    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    There is a lot of tin in Glassflats, just gotta find a good route. I think I did the south side of the zone, from gobos over to the skelly black tower, avoiding the crystal spire "forests" until iron. Iron is easy to get near the leaning black tower to the north. Edit: Oh, the rock outcropping...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Out of the west gate, turn left and go to the shore, there are 4 spawn spots for copper, 3 of which can be seen from standing on 1 rock, the 4th is down by the shore. Nodes in this game seem to have X amounts of nodes are always up. So if enough people are farming ore, it makes those almost...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    ProTip (maybe): Mem all your spells then put the spellbook in the bank. Disclaimer: I just found this out before logging, so don't know if there are any hiccups. Also saw a Ogre Fighter named @Gravel at the forge earlier, almost sent a tell "FoH Brah?!". I'm only level 5, but almost up to steel...

    Tell that to the Gettysburg cast and crew. Also, they can be be both, instead of almost total fiction, like Gibson and Scott movies. When a vast majority of people that watch these movies only get their "history" through them, the writers and directors are teaching people bad history. Which is...

    Let's build some pools!

    Yeah, as a not-geologist, it looks very concreate like except for those large river rock looking pieces embedded in it. Google says there is a sedimentary rock called conglomerate that years of playing Dwarf Fortress didn't prepare me for, so it might be that. Closest picture I could find...

    You may have read that wrong. He meant Horde and Ally cant be in the same group to queue for PvP or get paired up on the same team. It will be traditional Horde VS Alliance.

    Rimworld

    Funny creative use of mechanics that makes me want to play a game to try it. I played a couple games, back in EA where I would build a base at the coldest disembark I could find, looking for as close to -100 in the winter as the map had in hills/mountains. Prepare Carefully with full cold...

    Superman: Legacy (2025)

    The 6.5 rating was supposed to be the meta joke of good movies are only rated on a 3 point scale of 7 -10 (anything below a 7 sucks). I look at movies more on how many times I would be willing to rewatch a movie. For GOTG1 it may be unlimited (after 10+ times I'm still not sick of it), but for...

    Let's build some pools!

    Didn't notice when looking at the pool damage, but yea, with that huge agregate in the cross section, it looks like a dump of old concrete from when the house got built. Although I can't say I've studied at a lot of boulders when I was in the mountains (ski resorts, Grand Canyon, Black Hills...

    Remember going to the video store and renting "old" movies that looked cool, then thinking you watched them all on TBS/USA? Pepperidge Farm's remembers. Our local Fox network (I think it was) ran a whole bunch of cartoons after school that were no longer being made. Scooby-Doo was obviously the...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    It's more clear to use FIAT and non-FIAT as differentiating terms. Currency and money are used interchangeable in the vast majority of the English speakers lexicon. Even the word FIAT has gone though changes over the decades, but most people are more likely to understand your thoughts using...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    What do you think it is? Adoption as a currency has been the number one driving factor of Bitcoin for as long as I remember. The community pushed that narrative hard and some nations have actually made it an officially accepted currency.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Because currency trading has been a thing since forever and people have made fortunes doing it (and also lost fortunes doing it). Buying and selling Bitcoin works the same way.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Exactly this. I had at least two opportunities to get into bitcoin "on the ground floor" but it doesn't depress me knowing that I passed them up. One or two dudes in my WotLK WoW guild used to farm coins while he/they slept, I think they were less than $1 dollar a coin at the time (fuzzy...

    Even though the Halfling Rangers start off with limited crafting trainers, I think it was still the best place to be this test. There was no lag and not much of a crowd, really, when compared to my one visit to the Human area, which was stripped clear of mobs and chugging hard due to all the...

    When I worked at the alcohol store in college the explanation they gave was that the high end alcohol have better quality control for impurities, which translate into into a less severe hangover. At least up to a point and depending on the type. It is supposedly most noticeable in rum, brandy...

    Only one I know if assling Bard has a bone turn in that gives 1s but no xp. The Hemp/Cotton/Gnoll Eye are best bet, and I think they are all in the Human city. I guess it depends on what you want out of it. EQ is so far in my past that 1 weekend every 4 to 6 months was all I needed for a...

    Just like this (in CA), even in solid looking houses there can be deterioration in the foundation wall, so it doesn't take much water to push it off. Different crawl space: This CA company uploads pictures of shit they see out there, to get an idea of how large sections of the US build, when...

    Civil war and hyperinflation stemming from the military coup in 2021. The military junta government has been accused of genocidal tendencies on their minority Muslim population. I thought they had a bunch of sanctions of them already, so tariffs are a bit surprising.

    Adrullan Online (Formerly Evercraft)

    Yeah, I think the game overall is faster than the vanilla EQ I remember, but that was a long time ago, I was a kid, and everything was new. So I was slower than most (probably). In the last alpha I focused on cloth and it started to get slower once I got over 100 (or maybe 150?). I had to start...

    Adrullan Online (Formerly Evercraft)

    Not essential at all. It's like vanilla EQ, in that the game moves slow enough that tradeskills are a nice little boost for people that like tradeskills, but they are probably a net loss for XP/hour. I like doing it as something different than the mob grind, just like running back and forth...

    I think bard may be the last class to be unlocked, so a lot of people probably mucking about with them. Also, yeah, just like EQ there are a handful of noob quests that have repeatable turn-ins that you can do to boost XP; a few of them offer 1 or 2 copper more than they cost when buying them...
