I think Endless Legend, also made my the Humankind devs Amplitude, was the first to introduce districts. Granted, the bones of 4x games, in general, are based on Civilization 1, at the very least.

I wish they took the neolithic era from Humankind. That’s such a cool super early game element to the game rather than ‘settle your first city ASAP or you’re screwed’.

I guess a weak jobs report here is also part of it?

I can see it looking like that, but I’m pretty sure it’s because BD-1, the little mini droid you run around with, is up on his shoulder obscuring part of the arm/hand area.

He’d just need to have some acrylic flab sculpting armor like Immortan Joe.

Maybe I can help!

It’s very small by land area, but it’s 18th largest in population. That’s not large, large, but it’s also not a smaller state.

Agreed all on your second paragraph. Thankfully, at least, there’s a step in the right direction happening, belated and incomplete though it may be.

Awesome thank you so much for the pointers!

Heck yeah, this sounds fantastic. Are you able to give me any pointers in a response or DM on how to move forward with getting it all set up? My wife never had a 64 so she never got to experience the game. Ideally, we’d play it together each of us on our Steam Decks. I’ve bought All Stars or whatever it’s called on the Switch but the prospect of us playing through the game together almost like a couch Co OP experience is extremely enticing. Obviously, you’re not responsible for me figuring everything out so if there’s a good forum or even video link discussing it, I’d be most appreciative.

I know St Ives uses crushed up walnut shells and apricot pits for theirs.

But… It’s your post taking about negativity, so you’re saying your post about negativity on Lemmy is evidence of negativity on Lemmy? Or the fact the current vote count is negative?

Huh. Maybe it’s the communities/posts I’ve visited but I wouldn’t agree with your assessment of an inherent negativity/hatefulness. Do you have examples we can discuss?

Agreed on all counts. Last episode was the weakest, in my opinion, but overall is a very good show.

I love that they’re located in Gary.

I don’t know the answer to that, exactly, but I see shit loads of people with Android phones using air pods.

Fuck yeah. What’s your preferred place to get from? Johnnies is the one I’m most familiar with and enjoy.

It’s goofy as hell. House members and senators can get donations and contributions from people anywhere. I’m sure it could be funneled to circumvent, but I would expect laws that candidates be only allowed to get them from entities and people in their geographic constituencies would at least have some kind of positive effect.

My kids termed that cinnamon bunning. :D

"One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, 'Well, sir,

Imma stop it right there. It’s always possible that someone, out of a general professional attitude or decorum, used that ‘sir’ wording, but I’ll be damned if I’ve heard Trump use that word in a context that doesn’t sound like he’s just making some bullshit up.

I mean, he pretty much always sounds like he’s making some shit up, but my point stands!

Season 0 has some stress to it but overall I felt like it was a great and smooth send off for the Pandemic Legacies. Season 1 was excellent as the first if you’ve played the standard or expansions of the standard game, it starts from that base familiarity and does a great job introducing the legacy concepts. Season 2… It just starts weird and gets fucking crazy from there. I enjoyed it probably the most of the three. It was pretty white knuckle in many of the months. We started logging both the hero deck and the infection deck and plotting our odds of when we would be pulling cards. It was deeply satisfying in a stressful way that most other board games don’t scratch. I’ve seen some people on the board games subreddit talk about how it was a push over and wasn’t difficult and I’m like did we play the same game? I didn’t feel like we are poor gamers and if anything those kinds of comments make me think of the Rimworld communities where people are saying the game just isn’t satisfying or challenging unless they’re playing naked brutality ice sheet with Randy random as the story teller.

Basically this is my long winded, unnecessary reply to you just to say yes, Season 2 is crazy!
