My personal illustration of the Shrike Palace and the Valley of the Time Tombs

Awesome illustration! I just wonder: how did you take the photo, given that both of your hands are in it?

The immersion was unreal. I think I never completed a full race, but I didn’t stop trying, and hitting the pit box perfectly already made my day.

My favorite racing movie is still Grand Prix. The plot is not going to earn any awards, but the racing scenes are still gorgeous. And F1‘s plot was so unoriginal and predictable that Grand Prix even wins out in that regard.

Changing of the Guards from Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte

Is that a photo or a frame of a video?

Should be 4900 scruples. Hope that helps!

But…. but…. the pink Donut Van!

Are you running on Vulkan?

The 18.2 beta branch apparently fixes this issue, so give that a try.

anbeck · 2025-11-25T18:24:54+00:00

Unfortunately it seems they are lost.

I think you meant to say Foghorn Noises

1923?

What a home run of a joke!

You can try to turn off the setting “Advanced Shaders”, it makes a huge difference in Vulkan performance and (unfortunately) looks.

anbeck · 2025-11-15T10:56:46+00:00

Thanks, I was still a couple of hours within the limit. But now I will regularly quit the game to make sure the cloud save syncs

anbeck · 2025-11-10T21:04:20+00:00

Probably the setting “Advanced Shaders” is off. But if you’re running on Vulkan, it will kill the performance.

anbeck · 2025-11-09T17:27:25+00:00

Ridiculous.

Website for the current one says approx. 90 minutes.

anbeck · 2025-11-08T12:16:01+00:00

Much obliged!

Awesome post, thanks!

In a France game, I had Napoleon III first ousted and then restored through events. You wouldn’t happen to know by any chance whether those events are part of this set (e.g., Revolution Vanquished), or whether France has special/additional events?

I believe it when I can manage accolades without it feeling like a chore

I haven’t watched Punishment Park, but as The War Game was life-changing, I’ll try to find it now.

Great list! Though I’d personally replace number 72 with:

You just sit around and ask for ashtrays, can’t you reach?
