Was hacked using unmaintained PHP (always keep up your system to date). The entire list of the user emails (yes, there are registered users) is now out there, including the mods. Notably those with @edu or @gov adresses. It's not going to look good if you dodged DOGE just to get caught being a...

Most people have made the comparison with Mother of Learning at first, but it is extremely different.

(by the way, the sequel "After 1177 BC" is horribly dry and boring for most people who enjoyed the first)

That is mostly because you're expected to be able to solo everything, except group-designed dungeons and raids (and some modern MMOs have dungeons that can be tackled solo as soon as you overlevel them just a little bit). If you need to be able to solo everything, you need to have a bit of...

There are. Pity 99% of them are mobile/PC ports of asian grind/P2W fests that die within 2 years.

Guess what? You Americans named this after the mount (or rather, the island whose name is the same as its main feature).

Did read most of the series when it was on RR. Guy is a bit of weirdo (of course), which makes his actions always feel bizarre. But yes, sitting and meditating will go on par with the course. All those ultra-high-end LitRPG turn into cultivation-adjacent stuff at one point because the author...

Started playing, got distracted by something else, and never started it back.

Ben & Jerry's was always about marketing, not quality.

Is that sound from Slim Whitman? Ak Ak Ak!!!
