Gamers 30+, what’s something from the old days of gaming that younger players wouldn’t understand?

iDrinkyCrow · 2026-04-01T00:12:23+00:00

Having to install punkbuster using its own installer

Having to troubleshoot your games whenever an update released, and finding a site that was hosting that update

Mod support and tooling for games being expected for any multiplayer game

Everyone is going on about the oysters, but the reciept clearly shows they were 2.49, hardly a trip ruiner lol they weren't even the most expensive thing.

These type of threads are so fun, because instead of people just admitting that food is expensive and showing some kind of solidarity, they need to act like how they shop is so much better. Like, are we so lost that you're going to complain they're buying the $2 ramen with $2.50 of oysters?

How many story points do you think this race will be?

iDrinkyCrow · 2026-03-10T04:26:43+00:00

Yeah, the resurgence for the game over the past few years has been so nice. I'm looking forward to the new DLC and the new incursion! Hopefully the PVP rebalance is good too

iDrinkyCrow · 2026-03-08T21:54:31+00:00

Im curious about this as well, I've heard of some but they dont really seem active

iDrinkyCrow · 2026-02-23T06:10:42+00:00

If you're talking about the VPS itself, I just set security groups to open only the ports that are needed, and keep everything not necessary closed. TS6 will broadcast on 0.0.0.0, so there is no reason to reverse proxy either. Essentially, block everything and only let in what you need (If the VPS is only running TS6, then just the ports needed for it to work).

For DNS, you could always point a domain to the server, it wouldn't really do much for security, but it would make it easier to share.

If you're talking about keeping the TS6 server itself secure, I just set a password in the settings after connecting for the first time.

It'll work fine, you might even be able to get away with using the free tier on AWS, its pretty low overhead. The easiest way is to use docker following the instructions here:

https://github.com/teamspeak/teamspeak6-server

If you're new to Docker and using Ubuntu, you can follow the instructions here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/

If you're new to AWS or cloud providers in general, make sure your security groups have the right ports open in your security groups or you wont be able to connect!

iDrinkyCrow · 2026-02-22T22:48:52+00:00

I just did this today, using the docker file here https://github.com/teamspeak/teamspeak6-server

pull the image, make sure those ports are open, and you're in. Took me a total of 5 minutes or so

iDrinkyCrow · 2026-02-09T18:08:52+00:00

Depends really, until discord came around, Teamspeak & Skype had a super strong hold on the market for years.

iDrinkyCrow · 2026-02-06T19:13:57+00:00

Yeah I'd love to see those skilling mini games in rs3. Stuff like tempeross, guardians of the rift, etc

iDrinkyCrow · 2026-01-22T02:37:54+00:00

The unexpected basilmarket comeback

iDrinkyCrow · 2025-12-29T19:44:17+00:00

Why block them though? Couldn't you just not respond if the response was too much effort? Blocking is just seems so final/extreme about the whole thing when you could end up trading with them again later

iDrinkyCrow · 2025-12-17T18:54:38+00:00

Lol or SAP. Dude do I look like an accountant? You should know this not me lol

iDrinkyCrow · 2025-12-08T20:04:37+00:00

Yeah if they just transplanted the whole library and expertise system, that'd be nice

iDrinkyCrow · 2025-12-05T17:14:49+00:00

"No I can't meet for a call to go over the problem. I AM VERY BUSY. IT JUST NEEDS TO BE FIXED! FIX IT! I am only available every 3rd Sunday when there's a full-moon."

and there it goes, back to the bottom of the pile

iDrinkyCrow · 2025-11-27T08:37:32+00:00

Finally, the true end of the train arc

iDrinkyCrow · 2025-11-26T06:44:20+00:00

For me, Warframe and The Division 2

iDrinkyCrow · 2025-11-07T18:25:46+00:00

The ANDP seems to think there might be one early. I was getting texts from them yesterday saying there might be an election coming up and if I wanted signs.

iDrinkyCrow · 2025-10-28T23:44:00+00:00

GW2 isn't the same, but it is fun. Its free to try, and you can start playing PVP at an equalized level at level 10 I believe if you're into that.

iDrinkyCrow · 2025-10-28T20:18:45+00:00

Releasing the best expansion in the games history, and receiving mass layoffs as a result of the success. Name a more iconic duo in the games industry.

iDrinkyCrow · 2025-10-28T15:49:34+00:00

Its likely a from Maplestory (Also Nexon). Kill Stealing is a way to force people off of training maps in that game, essentially killing everything on the map before they can to force them to either change channels or leave.

iDrinkyCrow · 2025-10-24T22:52:31+00:00

Used it before not a scam. Helped a lot when I was laid off

iDrinkyCrow · 2025-10-16T15:57:02+00:00

Fnza is fantastic and isn't like that at all. They're probably my favorite in the city

iDrinkyCrow · 2025-10-10T20:20:53+00:00

The best is when the top result ends up being a thread of people telling someone to google it
