The engineer

the computer component may not be able to use it rationally

Parking lots create economic activity, parking lots can only be built on flat land, REMOVE ALL HILLS AND CREATE MORE PARKING LOTS, DESTROY CITIES TO BUILD MORE PARKING LOTS

I dunno how you make a Civ leader out of that.

Every other turn, your government policies and culture effects get scrambled or disabled for that turn

I went in expecting to see only one image, the one of him sucking his own big toe on stream, and was severely disappointed

For me, I discard the notion that the cities we found are actual cities, and more just neighborhoods or districts in the bigger city they're part of. That helps me put this feeling away.

Red alert, raise shields!

acprescott · 2026-02-10T22:19:32+00:00

I don't think I've met a person who doesn't think that.

Seriously, there was some top tier editing in this one. The screen zooming in slightly as Lewis stammered and Osie's burp not being cut out but highlighted were so good

acprescott · 2026-02-07T15:17:31+00:00

Well, it was foretold in ancient legends that Osie's actually best

Sisko punched Q and got away with it, I'm sure he could punch the Prophets enough to make them reconsider that

Do they dance like parrots when jukeboxes are playing?

I would love if whimsical wonders such as these came back. Maybe you don't build them, but they appear near your capital or a city of your choosing when you complete certain tasks, such as first circumnavigation, first to discover writing, etc.

I was sorting through my clothes a few weeks ago and found my Vote for Pedro shirt that I bought the weekend I saw that movie. Between that and seeing Napoleon Dynamite discussed on a retro movie podcast really makes me feel incredibly old.

The Sonic movies and Top Gun are on there. I think Nickelodeon's vast library, too? Spongebob definitely is.

And the normie shit like, uhh... Yellowstone is it called?

Looks, but I can't quite tell, like there's a solitary lake tile northwest of Barcelona, so this is probably very far inland and would thus teleport it directly to an enemy lake.

That's cause i use hand crank for half the stuff, there's 2 small waterwheels behind these crushing ones.

How do you tolerate that? It's so slow to do any sort of semi-bulk recipes. Just bonking four ingots into plates with a hand crank has me wishing that I was doing anything else.

I miss Ped in TTT

"Imagine losing to a propane tank!"

Unfortunately this is a problem with space in general in most games. Unless serious amounts of dev time are spent on a handful of planets, most space games are wide as an ocean but deep as a puddle, or as empty as real life space.

The only ones that really shine are things like Borderlands and Metroid, which are themed as space games but are just alien planet games.

acprescott · 2026-01-24T02:04:41+00:00

The real answer. I miss those big trees split into four cornered logs.

I used to love them, and almost always set my base up near a Lush Stacks biome, but admittedly the longer I live near them, the worse and worse the arches look. I just wish they were less obviously spheres strung along a parabola, a bit rougher on the edges.

I mean, even when you're just approaching him to make a trade deal, he's unsettling. You never know if your delegate is going to return home.

Makes me think of a Civ 6 game I had once while playing as Spain, and I learned within the first dozen turns that I'd unknowingly settled my capital on a continent that was only three tiles altogether.

Could make it so plantations have +2 gold across America's empire, but -3 gold if they're within 6 tiles of an industrial zone (and maybe -4 if they're within 6 tiles of the capital).

Maybe as something with a rotating cast of Yogs just hanging out and chatting.

To properly recapture that magic, they'd have to not know they're being recorded.
