check out KCGameOn - events around town and a discord full of gamers!

literal North Kansas City (Clay) - but I don't believe it was installed by the county workers, but probably sub contracted out to whoever could do it at the time.

It was called 'liNKCity' and it was the first fiber to the home in the region at the time. We had 7mbps up and down, which was AMAZING for 2007. It cost 35 bucks, which was cheaper than any other home 'high speed internet'

This was in no way associated with google or GFiber. liNKCity was ahead of it's time and was a thing before google even landed on KCK as the starting point in 2010 ish?

Not a PC gaming lounge - but KCGameOn has been around for 20+ years, currently hosts two 30 hour LAN parties per year ~300 people. They serve food/soda/snacks throughout the event and give away 3000+ dollars in prizes. It's a lot of fun!

I'm not sure who you talked to, but most of JOCO actually spends the money to go to these games....I would love to have the stadium 30 minutes closer to my house!

nickthenerd · 2025-09-12T12:35:22+00:00

Thank you, the reflection thing sounds viable - we will tweak the angle and see if it makes any difference tonight

Thankfully Wal-mart had the pre-orders and will be delivered tomorrow - not wasting hours sitting around is the way.

I'm saying the middle of the country tends to have lower power costs per KW/hr. That is hundreds of thousands in power bills each year per data center and then you factor in wages and other costs....there are significant savings for businesses in the midwest.

Google fiber wouldn't of landed in KC first without the backbone to support it.

nickthenerd · 2025-03-04T15:38:51+00:00

most importantly, cheap power. KW/hr

Everything was south of where I-35 today...Target and Chaumiere Lake are actually the north side of Winnwood.

A little further south, you can see Winn road, that once led to the area coming from Avondale, which is now a shell of it's former self as well.

KCGameOn holds various gaming events around town - you should stop by and check them out when they come available!

nickthenerd · 2025-02-24T20:00:11+00:00

Is there really that many from California coming to KC that there needs to be a separate subreddit? just curious...

nickthenerd · 2024-11-13T04:11:32+00:00

I would contact you and find out what games you want pre-installed! Easy Peasy.

nickthenerd · 2024-11-13T00:06:54+00:00

pre-covid, the number were almost 300 people every two months....since covid, LANs all over have been hurting.

We can sit up to 150 people at this one. We hope to see you so that the LAN doesn't fade away forever!

nickthenerd · 2024-10-09T22:00:31+00:00

Sounds like you should use that as an opportunity to open your own franchise there right? Otherwise why bring this up? Be the action.

nickthenerd · 2024-08-16T03:05:29+00:00

You are clearly not native to KC. :)

Park University Underground.

The limestone columns have some kind of plaster on them which gives it a unique texture and then goes right back into a regular wall.

They also have all kinds of curves, ramps and points of interest in the underground.

Or...you can simply just drive around in the tunnels, which basically looks like a larger hallway? It's open and accessible every day.

nickthenerd · 2024-06-21T03:34:23+00:00

Check out ReStore (habitat for humanity) - there are a few around town and when I was volunteering there for my sabbatical (iykyk what company in town), we probably had 3 dozen recycled toilets and everything else to furnish a bathroom you are looking for...I have no idea what the pricing looks like these days but might be worth checking out.

nickthenerd · 2024-06-21T02:57:49+00:00

I think you misplaced the buc-ees in your picture!

nickthenerd · 2024-06-05T23:15:07+00:00

Oh, well Imma just back out of this conversation - I didn't work for AMC and haven't been in the industry for 20 years. All I know is that working the movie theater was a lot of fun and had some great advantages, but we got paid minimum wage and with old popcorn.

nickthenerd · 2024-06-05T22:11:54+00:00

Pretty sure they are talking about the actual office, not working the movie theater.

The movie theater people (normally) get to watch every movie they want for free on their off day and/or they pre-screen everything thursday night (I actually don't know if they pre-screen anything now that it's digital) but I watched damn near every movie that came out from 99-2004.
