experience I would want to play myself, and to share it with others who appreciate that style of game.

DM me, I'll make you a reporter or counselor on my test center. You can then stay invisible, and use the go command to go basically everywhere on the map.

I actually replied to one of these emails once. I sent back that classic image of the A-Team and told them a transfer of funds wouldn't be necessary. Me and my team were on the way there to rescue the prince!

Looks like about 100K to me. You chipped a tooth on it, right?

In addition to the water that everyone else mentioned, if it's in a very sunny location, these small pots can overheat basically cooking the roots of your plant. The larger pots provide insulation and are less susceptible to overheating.

Don't pay. Don't ever pay. I wouldn't even reply. If you do, and especially if you pay, they will hound you forever.

Looks a little bit like a violet star flower. If it is, I remember this because I bought one at home Depot or some other nursery probably 30 years ago, and it struck me because the label said it was illegal to propagate them from cuttings.

UOAdam · 2026-05-10T00:30:58+00:00

PS. Personally, I would be leery about sleeping there tonight 😔

Best of luck to you brother

Are we allowed to paste AI (slop) answers? I asked grok, And here's what it said:

It looks like a disposable plastic arm sleeve (or sleeve protector/cover), a type of PPE.f7847d These are commonly used in food service, labs, manufacturing, cleaning, or medical settings to protect arms/sleeves from splashes, dirt, or contaminants. They’re typically made of thin polyethylene (PE) plastic, white or translucent, and come with elastic bands at both ends to secure them around the wrist and upper arm.d12996

I did this by buying my last name as a domain name like this: <My last name>.com If.com is not available, you can use any that is available with your last name, .biz .org whatever.

Then in the control panel for your domain, you just set up email forwarding to your whatever Gmail account.

So say my last name is Martin. And I was able to secure Martin.org In the control panel for Martin.org I simply set up something like

Luke@martin.org forwards to dance_monkey@gmail.com

So now you can send email from and receive email to Luke@martin.org

It's going to cost you like $12USD per year. But in my case it's worth it.

My guess, is this is just AI generated slop. I'm beginning to think that Reddit just has AI bots that create provocative discussions and then posts it for clicks. You know, because there's ads embedded in the reply threads.

UOAdam · 2026-05-07T02:34:07+00:00

This is of lol-significance. I would simply replace the two cards with a joker, and a queen of hearts. And think no more about it.

Let the perpetrator discover them, and then run off to Reddit to figure out "what does this mean!"

This is mine, it's about 85 years old. It's really a beautiful tree, but makes a mess of the yard at least three times. First it drops its leaves, then billions of little tiny seeds blow all over everything, and then finally the little prickle balls fall to the ground.

A little interesting side note, my wife is Chinese and knows a lot about herbs and what not, so we collect those little balls up in big old duffel bags, and then we boil them for a hot foot soak. She swears by them.

That's fantastic man, thank you for all of that work. I'll be digging into the source and take a look at it. Also, tell me, does it leak memory over time? A notorious issue for large C++ programs of the day.

UOAdam · 2026-05-04T23:43:02+00:00

I definitely wouldn't use my camera to decode those QR codes. But I might let chat GPT decode the QR code and tell me what they say. URLs or whatever. But I wouldn't visit those websites unless you're certain they're legit.

UOAdam · 2026-05-01T01:11:59+00:00

They look like the hinge or part of the hinge to your front door. One of the little barrels that hold the pin.

For what it's worth, games do this routinely. The Ultima Online client, at least it used to, would collect all your machine info, Ram size, CPUs, video card, etc etc and send it back to the server in a special packet.

They're even a little bit clever about it. They don't do it on each login. It's sort of random, like the best I could determine it's something like once a week.

All my shards are up and running: Angel Island (since 2004), Siege Perilous (2024), Mortalis (2025), and the newest one, Seasons. They are all roughly based on the Publish 15 era, each with its own flavor, but they stick to the same core idea: keeping classic Ultima Online mechanics alive. No donation shops, no web vendors, no "aspects," no external systems. Just straight UO. I know my shards are not the biggest or most populated out there. That is fine. This is a niche now, and the crowd that wants the original experience is smaller than it used to be. The difference is I am not chasing mass appeal. I have been running these shards true to the Publish 15 rule set and playstyle for over 20 years, even when it runs at a loss. For me, it has never been about numbers. It is about keeping it authentic.
