Hopefully I\u2019ll have an off-topic section each week. In a bout of nostalgia, I rejoined a browser-based MMORPG I played back in middle\/high school called <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/utopia-game.com\/shared\/\">Utopia<\/a>. This is an old-school thing; there are no videos or graphics. It\u2019s all text and math. There used to be hundreds of thousands of players\u2026now there are like 1600. Since this game is intensely heavy on math, it has always appealed to my spreadsheet heart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">As a kid, with unreliable internet, it was difficult to play the game. Now, as an adult who has a computer job and has a phone, it\u2019s easy to play all the time. I\u2019m having a blast diving deeper into the game\u2019s mechanics and understanding more about how deep the math is. I never realized it as a kid. Obviously. It\u2019s fun to revisit things like this later in life and understand how much more complexity there is to a thing. It\u2019s like re-discovering this thing all over again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Your song of the day is Foo Fighters with In Your Honor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.royalsreview.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Tuesday everyone!
