Or we could just embrace minor cultural differences instead of smoothing humanity out into boring orthodoxy

Stellaris console is surprisingly good UI wise actually

That massive number of resources, planets, pops, fleets, and everything else is not only understandable but feels magnificent when you have them dancing to your tune. Also my brother in SpongeBob, you literally got mad at a tutorial. On a more serious and hopefully helpful note, the game grows on you like a fungus. It’s really not much worse than Civ. Energy is gold, Minerals and Alloys are effectively Production, Unity is Culture (and works almost identically to Civ V, you can’t use it to outright win is all) and the scinces are well Science. As for all the others, my man those are your Strategic and Luxury resources. But that’s only where the fun starts, the real madness is civ and species generation. I once made space orbital dwelling, advanced robotics having, xenophobic, pacifists that relied on slave labor stolen from nations that declared war on my seemingly defenseless empire. I also made the Megachurch of Dewy, Cheatham and Howe.

Edit: I almost forgot the best terrible civ I made, OnlyStreams.

Because unless you live underground, are blind, or live so far north or south that the day night cycle loses cohesion it’s literally as easy as “Can I see daylight?” If you really want to fix it round hours out to 20-30 for easier conversion between days and smaller units, 7 day weeks? That’s backwards and hard to convert mentally, make them 10 days. Months are just tied to the lunar cycle we can do better surely. Years are stuck though unless we speed up or slow the Earth’s orbit. While we are at it, one time zone, if everyone is on identical clocks it’ll save so many issues, I don’t want to know when 21:00 is in Hong Kong, I’ll just call at Universal 11:00

Exactly and it’s such a minor thing to bitch about, I understand the date system frustration but over using AM/PM vs 24?

12AM is midnight. As for the other part I have this mind blowing concept for you, our culture is not the same as yours. We have our own ways of doing things, just like you.

SNW is amazing Trek I fully expected to have mixed feelings about. I especially love the remixed versions of some of the music, like that bit of the TOS theme coming through as it trails off

Shit, my family won’t able to tell the difference regarding my grandmother’s old bird, fucker was born mean

All about that Germanium based food personally

Depends on species, ball python tend to be absolute dears but reticulated pythons at the very least hate me

She’s far too large, that snake appreciates her as a heat source right now.

On their own no, but like every animal they poop and snake shit is really high in ammonia

That’s a good wheelhouse to have

I just assumed it took Mezoamerican influences back and added peppers, Klingons like food that fights back

There is the problem of where does religion and culture separate? Especially for a spiritual people like the Bajorans do we ever really see one post occupation without the ear thing?

Ahh yes, the Monkeigh defense. I always knew the Ferengi were really space elves!

Understanding a customer as famously wily as the Federation through language would be a business advantage. We know this because it works today.

Agnostic more or less, I just despise unfair double standards

USA isn’t even top 10 fattest anymore

Overblown mostly.
