And one day your child will grow and cut theirs into rectangle, the circle of sandwich life continues.

PersonallyI I cut mine into irregular polyhedrons.

Been playing this since day 1 of early access, its a fantastic game. If you enjoy something like transport tycoon, railroad tycoon, or any of highly detailed logistics sim, I think you would enjoy this. Devs are really attuned to the needs and wants of the players.

The sim is really detailed too, and you can turn on or off any aspects you find too challenging. You have to supply citizens with education, food, luxury goods, jobs, cultural attractions, medical care, water and waste management. Everything that's consumed in your republic can be produced locally in the republic. You can pay in cash to autobuild that new Chemical factory, or you can produce the bricks, concrete, electrical components, wood, concrete panels locally and have it built by the hands of your own citizens. Even the vehicles to import and export goods for the production of chemicals can be built in factories within the republic!

my greatest achievement in this game was building a town of 10k people and a nuclear power industry entirely from scratch with no autobuying. That includes the entire nuclear fuel production chain and waste disposal, the RBMK reactor and dozens of kilometres of rail networks and power lines to move uranium to the plant and export power at the border.

What's even more maddening, there was a fisherman named Finn who dedicated his life to catching the salmon. Every day he got up and laid a trap for it, and every day the salmon outsmarted him. But finally one day, after seven years of failures he managed to catch it. So he guts the fish and sticks it over the fire to cook it, but hes dying to take a piss and is afraid to keave the salmon in case it burns and is ruined. Up walks Half-man half-god, all party animal Fionn mac Cumhaill (transliteration: Finn McCool, there's a lot of people named Finn in Irish folklore) and says "hey man whats going on"

The fisherman explains his predicament asks him "Hey can you do me a favor and watch this salmon while I run off for a piss, but don't eat it!"

"No prob" says Fionn and off the fisherman runs. Fionn sits down and watches the fish. After some time he notices a blister appearing on the side of the fish so he pokes it to pop it, but burns his thumb. Just as the fisherman comes back from releiving himself Fionn sticks his thumb in his mouth to suck it, to cool off the burn, and wouldn't you know it, is suddenly granted with all the knowledge and wisdom of mankind. His eyes glow blue.

"Balls" says the fisherman. "I was going to eat that" and Fionn apologises and while the fisherman is intialky angryz he forgives Fionn, because hes a half-god and has a thing for killing people and could probably tear him in half. and from that day on whenever he needs to think or understand something on a deeper level, he just bites his thumb and the answer comes to him.

Urban strike as well! I think it was urban strike that turned into a kind of top down shooter when you assaulted an enemy base about halfway into the game. 10 year old me could never get past that part.

is it called "Seáns Bar" by any chance? 😁

Ha 😃. This was my first thought as well. I just shared the link to a friend of mine working for "Friend Computer" to ask him what class of citizen he was going to be.

a friend invited me to play a boardgame online, called Kingdomino. I really loved it, and since money is tight, I made my own copy of the tiles for in-person play.

They aren't perfect by any means and it took a fucking age to do them, but it's a playable version I can bust out with friends and family.

which fork of new pipe are you using? I'd be interested to hear your take on it.

I imagine this is what plays when you put the cup slightly off center on the microwave turntable so it starts drifting in wide circles when you turn it on.
