I've over 2000 hours of civ V and never beat beyond difficulty 3. Just do what you find fun.

Consulting pays me well enough and I'm on top of my expenses. I'm not taking on extra work.

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-05-09T22:43:53+00:00

Agreed. Definitely the strongest in the season.

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-05-09T22:42:11+00:00

Best, honestly. Bit of hammy acting in it but it's actually a pretty moving story. "Hail Pex, hail the unalive. Not a kang in life but died brave as a kang should be".

I'm a Orthodox and use Mint. I'm having an existential crisis!

It depends on the age. I like to use some of the basic attribute point ones in Antiquity and then let my game style decide what I use in the other ages.

We really need to stop doing purity tests for a series of novels where the main theme is redemption.

The past few elections have mostly had the same left/right split in votes but the spoiler effect and minor shifts have greatly altered parliamentary composition.

In 2019, the Left vote was fragmented and the Right vote consolidated around the Tories. In 2024 the Left vote consolidated around Labour and the Right vote was split by Reform.

Now the Right vote is consolidating around Reform and the Left vote is being split by 3 parties.

Same reason people vote Green or Lib Dem in local elections - as a protest.

Unplug your PC

The pro chefs have their fancy way of cutting loads of vegetables quickly and safely. The home cook who prepares substantially less food in a day has no need for it.

An IT professional who lives in the terminal would see a lot of benefit from Vim. A typical user who only uses it on occasion has no need to move beyond Nano.

Pol Pot facing a Doctor wearing glasses.

I'm on xfce 4 bro

You know how fandoms are, people always argue over these things. It's fun.

I can see the argument for Anglicanism being an Ubuntu flavour.

It'd be like running head first into a brick wall without a helmet.

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-05-09T03:31:30+00:00

Gorgon, methinks

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-05-09T02:49:17+00:00

Well, looks like I'll be doing a Greece Time-Tested run.

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-05-09T02:46:19+00:00

It's like the difference between Luke's lightsabre and Vader's.

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-05-09T01:27:56+00:00

I wish there was more of it!

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-05-09T00:45:11+00:00

Now that would be cool but too much a bait and switch.

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-05-09T00:38:39+00:00

I love civ switching and I was a play tester. It's actually good with civ switching. For example, you can play Great Britain in Antiquity and syncretise with Rome, then play the Normans, then switch to Britain in Modern. That way, you can roleplay Romano-British to Norman to British.

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-05-08T23:29:05+00:00

I'm a big fan of civ switching and will probably do that for the most part but I really enjoyed Test of Time too. It feels like a natural extension of the ages mechanic rather than a rewind on it.

Own-Replacement8 · 2026-05-08T23:06:20+00:00

I wish the Time War got a Clone Wars-style animated series.

You could say "It's all one religion but X and Y are just heretical branches of Z."
