          Flemish Revolution is also a unique tech introduced in the Lords of the West expansion. It’s pretty much like the God Power Ragnarok in Age of Mythology. I Think CrackedLinuxIso was referencing that, not early vil rushing.

    I sometimes wonder why AoE 1 never gets any love in the present day the way AoE 2 does… I’m sure 2 is probably better but I just spent so much time playing 1 that it feels way better to play that now for that reason alone. I had a go at 2 when I got a disc for it with a pack of cereal once and it was good but it just wasn’t right somehow, lost some of the simple charm of 1.

      I think the gameplay of 2 was more “complete” and streamlined. I briefly played 1 but the spent thousands of hours in aoe2 and literally forgot what aoe1 was even like. When I went briefly tried 1 again it felt clunky. That said nothing wrong with enjoying aoe1.

        Yeah, I think basic stuff like production queues were missing. AoE 2 had the right balance between automation and skill. Nobody enjoys learning the skill to click the barracks at precise intervals to produce another guy.

    Here I’m just mad because that shirt is guaranteed to either A be wide as fuck, or B if it fits width wise properly, be at the top of your hips so if you lift your arms it becomes a crop top

      some mmos are up there, but i think aoe 2 is probably one of the most played games still kept active.

      RuneScape is now 24 years old, though it basically remade itself twice.

      wow is 21 years old

      ultima online is still going after all this time, that one’s 28 years old now.

      a few old old games like colossal and Nethack still get updated i guess, but i had to look those ones up. I’d heard of colossal cave adventue, a text based adventure game. makes me wonder how ai dungeon is doing these days…

      Nethack is a ascii graphics based roguelike. some articles claim that’s the oldest still updated game.

          honestly, most mmos that are still getting updated after that long do. one more point for aoe2 it’s still very much the same game

        NetHack is still under active development as we speak. There were 5 commits pushed in the past 2 days. Over the past month there were 148 commits to NetHack-3.7 (the current development branch), 197 files have been changed and there have been 5,136 additions and 4,251 deletions.

        The NetHack Wiki has a nice summary of the changes coming in NetHack 3.7.0. For comparison, NetHack 3.6.0 was released in December 2015. I’m hoping 3.7.0 will come out this year, so that we might get in just under 10 years between major releases!

        I have been playing off and on since 2009. It’s a game I will always come back to, I love it so dearly. Despite its reputation for brutal difficulty, I find it very cozy and relaxing to play, probably because it feels as familiar as an old pair of slippers by a warm fire. For people who know how it works inside and out, the game is not particularly difficult, although there remain some rather stubborn random deaths that can hit anyone (especially early traps) and are almost impossible to avoid.

            Definitely do check it out! But if it’s your first time ever playing NetHack be forewarned: the game does not mess around with beginners, it loves to bounce them! So don’t beat yourself up! That’s just NetHack doing its thing!

          Maybe I can finally get around to beating it this year. Closest I ever came was a basically unkillable wizard but I couldn’t quite find the stuff I needed to start the ascension attempt.

          huh, i didn’t realize it was that old. so yeah, there’s a decent number of mmos still getting updated from a little over 20 years ago. wow is one of the younger of the one mmos in that category for sure.

        First time I tried the “racecar” cheat to get the car with the rocket launcher on top, it got wolod by the enemy and turned on me.

      I can’t believe that companies don’t have a deal with RedRubble or TeeFury or whatever to make shirts of any achievement for any game on their system. My wife big-time wants a shirt commemorating the fact that she fucked The Emperor in BG3.

      I had a Shadow of the Colossus t shirt that I really liked. It was just a black shirt with the silhouette of the first colossus, the landscape, and Wander made by bleaching against a stencil. It didn’t sau the name of the game or anything, but if you have played it you’d immediately recognise the scene, and if you haven’t it just looked like a fairly ordinary shirt with a big monkey-like silhouette on it
