Just a reminder that we're 10 years behind on our Metro2033 plotline:::
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_20

Metro 2033 takes place in the city of Moscow, Russia 20 years after a global nuclear holocaust in 2013. Moscow has become a wasteland filled with killer mutants and irradiated air and is uninhabitable for humans without protective gear. The surviving population now lives in the Moscow Metro, which is described as a labyrinth of railways, tunnels, and bunkers.

if you run games via steam, you can see backend by launching it via cli isntead of gui launcher. Helps when debugging.

AOL online is too complicated for me to use, so I have the neighbor kid come over once a month to make sure my modem still works the same as it did four years ago in 1982

I have no idea what I'm talking about tbh, I had to jot down the word from my BBS I repaired this morning after dialing my telephone company about how my landline is sounding weird when I pick up the receiver.

Could you please tell me what it means? My great-great-granddaughter told me to google it but I'm not so silly as to count a number and expect the answer to appear by time I reach the end.

@Stellar @izaya
Interesting, I thought anything covered by a vtuber made it un-nerdy...

The more I read about Ultima Online, the more I'm aware of something simply missing from modern MMORPGs.
Roleplay. It's even in the name.
In modern MMORPGs, you're an outright alien if you actually roleplayed your cleric/rogue/knight/mage, making up a bacckstory, acting in character when interacting, making choices when stealing prey or helping. But UO had a culture of staying in-character, and making guilds which stood for something other than "let's kill some bosses".
Ultima Online really let you have freedom as a player rather than forcing you on a tour ride to grind specific mobs, then grind some more, with everything else being treated as a monetary sideshow to make more gold. Grinding can absolutely be fun just by itself, provided the combat is good, but basing your entire game upon grinding just to grind more, rather than as a way to explore and benefit from more of what the game offers, is not.
