Don’t you hate it when your computer gets all bricked up?

Maybe 9 Bit Armies? I feel it’s more similar to C&C than RoN, but I loved the heck out of RoN back in the day and 9BA is pretty fun. The battleships are a hoot, they hit really hard and have range for days, which combines well with the destructible bridges.

Edit: Whoops, did not read closely enough to see you’re on a Mac. 9BA might work, this person seems to have had luck https://www.reddit.com/r/9BitArmies/comments/1azi3ow/how_to_play_9bit_armies_on_macos/?rdt=53318

There isn’t a historical element in 9BA but you do get air & naval units

Now I need to play Timberborn…

Rock and stone!

Maybe check out Roboquest? I was looking for a mindless FPS a few weeks ago (my usual go-to is UT2004, I’m old :]) and the Roboquest demo scratched the itch pretty well. Planning to pick up the full version when I see it go on sale

Belt-fed Biomass Generators and automating Solid Biofuel from wood & leaves really helps with the initial power grind, I’ve been pleasantly surprised with that part of 1.0. I fed the system ~250 wood and the leaves that came with it, and not only found 25 tickets in my Awesome Sink the next morning (sinking half my Concrete production), but the power grid was still up and had ~20min of run time left!

Something about this post detonated my Memmy client, it constantly scrolls down…

I feel all of this so hard lol. I have 3000+ hours in Factorio and still clocked over 1000 across my four Satisfactory saves. The early game and mid is soooo frustrating that it takes me ages to grind through, but the movement, aesthetics, and being able to crawl around my builds like a hamster keep me coming back.

1.0 has some sweet-looking improvements that’ll help all this (Dimensional Depots), but they’re gated behind such late-game tech that I fear I’ll either burn out before I get to them or have nothing left to do with them once they’re unlocked.

Space Age will probably be out before I get there though, so there might be some mods available to help with that by the time I need them

Oh, to see those Loops of Henle…

3008 and its maze of furniture packaging

Eternally trapped within a flat-pack labyrinth

The faculty member probably got nuked from orbit, sponsoring orgs would be horrified to learn that a PI (principal investigator) they funded had misrepresented their credentials that badly.

Does that page have any actual content between the ads?
