Welp. I'm all signed up. And I think I squealed out loud. Not a good thing since I'm putting the toddler to sleep.

Honestly, right now it's both. I have a minimum spec machine here (an HP ProBook 44000s laptop) and we die, badly, on all counts. If you have anything with the word 'i7' on it, you'll be fine. No idea about performance on AMD CPUs.

Just take the route of the X Rebirth devs and call it gold, ship it, and let your player base mod in functionality.

Let's be fair here, the whip economy in Civ IV was objectively the most effective way of kickstarting your civilization's long term growth. Hell, if you had cities with tons of unhappy citizens, your (surviving) citizens sometimes ended up being happier for it! In unrelated matters, googling "baleful star" now shows the page for the tag "the Unblinking Eye of the Baleful Star watches over all subjects of the Clockwork Queen" as the ninth result for me. I certainly didn't find that out when I googled for the definition of "baleful".

You know, if you really look hard at that Van Cog painting, it reminds me of a Beholder if you sit and take it in as a whole. I like it. A foretelling of things to come? I think Piss Shivers should be higher on that list. More like #4 or something.

Why "piss shivers"? Do the ageless ones etherealy tickle your prostate while you sleep? Wouldn't cannibalistic savages be more appropriate?

I don't think this is That Kind of game. Seriously, though, he's just trolling, and it is simultaneously the lowest-effort and least-relevant trolling I have ever seen, which is an accomplishment, so kudos as far as that goes.

(Please note that any individual who is working in a barbershop will *also* try to give medical care to nearby folks, probably using whatever is nearby.)
