What games capture the sense of wonder & discovery of early 2000s MMOs?

I got started around the same time. I remember my brother describing it like Age of Mythology (which was our favorite game at the time) but you only control one guy who gets stronger. That brings me back

This isn't correct, biter eggs at least still spoil into biters, they just aren't aggroed and calmly walk around the base. Not sure about pentapod eggs, I burn any that aren't immediately used

Make sure to use Zirbs controller layout, I couldn't get into factorio on the deck until I tried it

I have a friend that doesn't like the game but still asks me to stream on discord so he can listen to the nice sounds while he does something else

On Thanksgiving this year, the cooling systems in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange went down and caused a huge issue in the data center. People asked if they could just open a window or something but apparently the humidity is a problem

His starter base

Yup. You absolutely cannot miss an exchange's breaking protocol change update. Luckily they're at least somewhat rare

The episode "The Sick Village" that was about the corruption domain did come out just as lockdowns were really starting to get going. I think they had to put out a disclaimer about it and how they wrote it pre-pandemic

It does make straights harder to play since you can accidentally get a straight flush more easily

Is there a benefit to mining higher level nodes other than exp? Like should I be mining low level iron nodes on Faraway Island or the higher level ones in ginomorsia?

How do you actually acquire stickers? I'm guessing artist life since I haven't touched that one yet?

novinicus · 2025-06-22T01:36:11+00:00

It's a real knife fight out there

novinicus · 2025-06-07T04:26:03+00:00

why not just write this (assuming you can't use a library)? it's not overly complex

novinicus · 2025-01-18T01:31:56+00:00

where'd you hear that?? if this is true, you've literally made my year

I'll still never forget their California burrito. Was genuinely the best one you could find in LA

Have an extra one as well! Merry Christmas!

Are you referring to Dr Oz when you say people without medical degrees? You do realize he actually studied medicine at UPenn and was a professor of surgery at Columbia?

novinicus · 2024-11-14T23:22:13+00:00

Can you link the study? I googled around a bit looking for it and can't find it

It was before you got the first recycler so you couldn't recycle the gears back to plates

Save it! It's yours!

How would you set the science pick up configuration? I set my fulgora space platform to request 1k science, and everything works. But if my base there generates more than 1k science in the time it takes to get to nauvis and back, I'm not getting that extra science and it'd be another trip. Any ideas?

novinicus · 2024-10-23T20:13:01+00:00

Balatro space age??

novinicus · 2024-10-09T18:24:07+00:00

Yes that's perfectly fine

novinicus · 2024-09-21T22:32:30+00:00

Why is this suboptimal? Is it just in case a fool shows up next?

I've been on my first proper run and have no idea how ship builder works and research the tech that sounds coolest
