... you lie. Steam is one of the cornerstones of power generation, and for that you are as shackled as any.

Also tea.

And noodles.

And all that other wonderful stuff you make by boiling water.

Boiled water is very versatile.

So thbbt.

Somehow managed to accidentally convince Opera to freak out, nuke my tab groups (but not the tabs themselves), and then promptly crash, causing the buggerup to persist into restart.

I have now discovered that, apparently, if you have enough tabs open in Opera they begin to overlap, rendering it impossible to select (via clicking, anyway) tabs immediately adjacent to the open one.

... might actually need to do some cleanup. Again.

Most notable times to use Body Guards are against any nation that has hireable seducers or assassains in the first place, OR against nations who have several decent flying units.
... or if one of the global assassination rituals goes up. By that point, a few summoned critters (or just particularly tough nationals) guarding your commanders can make the difference between your armies being left stranded and, well. Not. Also a possible salve against someone able and willing to spam earth attack at you.

Vengeful Waters is just one of the most beautiful things ever :3

Rest of 'em are pretty nasty, too. Usually pretty high up the research tiers, but still. S'kinda' struck me, watching folks talk about end-game stuff, that they don't come up in conversation very often. They definitely deserve some love. VW's the obvious one, but wild hunt, the... furies or whatever, etc., etc. They're all pretty nice, even late game.

So Russia got S.H.I.V.s? The US need to devellop MECs!
Fairly sure the US has shivs, too, actually, on top of the ice-traversing dogbots and gods know what else. Africa's got what amounts to flying ones (crowd-control drones). Everyone's got their combatdong in the death robot pie these days.

Forget who's currently nearest to combat-ready exosuits, but I'm pretty sure we're within a few years of that, too, if you want those MECs.

It's only hilarious until you're up against something like C'tis or Sceleria, they send in a skelliespam assassin, and it works.

Well, it's still hilarious then, just not in the same way :P

To add to the healing afflictions thing, there's also a blood ritual (blood feast, at blood 3) that'll do it, which is possibly a nief player's best shot.

Though, with limp, I'd honestly probably recommend just ignoring it. Iirc, a limp doesn't actually hurt your combat effectiveness terribly much. Especially compared to stuff like chest wound, which is basically a combat-character's death knell, unless they're fatigue-less critter.

...Wait, you mean you don't think your computer is strong enough to run it? O_o
... considering it fails on the both the baseline CPU and video card requirements listed on the steam page? Yeah, is fairly likely. It might run, but >10 FPS is... doubtful.

Almost definitely too pretty for this comp.

... putin's koala looks kinda' terrified.

Also terrifying is the fact that sentence sounds like innuendo.

Dunno what the going rate is, but it's not like such things aren't quite common. Lots of sports and leisure magazines run similar gimmicks.

But nah, they won't keep that sort of reputation anymore than truck magazine cheesecake keep a rep as girls who got it on with vehicles. It's fairly normal stuff.

E: Mind you, in the states you usually don't get outright nudity outside of actual porn rags, but eh. Different country. Incidentally, it's arguable whether that should have been linked to...

... yes, it could obviously bypass the portal as well. Just... tap. Portal would just be more fun -- wiggly fingers everywhere.

... really going too far into the discussion bit.

Besides, you're not thinking with portals, Dwarf. Something like that can be done with Pun Pun -- and if rules-based omnipotence can manage "tap everyone in existence on the shoulder" freeform omnipotence definitely can. Stick finger through portal that superpositions finger behind everyone's shoulder, then tap. That stuff's easy.

... so like florida, but better weather and less drugs?

With whatever you can produce in one turn... yeah, sometimes.

But no, the fun one isn't spearman beats tank, it's spearman beats stealth bomber. Which is a hilarious thing that can happen. Civ -- RNG based games in general, honestly -- isn't really a game for those with anger issues :P

... but was it a dry heat or not? Though if brazil, probably not. Which. Condolences. Please try to live.

E: Maybe come up to florida? The lower bits are still getting weather in the 80s if you want scrupulously avoid cold.
