2016 really sucks

So I was feeling bad before new year, got a bit better, than got worse again. I still feel like absolute shit, so as you can expect, I didn't do much at all. If I don't cough up my lungs and die, I should resume work on the game this week. :(

  1. No MDQP! You tried to write three words in a row. Don't do that! In all seriousness, get well soon. Don't over do it. Okay? :D

    1. I am slowly getting back to it. I finally have the bad ending for messing up the final mission in place, so that's something, at least. XD

      Back to not doing anything for a couple of months! :p

    1. I am still spitting out what remains of my lungs in the form of disgusting goo, but it's getting better, thanks. :)

    2. Someone send him some peanut butter, for the love of God!

    3. Is peanut butter good when you are sick? :p

    4. It's full of energy, which probably helps against a systemic viral infection, but if you've got a sticky, dry cough you don't need a mouthful of sticky peanut butter and if you've got a stomach upset you should probably drink 2l of Coca Cola then eat nothing for 24 hours, not feed it peanut butter.

      Eating nothing for 24 hours *then* drinking the Coke will probably kill the bacteria even harder but take my word for this: it HURTS.

    5. Eww. Coke... Bah!

    6. Exactly. Vile stuff, and those intestinal bacteria will be swimming in it. They don't stand a chance!

      You could use Dr Pepper instead, I suppose.

    7. Yeah, that's much better. ^^

      Random PB fact for the day: Peanut butter is food that doesn't spoil (though it can go rancid and some people like the taste of that). It's like cereal--it's a very dry foodstuff which seems counter when you're eating smooth, creamy peanut butter. Hmm, I want some honey now (another food that doesn't spoil, lol).

    8. Fun fact: I think I can't even buy Dr. Pepper in my town. XD

      I have honey, you have peanut butter, life is weird like that. XD

  3. Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you.

    1. Ah-ah. Was replaying Alpha Centauri not too long ago for the 100000th or so time, still the best TBS game for me. Also, I just love how the factions are actually a little more coherent with their ideals, as opposed to other TBS, where they stab you whenever it is convenient to them.

    2. Yeah, I knew I could count on you to get that reference :) I haven't found a better game of that kind yet. So glad gog managed to get a license for it, I still have my old boxes but installing it on modern systems was getting tricky.

      Seriously though, best wishes.

    3. ...I'm still looking for that expansion...

    4. All in one: http://www.gog.com/game/sid_meiers_alpha_centauri

      ... I just delayed the release of the end of Part 1 by about two months, didn't I? >.<

    5. Don't worry, like you, I have the boxed version and the GOG version (I never owned the expansion before I got myself the GOG version, though).

      Fun fact: AC was gifted to me by a friend because he wasn't too much into TBS, and he didn't want to just throw it away. I tried it once, kind of liked it, but didn't get too deep into it, then I tried it a second time, fell in love, and since then I fire it up almost every year, best casual gift ever. XD

    6. I'm determined to find the box version (without having to an exorbitant, ridiculous price). It's the principle of the thing.

      What about the Space Empires games? I heard it was supposed to be another really good 4X series. I think I tried of them but it never really popped for me.

    7. +one: I think I tried one of them...

    8. Well, finding the boxed version is probably going to be a bitch, I assume ebay might have it, if you trust ebay.

      I gave a bash at Space Empires too, if I remember correctly, but while it wasn't bad it wasn't exceptional either, IMHO. I tend to prefer Master of Orion 2 when it comes to space 4x, anyway. Endless Space isn't bad, but they made the AI cheat in obvious ways (all AI cheat, but if you make it obvious it ruins the fun), and they sadly limit expansion, forcing you to research tech to avoid huge moral penalties.

      I have galactic civilizations 2 installed, but I have yet to play it, I don't have enough time, damn it! XD
