Since a lot of time has passed since the old thread was made and all the old servers apparently got nuked by the hosting service, I have decided to create a new one on the Aternos account that I have registered back in the Bunkerchan days. Just like the previous one, it runs on one of the newer versions (1.19.2) of the game with a simple custom modpack that contains tech mods like Mekanism and the Thermal series, as well as some that add new elements to the game world as a whole such as Biomes O' Plenty and Aquaculture. Some previous additions like Pam's Harvestcraft and Chisel had to be pruned however due to lack of a 1.19.x version or being too resource extensive.

Instructions on entering the new server:
>Download UltimMC https://nightly.link/UltimMC/Launcher/workflows/main/develop
>Download the modpack https://gofile.io/d/vQSpcg
>Extract the UltimMC archive anywhere you like
>Launch UltimMC
>Create an account record in the UltimMC accounts section in top right (no Microsoft account required)
>Install the modpack through Add instance > Import from .zip
>Launch the newly "LeftyCraft" created instance
>Add “leftycraftreborn.aternos.me” into your server list and join the game

To start up the server in case it is down:
>Log into aternos.org with account “leftypoluser” (password: solidarityforever)
>Press the “Start” button

It has recently come to our attention that the users of /games/ are seeking a reliable method of communication for online play and general conversation about games. I am unsure if anyone is aware, but, there currently exists and unoffical matrix room specifically for this located at: https://matrix.to/#/#leftypolgaming:matrix.org

Since joining to my Minecraft server has proven to be quite a headache for a lot of players, I want to propose the board admins to host a server for its free, open-source alternative: Minetest (minetest.net).

The prime upsides of this would be:
- Much less resource consumption on both client and server end due to Minetest using an engine written C++ rather than Java.
- Extremely deep and wide maps compared to Minecraft, with the estimated maximum size being 60000 chunks on every axis. Minetest's terrain generator also creates caves and mountains much larger than any seen in MC even after the Caves & Cliffs update.
- Ease of moddability due to the game's modular nature and a built-in modding API based using the Lua language, as well as automatic mod fetching from the server eliminating the need for players to download mods beforehand. Also, the game does not need to be quit from when editing mod files, just for the world to be reentered.
- No need for third-party plugins for stuff like sethome and logins as this functionality is already built into the base game.

Thoughts?

Bump. What does anyone think about biome mods like Ethereal?
https://content.minetest.net/packages/TenPlus1/ethereal/
Aside from more grass types and trees it adds stuff like flight potions, crystal material with respective tools and staves. Also I find the Mesecon mod much more versatile than Minecraft's redstone, whats with being able to place the wires vertically and extensibility through Lua mods including even things like Lua controllers.

The hosting problem still holds sadly. Unless either the board host finally agrees to host it or somebody volunteers to I doubt it will anytime soon. At the very least the poll results tell that it would be quite popular if it actually goes online.

Not really, the UNSC never recovers and a lot of insurrectionists survived the war and made rival governments, as per Halo 5's item descriptions. But that was something known since Fall of Reach, a lot of rebels were already in deep hiding from the UNSC so they came out of the war pretty good, especially since their piracy of Covenant vessels has given them an edge on reverse-engineered Covenant tech.

If halo 5 wasn't shit it'd be about Chief defecting from the UNSC to those guys and actually being hunted down for it

I've been waiting to play Halo 2, 3 and Reach since I was literally a teenager and at the ripe old age of 28 I finally got my hands on MCC and finished everything but ODST.

I love this franchise so much it's crazy. I feel sad that I missed out on it in its heyday due to being poor as shit and it's also sad to see how the franchise is being run into the ground by people who don't care but man I fucking LOVE this shit. It has injected more happiness into my miserable ass life than anything I have done in a long ass time.

I'm currently on my second playthrough of Halo 2 on Heroic. Is multiplayer worth a shot? I've heard there are a lot of hackers and ridiculously skilled players who have been playing since the XBox live days but this shit is no bullshit like crack to me. I just love all the characters and guns and lore and etc. it's all just gr8 shit

idk what the MCC multiplayer is like but Halo 2 multiplayer is the quintessential online multiplayer game that set it up for all multiplayer games to come. It's also a rare case where an old game's multiplayer gets to have new life that's officially supported - most services eventually close down and the online becomes abandonware/lost media.

Also a lot (most?) halo fans care more about the multiplayer than the campaigns, for what that's worth.

A lot of Ghoulggins's backstory is kept vague, either to keep the mystery of his character or as sequel bait. Can't say for sure either but I don't think he turned into a Ghoul during the horse ride while the nukes were going off in the background.
Again, this is basically my headcanon but I believe he took his daughter to Vault 31 (or some other Vault-Tec secret facility) to put her into cryo-sleep, was denied entry himself and later turned into a Ghoul.

Why has the average gamer's average skill increased so much since the late 2000s?

I was never good at the games I typically play and lose often in the multiplayer games I play, but I wonder if I was playing multiplayer fpses back then if I at my skill level currently would be decent back then.

- Advancements in learning techniques
- technical research into game source codes yeilding generally applicable discoveries
- bigger library of tactics and skills with vocabulary to describe them
- better hardware responsiveness
- availability of free learning and training resources
- harder indie games have been released
- speedrun culture
- nutrition
- etc..
Similar situation to kids getting better at drawing earlier.

There's a lot of a fair criticisms of it. Some stuff isn't placed logically in the categories you'd think they'd be, inconsistencies with specifying the size of a designation requiring you use -/+/*,uhkm, or wasdx, lack of searching in certain menus without DFhack, mouse controls being in a dogshit state (until recently of course), etc. But it still should've been refined alongside mouse controls instead of the latter virtually superseding it.

I have a weird fascination with this franchise, particularly its fans. How do they remain so loyal when there's been maybe one or two good games in the last two decades in a sea of average-to-terrible garbage released year after year? How did Sega manage to take all the wrong lessons away from their colossal fuckups of the mid-late 2000s?
