@misko: Depends on when in 1942.
Japan made significant land gains in SE Asia in the first few months of the year, the Phillipines are lost by early May.
Germany gains Sevastopol and the Crimea by mid-year.
North Africa goes back and forth between El Alamein and Tobruk.
Towards the end of the year, the Vichy French in Algiers and Morocco switch sides to the Allies.

If I had time, I could crunch some rough numbers......

... 'course, it's still probably a fairly small percentage, overall. Depends on how/if you count ocean ownership. Only, what, about 30% of the earth is land? And of that, there were pretty big swaths that I don't recall really being involved all that much.

Politicians exist for the sole purpose of being assassinated.

"How can you call yourself a philosopher politician if no one has deigned to try to kill you for your beliefs?"

... the sad is I can't remember who said the original of that. But it is a line, and a lot of the greatest philosophers of our history did have a few murder attempts at them. S'kinda' an interesting thought.

It is. Rather hard to sleep. When there's stuff crawling in the walls a few inches from your head.

What the hell is up with my luck, here? Two places in as many years, stuff has decided it likes living inside the walls of my sleeping quarters. Or at least the place I sleep has had thin enough walls it becomes audible. Becoming an annoying pattern.

Not sure about fixing. I mean. I'm not sure what choices you have, beyond fire, poison, and tearing apart the house to rebuild it with thicker walls. Better insulation or whatever. None of which are very appealing.

Maybe I should get a cat or... something. I think I wouldn't mind it as much if I knew the thing(s) in the walls was my loyal minion(s) and was feasting on intruders.

Well... sorta' more mobility than the commando. Command's roll is most definitely the best mobility talent currently in the game, but he's only got the one. Miner has three, but one doesn't do much that jump doesn't (in terms of dodging, mind), his forward dash is actually kinda' iffy (that pause at the end is a PitA, it locks you onto a single plane, and it feels kinda' short) and the backdash is, like. It cancels the forward dash in terms of getting arse out of sling

Unless you turn away from the direction you want to go but... s'kinda' awkward. Doable, but awkward. Thing I've liked most about the miner so far is the effective doublejump and th'fact that you can whack small things a ledge below you. That's kinda' helpful. And pick-dude does seem to have slightly higher base ground speed, though, which is something. Higher base damage overall feels like, too, but range is a tremendous thing.

One thing I can't seem to be sure of. Does the base pick swing normally have a little bit of range to it? I didn't notice any my first go, but my latest definitely did and I'm wondering if it's inbuilt or was coming from an item (the drill, maybe?).

Ohey, that wiki has links to more fangames.

... and now I have a touhou fangame folder. Down the rabbit hole we go, whee~

Yup.

It could still be a fractal. Go deeper.

... I mean, it's not. But it could be. Art like that's pretty awesome. Be kinda' like dot art, just... mathy.

Buddy, this is science. If you've stopped at three tries your sample size is entirely too small for the experiment to be statistically significant.

Come back after the hundredth or so attempt, depending on sample size.
