I'm not really a feet guy. But as a feat of foreshortening it is impressive as well. Good attention to detail in an area that can often be overlooked. Very excellent work. A pity you can only follow the once. :P

Heavenly bodies. But what is with the scale of the 2nd planet? Seems like the largest would be the center and glowing one. I know that seeing a beautiful piece like this and jumping to complaints of unrealistic astronomy is missing the point. But I swear it was at least my 3rd or 4th thought.

As your word of the day, this is called a skeuomorph. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeuomo...).

Double frustrating when they have a different type of device. I don't know how an iPhone works, why are you asking me?

That's why I use my Kirkland brand Spit-Second Skillet. The instant pots pressure cooker technology paired with hibachi-esque showmanship flare that no half made and mismatched apartment kitchen should be without.

Not to viking-blame but did you see how Britania was ruling those waves? They were basically axing for it.

Yes, but what is the Dark Souls of 90s Sonic games?

Aye, but the lady doth protest too much!

I expect my opinion will change as I get more time with it. I feel very "This is different and therefore bad" which is not a good attitude to take. As qualitative gamefeel so far though, I feel constrained rather than enriched by the changes.

It's basically just a completely different game from 4. They took the overcomplicated Victoria 3 economy and transplanted it into an era where that doesn't make sense as a historical model for the first half of it. Feels like the average of CK3 and Vic3 rather than the "Yes... and!" of EU4.

I have a gaming PC capable of slaying a minor deity and it still locks up at speed 5 sometimes. It makes the time between major events drag on forever.

It certainly wasn't made for that, but as with all capitalist products, it is a goal on the board for consideration. TBH I'm not jiving with the changes much yet. But that is probably just conditioning and I'll adjust. I haven't managed to make it past 1370 yet because I keep switching around.

It feels cramped to me and a lot of screen real estate is taken up but not always relevant data. How they expect normies to play this, I have no idea.

Sorry to flaunt my "friendless and painfully unfunny" privilege... But I am so glad I missed the twitter bus before the 21st century got thrown under it.
