I’ve never confused correlation with causation and I’m not dead. I think I know why

How strong are those spiders that they destroyed an entire castle??!

I feel like the optimal way to achieve a megabase is just to dig out your old laptop and play on that

My 8GB 13-year old Linux laptop and I would like to disagree

Ackchyually, I think you’ll find it’s Donald Trump sucking up all the sunlight and injecting it directly into people’s veins

Just crouch down to simulate moving to a lower line.

Age of Mythology. It’s an RTS game from maybe 20 years ago, although there’s a remastered edition that’s less than a year old. I played the original version and the story and gameplay are both really fun. The controls definitely feel dated and clunky to me now though. I’ve not played the new version but I expect it’s good too.

Specifically, you can play as Norse, Egyptians and Greeks with three main gods and nine(?) minor gods from each pantheon. You build up your civilization / town over several ages, managing your resource gathering and armies. Each age unlocks a new god with a new god power. Each god also has different mythical monsters that you can create such as jackals, hydras, wolves, etc. The original also had Chinese and Atlantians (Greek titans) as DLC, I don’t know if they exist in the new version

Just finished upgrading my Fulgora base today, and yep!! I’m even exporting ingredients back to Nauvis to my main base

Huh, weird. That almost feels like a bug to me.

FYI: any old rail seems to have been converted to “legacy rail” which isn’t the same as normal rail. I found that I couldn’t place my (old) blueprints down on top of (new) rail that I’d placed manually because the tracks aren’t technically the same

I’m doing my first play through trying to get as many achievements as possible. Got my first ever Getting on Track Like a Pro and There is No Spoon whilst getting all of the restriction-achievements other than the no handcrafting on. Very pleased with that! I don’t think I’ve even got the easy speedrun achievement before.

(I know the rocket is easier to launch now, but I didn’t realise when I was playing so I still would’ve got the achievement with the old rocket’s cost)

Looks good! My ship is just a factory I strapped engines and guns onto. I ran out of ammo and power before I got to my destination (lightning planet) and now my ship is in orbit being slowly destroyed and I’m wondering how I’ll get home 😅

Also wondering if I have to build a rocket silo and automate rocket parts again on this new planet. I guess so, since there isn’t a passenger capsule like in Space Exploration to return home in.

I’m going into this mostly spoiler-free and I’m trying to get an achievement for researching an off-planet technology before yellow or purple science, but the only available tech is 1000 science packs. So I’m going I’m under-prepared and have to stay for a long time as my “ship” disintegrates above me 😅

Before you start playing, set an alarm on your phone for when you will stop. When the alarm goes off, do not say “I’ll just finish X before I stop” else you won’t stop. Just save the game and turn it off. You could also set another alarm five minutes before to give you time to finish what you’re doing, if you want.

I enjoy having semi-serious discussions about nonsense like this, so I appreciate RubberElectron’s reply calling me out

If you’re an ornithologist writing a scientific paper, you’d presumably be using a genus + species in Latin rather than any colloquial name anyway, while still acknowledging that they fall under the umbrella term “seagull” for most people. But I’m a descriptive linguist, rather than prescriptive, and that’s really what this meme is about (it’s not about seagulls)

If 90% of the population call them seagulls, and 99% of the population understand what you mean when you say “seagull”, then yes, they are actually called seagulls
