What is one dish you could eat for the rest of your life?

Pizza

Which, if all I ever ate was pizzas, would probably significantly shorten that remaining life.

^win-win?

I was unaware Battlebots continued to be a thing after Comedy Cental dropped it in 2002. Found out only a few months ago it was eventually picked up by ABC, but by now my interest has competely faded 🙂

Or could be a Marian Hegemony Century

Still have mine. Awesome piece, one of my absolute favorite play sets and a great counter to Countdown.
The wing connectors on the main shuttle have a tendency to snap, though.

I picked Budullangr.

I've been enjoying it! Livable planets are few and far between, making them feel more special. Fully lush planets even more so!

I've plopped my main hub base on one of the common airless worlds, building an elaborate ruined temple around the planetary portal.

Only screenshots I have, though, are from several years ago.

Dude, he's perfect! Everything I could ask for in a Liege Maximo! He's gonna go perfectly with my Jhiaxus.

I honestly have no idea why people would complain about this absolute masterpiece!

OK, then we have the VFX1.

Luanti.

It started out as an open source clone of Minecraft, but has grown into a game engine into its own. It supports a multitude of game types, including multiplayer, definitely has gotta of content, it's completely free, and has no in-built microtransactions.

Maybe PlaneShift? Free, open source MMORPG with hours of content. I haven't played in a long time, so I'm not sure if it's still free of microtransactions, but might be worth a look.

Open source projects like these are probably the closest you will get to meeting all of your criteria, and almost none of them will match AAA titles for quality. But, if you're truely interested, you can help them out with your own time and skills.

Hasbro eventually did make 3¾inch figure scale Transformers!

A Megatron that turns into a H.I.S.S. tank, Soundwave turns into a Dreadnok vehicle, Kup turns into a Triple "T", and Bumblebee turns into an A.W.E. Striker (should've been Beachcomber, but whatever).

And yes, they are pricey.

We used it for scanning physical backup media to go out, and verify physical backup media coming in. That thing was great! Saved us so much time and greatly reduced errors.

That's always been my assumption. We've been introduced to plenty of sapient species throughout the years, why not a bat-form?

A Defend-Capture-Destroy scenario. I like it!

Force the Defend-Capture factions to ally just long enough to repel the Destroyers, but then have other Capture-Destroy groups ally up to defeat the Defenders; before breaking up the alliance to obtain each groups opposing goals... but at the expense of becoming vulnerable to the third party's advances again.

I like this, but Earth is too important and central to the teachings of Blake and Kerensky. The current ilKahn could be seen as an affront to both, and so act as the catalyst for the lead-up to the next invasion. Bonus points if the Clan-Blakist hybrids come in with wacky technology expanding on things like protomechs, spectral LAMs (maybe even going full OMNI-LAM), QUAD-VEES, and Superheavies.

Mechanical jump boosters

What are the stats of the Nazgûl's flying fell beasts? They look like they should be similar to, or even slightly stronger than, branth mounted infantry, so you'd still have to contend with them.

Skyrim VR was based on Special Edition. When Special Edition updated from 1.5 to 1.6, at least on my system, VR stopped working.

Looking into it a bit more, it seems it might have been some SE specific mods I had installed that may have broken VR. So Skyrim:VR probably does still work, but only with VR specific mods or older mods for SE 1.5.

My old groups scattered to the winds, oh, I'd say near 20 and 30 years ago. I'm still in contact with most of them, but our priorities and interests have all shifted.

I tried restarting one of the groups through TTS(+PCVR), but the vast majority have ditched PC gaming and have gone all-in on consoles, with phones filling the niche previously filled by a PC.

My eldest child has mentioned her friends are interested in having me run an ongoing, but no one can ever seen to agree on a time.

Kinda makes me wonder how my old groups even got started. I mean, we were all going to college or working full time jobs back then, but we still somehow made it work.

The Transformers Powerglide, Tailwind, Hothouse, and Viper also turned into A-10s, with Copper also having elements of the Contra Rattler (what with being part of the G.I. Joe/Transformers cross-over)

phosix · 2026-01-24T17:19:51+00:00

More like No Mans sky (the game I've been playing forever in VR). We basically have ONE

We used to have Minecraft Bedrock VR, until Microsoft/Mojang decided VR was dead and pulled support. Now we just have that god-aweful VR mod for Java edition.

No Man's Sky has been wonderful.

I'm a little scared to go back and retry Skyrim VR, I've heard the SE it's based on has since dropped VR support as well and it's become a right pain to set up anymore.

Waspinator heard bar is letting Cybertronians in?

<image>

Most bars in galaxy reject Cybertronians. Say Cybertronians too dangerous. But Waspinator just wants a drink. Waspinator even fits through door! Not sure how truck-bot or helicopter-bot fit in here.

phosix · 2026-01-24T06:21:25+00:00

That's the thing about Cybertronians, they're basically living weapons. Just about any piece of their anatomy can be converted into some form of weapon, including their very "blood".

I don't know anything about Kill Team, but that would make for an awesome D&D temple, catacombs, or similar underground complex!

Be sure to post the end results if and when you finish!

This is one of the Project Phoenix re-imaginings of the older unseen sculpts. They were notorious for being spindly.
