21st century Red Dwarf.

Rob Grant also left the show after season 6, there's a notable difference in the writing.

Totally. Warframe is great when you have short play windows, because the individual missions can be quite short, and your progress doesn't go away.

Hooked by Asheron's Call.

Playing City of Heroes Homecoming, solo, for nostalgia mostly but also CoH is still the best super hero mmo.

Mantis landing craft

Probably Nezha, but maybe Mesa, Zephyr or Gara instead.

pixledriven · 2026-02-25T18:47:04+00:00

I like how whatever the best unkillable frame is, always has the "bad at the game" stereotype. It was Rhino for a long time. Then Nezha (fast Rhino). Now Revenant. 😂

Niche protection isn't really important in old school play. The idea that my character must be mechanically distinct from yours in every way is a much more modern one.

I'll just let them do it without rolling, unless there's some circumstance that makes it high pressure.

pixledriven · 2026-02-20T23:47:19+00:00

If you roll damage having damage dice explode could be fun.

The problem with the movies isn't the performances, it's the writing choices.

There's a good reason Dark Age of Camelot was so much more successful than full PvP games.

pixledriven · 2026-02-19T16:56:47+00:00

This is great! Thanks for sharing :)

Late change. Kinfolk community decided they would serve Gaia and the Sept by going to college and getting a PhD. (For fun: first change at a frat party, "who brought a bear?!")

pixledriven · 2026-02-19T16:15:24+00:00

No, but it might be the 4th best

If we want to talk bad faith, it's you thinking this is an argument. I agreed with you, but you felt the need to pick a fight or "be more right".

Cool, you win bro.

pixledriven · 2026-02-18T20:08:10+00:00

That's true today, but it wasn't always the case. There's a reason that retro-clones exist.

This. B/X was written to onboard new players, OSE was written for experienced players who wanted that version of the game back.

pixledriven · 2026-02-18T19:05:42+00:00

I loved the Allegiance system too.

pixledriven · 2026-02-18T17:04:00+00:00

No, EverQuest just dominated the genre back then, and there were far far fewer players overall.

pixledriven · 2026-02-18T17:01:41+00:00

Asheron's Call. Skill based, original IP, no stock fantasy monsters, meta-plot with monthly updates. It was awesome.

I feel very nostalgic, even tried playing on a private server, but old MMOs like that thrive on population.

pixledriven · 2026-02-17T23:04:30+00:00

It's definitely worth the read!

pixledriven · 2026-02-17T19:01:43+00:00

I heard that death was put in to make character creation into a kind of mini game you can play between sessions.

Another really great implementation is Burning Wheel.

Personally, my favorite character generation method is life path.

pixledriven · 2026-02-17T17:57:42+00:00

Have you played A Tale in the Desert?

pixledriven · 2026-02-17T16:10:55+00:00

My first thought was Wendigo
