I hate that in Stellaris there is no true egalitarian ascension paths. All paths assume forceful assimilation of other species to your path. And playing without any ascension path is like intentionally handicapping yourself. Haven't played Stellaris for a looong time, tho. Might try a non-ascension run

I'm also really good friends with a machine collective intelligence. they're probably going to try to assimilate us, but for now they are sharing a lot of research sooooooo we'll see how that ends.

Free parks of cards were pretty normal in the 1990s especially for flights and hotels.

In-flight entertainment systems were becoming common on flights, so it makes sense to advertise.

Furthermore most families had a pet Mario, before they went extinct. So it's something people could relate to.

Its definitely the result of something being translated using a thesaurus and a lack of background with English idioms

Its unambiguously the phenomenon of something being converted utilizing a thesaurus and a vacancy of exercising with British shibboleths

We poured over this mystery for quite a while and the best we could come up with is that it is an equivalent for "smashing" like in the British sense ... "Simply smashing!"

How about you?? What interpretation did you settle on?

Can't get over the "obviously" that precedes it hahahah

I DO believe that i will feel the special softness! Had to look up the word larruping to check if it was a word in a dictionary, it is actually!

As always, good stuff thanks

I am always wishing to do stuff but my restrictions (usually money and lack of adequate material lol) stall the plans. I am wishing to assemble a batocera box, just to play old console stuff, I guess I will never pass the 5th generation.

And just to add a personal drama to it, I am kind of trying to build good habits and videogames hardly help when you don't have a good routine going on. My folks in the other hand, have plenty of time to enjoy emulation healthly enough, like it's good for the mind and all that...

I've tried this game a couple of times as this was a staple on abandonware games.

Never played it on the 90s.

Never got it right.

Maybe the learning curve was steep, dunno. I always got so many incidents that I couldn't respond, spend money not knowing how to do it, my soldiers getting killed too easy/the game mechanics got me fucked everytime, not sure if I got any missions 100%.

But the current state of things reminded of this lol

The story from my first full playthrough (spoilers):

After countless restarts, I finally reached the stage where you kinda steamroll anything, I still hadn't understand a lot of mechanics, so my strategy and tactic were lacking at best, none of my choices was really optimal, but at some point I begun to feel that I finally nailed it. And when I've figured out what should I do to advance the plot, I've started rushing it to finally reveal to myself what it's all about. So, as soon I've got able to launch final assault on that base on the Mars, I thought "Let's deal with it, we're ready!" We wasn't ready. Half of the team was panicked or dominated shortly after the landing, few was manage to get inside the base and finally only one soldier left running from any threat through alien corridors. And then I've saw that brain thing - that's it, I should probably forget about anything and just shoot that alien brain thing! So that one soldier was standing and shooting this thing for several turns while under the fire of several high-level aliens. And they did it! By sheer luck we managed to finish that brain before they got us! How happy I was finally seeing the ending "cut-scene"! Memories like that are with you forever.

Planescape: Torment is my favorite game of all times. The most positive gaming experience. Hour-long dialogs, the setting. It's like a good well-written interactive book. It has it's own flaws, but you forget and forgive them because of excellent story, writing and setting. In the most of RPG games you can kinda predict what to expect from this or that interaction. In Planescape: Torment you can't. That's the best part. Each dialog, each interactions with some random object is so surprising and rewarding.

If you're looking for a video game that's chill and relaxed, there are many options to choose from. Some popular games in this category include "Stardew Valley," a farming simulator that allows you to build a life on your own terms, and "Animal Crossing: New Horizons," a life simulation game where you can create your own island paradise.

If you're looking for something more fast-paced but still chill, you might try "Rocket League," a high-octane hybrid of soccer and cars, or "Overcooked," a multiplayer cooking game where you work together to prepare and serve dishes in a busy kitchen.

In addition to video games, another way to unwind and relax is to engage in sports betting. One popular betting option is BTTS, which stands for both teams to score. This type of bet is simple to understand and can add an extra level of excitement to watching a sporting event.
