Fled New Jersey when I was 2 (months) and have only been back to visit relatives a couple times.

The name hurts. Not because of how ridiculous it is, but how I could see that happening now…

I can’t stop saying bro, bro!

The greater good!

Blocking is as valid as silently upvoting imho. It’s not our space, but we can be silent allies.

I’ve been tempted to reply to a a couple posts in support. But am not woman, so upvotes are enough.

The ironing is delicious

Pay for Cool Zone Media. I have no qualms supporting their work, even if most of what I listed to is the work of the Honorable Doctor Reverend Robert Evans.

Lower Decks and SNW are FANTASTIC and some of the best Trek in a very long time. Almost as good as The Orville ;)

I’ve loved that combo for years. Got my grandson hooked on it too!

But… he created a factory whose sole purpose is to release more monsters into the world!!!

Also, there are new Monster Factory videos :)

To shreds you say?

I think you mean the bleginning

You still have Zoidberg… YOU ALL HAVE ZOIDBERG!

Bright blue until I was at least in my teens. Faded to grey by the time I was in my 30s.

It defined a genre. And had some pretty advanced concepts for the time (the first game I played with right-click help pop-ups).

It’s still being worked on, mostly via Caster of Magic. The ‘reboot’ is OK, but a bit too slavish in copying the UI issues.

Or I could just play some sweet Master of Magic (DOS version)… a game so beloved it’s still getting actively modded some 30 years later!

I have such a ridiculous backlog to play. Such guilt.

Same boat here my friend.

1000+ hours, lots of intricate builds. Post Ashlands has been miserable.

With all that, still the best $20 I’ve ever spent in 43 years of gaming.

They’ve gotten progressively more poorly thought out though.

Mistlands is glorious, but so fogged in as to be essentially invisible. I resorted to a mod to increase the value of the wisp.

Ashlands is just a brutal, unfun grind. Not hard, just relentless especially with endless pop-in of enemies. Not to mention even more horrendous performance… 20fps on a very high end system is abysmal (rtx 4090, nvme drive, etc).
