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

Guys, I think I may be stupid

Money only has value if you like using it to buy food and shelter

Salt enjoyers be like

I thought it was a shoulder with the fingers somehow behind it

Only lick the soldering iron when it’s turned on. That way, the ouchies from the heat cancel out the ouchies from the lead poisoning. Trust me, I’m an expert at licking things other people say shouldn’t be licked

Looks like the Cs are being Bs again…

What an insane thing to read with no context

I lost my health along the way. Two days ago,I fell ill with a cold. I can only hope that resting in bed right now will allow me to regain what I once had…

Look at Dr Money over here, anything above 0°C will keep the pipes from freezing and is technically survivable

Don’t be ridiculous, the UK would never do anything to harm vulnerable nations /s

My eyes are getting worse over time, so I get new glasses every four or five years. When I switch glasses, I suddenly realise that trees have individual leaves, they’re not just a green blob. Anything over ~1.5 meters away is blurry without glasses. I can see fine for most things but I can’t read or tell the time or see fine lines at those distances

Day After Tomorrow was about two days before its time

Imagine turning down $800 an hour because you don’t want to work in a warehouse /s

Purple, it’s nice

You can probably still be emotionally attached to someone, even if they’re not around anymore?

I can be, and I would like to be, but it never seems to work out that way… Part of my question is to work out what other people do and what I’m doing wrong.

Yes, that sounds like me. I’ve only really had it happen twice where people have come back into my life, but one of them is now my best friend again after I didn’t see or talk to them for years. The other example moved away for about eight years and although we were close (before or after) we did just carry on the same relationship we had before.

Thanks ;)

I am ND, so part of this is trying to diagnose what I’m doing wrong and part of it is trying to understand what everyone else is doing haha

It’s true that I don’t seem to need company in the same way that lots of people do, but I don’t think that’s the issue here. I have good friendships with people in person, but can’t seem to keep them up online. I think I’m just not as comfortable / good at talking over text for the more in-depth and interesting conversations that are worth having friends for
