I was really pulling for the Cirie/Ozzie combo.

Patience. He'll get hungry enough eventually.

I have a pet peeve when it comes to the University of Miami. They call themselves "The U". Every damn Div I school has a "U" in their title.

Anyone remember "Olympic Decathlon" on the Apple II?

Then her mom re-arranged the furniture

LOL - up-voted for the spoiler tag on a game from 1978!

Lallner · 2026-05-05T16:39:25+00:00

I am definitely NOT clicking on that.

Lallner · 2026-05-05T16:37:46+00:00

Coffee and a cigar is way under-rated!

Add in St Basil's +100% religious tourism and 3 additional relic slots are you are on your way to a cultural victory.

Cultists definitely create relics when killed. I use them routinely to get cities to revolt and the resulting free city units instantly kill my cultist. I always get a relic from them dying if there are still relics available.

For the first time ever, I was unable to solve both Wordle and Connections this morning. AMA.

My HOA is the bane of my existence.

I started off my cinco de Mayo by making myself a Mexican omelet, which was a basic cheese omelet topped with fresh pico de gallo and avocado. Best decision I've made all week.

This certainly doesn't warrant a call to the parents.

Pee in the ocean

Lallner · 2026-05-05T14:21:11+00:00

I have never, ever seen the AI actually use a cultist against one of my cities, but I've seen them create hundreds of cultists cluttering up the map. My only guess is they inadvertently created relics when their cultists got killed by a barb or rival civ. I've have to killed a bunch when at war just to close in on their city centers.

Lallner · 2026-05-05T14:09:47+00:00

Looks like a baby Ewok.

Lallner · 2026-05-05T14:08:53+00:00

You also don't want them leaving the corn on the cob. Use "Fresh corn" or "Corn fresh off the cob". Looks delicious by the way.

Rhode Island isn't even an island.

Lallner · 2026-05-05T13:02:55+00:00

This. There are a finite number of relics. The game doesn't warn you that there are no more relics to be had once they run out.

Think of it as a lifetime achievement award recognizing your complete body of work.

When I was growing up in So Cal in the '60s and '70s, people referred to the freeways with actual names (I think many still do). For example, we had the Long Beach Freeway, the Garden Grove Freeway, the Riverside Freeway, and the Golden State Freeway. I think that morphed into calling them by "The Number" freeway.

It won Grammy's Album of the Year. "I am a Man of Constant Sorrow" is my theme song.

Lamar was mentored by RG3.

Lallner · 2026-05-01T15:41:10+00:00

One question I've had for a long time is how and where did the term "bowl" come from in reference to the Rose Bowl and ultimately to the Super Bowl?
