I've proper murdered one raid so far! And improperly murdered one before that, losing like half my population in the process Past the point of starvation being a significant issue, in any case (2.9 years worth with 470 pop, heh). Now building a library that's taking 2.8k wood, 3.5k furniture, and 5.6k fabric. I'd say it's excessive, but if I'm reading it right it's like... maybe getting to one end-tree tech. Maybe.

Still can't seem to figure out how to convince my soldiers to wear armor (or clothes, for that matter), but I do seem to have convinced them to train, so it's somethin'.

Neat little tech demo, in any case.

E: Muster! Apparently they don't put on equipment until you hit the muster button. Seems okay to do that right after the ransom demand comes in. Fight goes a lot better when you got your dudes formed up and wearing something besides sky, oddly enough :V

Still haven't figured out to get any of these critters to wear pants, though. They'll pick up battle gear, but clothes? They don't seem to understand clothes.

E2: Woo, crashed it! Be careful tearing down the throne room, apparently.

Strike witches has a fairly different art style and character design though

Honestly I'm not sure telling even someone used to anime nomenclature that sounan desu ka had moe schoolgirls wouldn't be something like a bait and switch. 'Cause from what I'm seeing of it neither the anime nor the manga is leaning moe-wards stylistically. Characters too mature, not... squidgy enough, something like that. They're schoolgirls, sure, but just... not moe ones.

I remember hearing something about that before, but must have forgotten. Neat.

From the most recent release notes on Caramel's Github page:

Performance now gives weaponized singing in combat. LISTEN TO MY SONG

Yeah, given the macross influence and the existence of the performance skill at all, it was bound to happen sometime or another. Good to hear that's coming along, tho'. Gearhead's always been pretty great.

Clearly his full name is Egan Bolt Wonka, he’s secretly lost in his dad’s chocolate factory, scared of Charlie Bucket because he thinks he killed Willy Wonka to steal the factory

Wait, wait. There's a plot here. Egan Bolt Wonka, terrified for his life and equally terrified of his forbidden attraction to his secret half-brother Charlie Bucket, the man who killed Egan's father, hiding from his urges and his father's murderer among the decaying husk of a factory gone wrong. When the factory finally succumbs to the taint left by the many deaths that occurred there, the wild energies give a sickening solution to all of Wonka's woes.

More twists and turns than you can shake a chocolate stick at await you in Egan Wonka and the Zombie Factory, a thrilling tale of confectionary taboo _{(and necromancy)}.

Could use some work, but there's something remarkable torrid there...

I mean, I'unno? It's fairly inoffensive litrpg/isekai, which makes it not complete drek but mediocre is probably not far from what you could consider it deserving, heh. It's not bad, but it's also fairly bog standard OP power fantasy in most ways, except with a cute non-murderhobo MC and some lily shading. If it weren't for most things in that general area of literature et al being remarkably terrible it wouldn't stand out much

It shows up in SC2, too, for what it's worth. Couldn't tell you the context there offhand, tho', I'm mostly aware of it from custom maps. Also haven't played anything blizzard since the goddamn disaster that was the reforged launch, so memory's probably a little fuzzy there anyway.

Well, most effective after removing guns from the population. It's been noted, repeatedly, that for all the good psych help would do it's significantly fucking unlikely to do sod all about mass murder. It's just pretty bloody rare there's chance or grounds to catch something like that before it hatches on the psych care side of things.

Better safety nets would probably help more on that front between the two, just, y'know. Not as much as just getting guns out of the goddamn population. Might be more feasible in the relatively short term, but I'unno. Depends on if the GOP goes and fucking dies sometime in the near future or not, and less of our political system becomes virulently opposed to the general population becoming less miserable.
