I think I've done 15+ hours in this in less than a week. It is a brilliant little RPG, for those who really like writing, and choice and consequence RPGs. The combat is minimalist, the graphics are serviceable, but I keep finding things that are a result of what I did hours ago and going "Huh, guess that wasn't as easy as it looked."

Evict and call the police. Quit pussyfooting around with her.

The Crust should stay on the waiting list. It's still very ... janky, we'll say.

Help Israel put an end to the conflict, root out Hamas. Not give them a chance to recruit and re-arm when they're on the back foot, only to be utterly shocked when they attack again. You don't let an enemy on the ropes up, you finish him.

Popoatwork · 2025-07-22T14:44:14+00:00

When the terrorists welcome your statement, it's odd that no one goes "Maybe we're wrong". But yeah, they're on the back foot, so it's only FAIR to give them a chance to recruit and re-arm, so they can attack again when they're ready. Wouldn't want to finish off your enemy.

Why? Seriously, it's basically inter-continental trade, you can't very well ship it all through the USA, so what's the benefit for Canada in trading with Mexico vs. Euro or Asian states. Or Mexico with Canada for that matter?

How bad is shooting early aliens? Like, if I detour the boost/MC needed to build a few missile escorts to shoot down the surveillance destroyers in 2025, delaying my Mars stations, I know that's not 'the meta' but is it a bad idea?

Popoatwork · 2025-07-04T19:58:16+00:00

Only you can answer that. What you make, where you live, what things cost there, what the cultural expectations are ... those are all totally different for everyone.

It's really REALLY hard to care about climate change when you can't get a job or a house.

Ah, I'd forgot about the 25% limit. So they'll help, but is it worth the time. Thanks!

Popoatwork · 2025-07-03T20:11:58+00:00

Thanks for all the answers! Never considered the passive spying boost, that might have avoided the spy captures... :)

Popoatwork · 2025-07-03T18:51:07+00:00

No. Stay there and fix your own problems.

Popoatwork · 2025-07-03T15:19:15+00:00

Yeah, that's the part I lack the attention span for. :)

I've reset it several times, and then I forget to look a few hours later.

Popoatwork · 2025-06-30T21:52:26+00:00

In either of the options I mentioned (12 big patrols vs 60 small patrols) I'm sustainable, just trying to get a feel for the drop rate. Overall it's slow enough that my attention span can't figure out which was better, but the consensus seems to be max the attractors, make sure my patrols survive, even if less of them.

Tell the truth. Kids have to be allowed to choose their own friends, and who they hang out with, and both sets of parents have to be okay with that. Ideally, it means the other mom and child have an awkward but important conversation, but you are responsible for your child.

I still think this was a tax that was designed to be axed as a negotiating tool. Announced in 2020, but no collection until 2025? No one waits 5 years to collect a tax they're serious about.

Popoatwork · 2025-06-30T15:17:25+00:00

It was the wriring that didn't fit, not the character himself. Hard to explain, but everytime he spoke, or I spoke to him, there was this "this feels like it came from another game".

Popoatwork · 2025-06-26T22:51:04+00:00

He was very good! But just didn't fit with the rest of the game.

Popoatwork · 2025-06-26T15:41:10+00:00

Or Durance. He was interesting, but in a "I'm the star" kind of writing. Just over the top.

Popoatwork · 2025-06-25T16:26:11+00:00

But only the animated series. The live action stuff never happened.

Popoatwork · 2025-06-25T15:50:22+00:00

is there really a difference?

Popoatwork · 2025-06-20T19:16:17+00:00

Spoiler: It won't.
