Feeling depressed? Lost? Lacking identity? Go back to your roots. Be an asshole.

Is your friend an asshole? Give them time. They’ll grow into a baby.

We were all assholes once. But with diligence, and nurture, you too can grow into living, breathing, people. Thank you class of '41, and I look forward to seeing you after you’re all born.

The hobby of living? Look, if you haven’t figured it out since the earth formed, it’s going to take you more than a few months to dominate in the universe.

(Also, (as an aside), as an Emacs user I feel it should be written Alt/Meta.)

Is it really? That’s interesting.

Mystery solved!

Presumably that means you are in fact a Nazi born in 1889

Ah, a fellow 13 year-old.

One of them has a more powerful, focused beam.

Ah, I was wearing a tuxedo and a dress sword, and watching on a bright pink TV with polka dots on the cover. Ergo, I am older?

By that logic, you’re younger than your body and even your mind.

I think the minimum age for online these days is something like 43? Otherwise you have to pretend to be a bot?

I think you just write it in with pencil? So you can rub it out after you’ve turned to the right page.

Are those like wikipedias but circular?

But are you younger than my iPhone?

Ah, the pre-moon generation. Oh to be young.

Bah, n00b. I have sixteen planets already in their second moon-ejection event by the time Earth was starting. You just don’t know about them because you’re too young and still stuck on the v3.0 starter planet.

Younger than your tongue? How do you manage that? Relativistic time dilation or something?

FORTRAN?

What if we didn’t want more sea, just spikier? C#

I look out acroth the thea, and thee what I can thee. I can’t pronounth that thtupid language; I’ll write in lithp.

Ocean + traversing a desert => Ocaml?

I improved the C! It is greater! More potent! But what is this? I look at at my poor boat, upon which I traverse the waves of the C++ 7; now it is degraded. Now its beautiful metal hull has oxidised. Oh, the dangers of the C. …Wait, that gives me an idea…

How are you getting upvotes? People like it but haven’t heard of it? I want to upvote… but by the rules of the thread I have down-voted you.

I really like the non-micro-management mechanism of Globulation 2, though I seem to remember it’s a bit awkward sometimes in how it makes combat work.

And balancing upgrades to not run out of food, I’m not so sure about. I want to upgrade my globs! Always! Then they starve!

The last few times I’ve installed it, though, I always get early segfaults, usually before I can finish a game. Hope it can get some dev love.

Yes! Great fun game. Crashes for me every so often in Windows now, which is a pain especially for skirmishes because you can’t save. Have installed in Linux now but haven’t tested much - maybe it’ll work better!

I always loved the combot customisation aspect, but it seems my favourite load-out and team has changed since I played so many years ago, back when one borrowed a friend’s CD.
