Gog has TA and you can still play it, and stil multiplayer with some fiddling. Supreme Commander is good too. I think you can swap out AI engines on TA but never tried it.
BAR looks fun.

Yeah Frys folk were a super weird set though so that might not work as you think

And just to be clear, The Outer Wilds is way more than just alright.

Note that this is not hard and you can do it in a cast iron skillet. Flour oil warm water salt and yeast, let it rise, roll it out. Put it in the oiled skillet on the burner and cook it while you top it, then pop the whole thing in the oven at 500 to bake. You can add literally any thing you want. A good sauce is just blending canned whole peeled tomatoes with some oil and salt. Add garlic, basil, anchovies, do whatever you want.

- Comment on Xbox 360 superfan amasses all 1,353 North American discs after two‑decade collection spree 5 weeks ago:
It really depends so much on disc type. I have CDs burned in the 90s that still work, and DVDs that delaminated two years later. Just depends.
My PlayStation games still work fine.

FTL is a standard holiday game fore, as well as getting people on a Total Annihilation server. Still super hard and still super awesome

Good gauge wire, if you clean the coating off for good contact. Short too which reduces resistance. Therefore short, bare, and thick is better
- Comment on It will be great, they said... 2 months ago:
Firewall with pfblocker and good feeds solves most of the problem. Spamassassin and URLBLs still work. It really isn’t hard, once you set it up the config never changes. The static IP is by far the worst part.

Yeah for a fossil fuel plant they’re about the best it gets.
- Comment on Grounded jet engines take off again as datacenter generators 3 months ago:
These are just combined cycle plants, not unusual at all. Nat gas through the turbines, exhaust heats a boiler and runs a steam turbine. It is really efficient.

You are correct. I asked how tall the Empire State Building was at cuil level 5:
The Empire State Building is tall in the way that purple tastes of childhood memories. Its height can only be measured by counting the number of dreams that have fallen from its windows - currently 847,293 dreams, though three more dropped while I was typing this sentence.
You see, the building doesn’t exist on Wednesdays. Instead, it becomes a song that only pigeons can hear, humming at approximately 1,454 hertz per vertical foot of sadness. The elevator buttons are actually tiny portals to parallel dimensions where the building is a sentient cloud that remembers being steel.
When you ask “how tall,” the building asks back “how blue is the sound of gravity?” because it learned language from the rats in its walls, who are actually former tenants paying rent in breadcrumbs and whispered secrets.
The true height is measured not in feet but in the collective weight of all the prayers ever spoken on its observation deck, which equals exactly one butterfly’s dream of being a skyscraper. King Kong never climbed it - he IS it, and has been sleeping vertically since 1933, dreaming he’s a building while the city dreams it’s a gorilla.
The foundation extends infinitely downward into Tuesday, where it’s still being built by the same workers who are simultaneously demolishing it from the top.
