Doing something, feel odd sharp prick in one of fingers, like sticking yourself on a safety pin or whatever. Look down, there's straight up a strand of my hair impaled into my finger, actually jammed past the top layer of the skin like a needle. What the actual fuck.

Looks like that in vids, too. It's a deliberate aesthetic choice on the part of the devs.

I mean, from what I remember of playing it, it is fairly shallow as a 4X, specifically?

... it just also isn't only a 4X, it's a pretty deep simulation game using 4X elements as an interactive layer, which is, like. Fine? That's okay. More than okay, it's one of the best in the industry at what it's specifically doing. Having a problem with that is like kvetching about the city building in the Dominions series or somethin'

It's mostly a space thing, to be fair. A ramp that isn't as much or worse of a fall hazard as a staircase is going to take up a fair bit more area, generally. The incline has to be pretty gentle or you're just as likely to bust your ass on it as you would your average set of stairs. Stairs are also a little more forgiving in terms of material, from what I've noticed... more stuff isn't going to appreciably make them more dangerous than for ramps.

Still, if you have the space and the means to acquire the right sorts of materials (which isn't difficult, it's just you can halfass stairs with 2x4s or whatever and that'll end up slicker than owl shit on a weather exposed ramp in ways it won't with stairs), go ramp. Just... go ramp, for you general domestic use.

oh, whoops

yeah, I clicked off of it like immediately and forgot the first step (frumple really needs a nap)

Thought you had linked this instead.

Notion of singing meat, specifically. Singing itself isn't perturbing.

So far as the omigod thing, they probably weren't, y'know, speaking english. It was just the closest equivalent to whatever the actual words would be.

Oh hey, I cataloged Magic for Liars at... some point. Going by the publish date probably sometime in 2019 or early 2020. Pretty sure I stuffed a new (well, for our collection, book itself was an older donation, iirc) copy of persuasion somewhere this year, too.
