One time, in Civ I, I was living my best life as Rome on a big island until the Chinese sent a battleship to my shores and started destroying my triremes. Somehow, I used a diplomat to take over one of their cities and production was stuck on mobile infantry (must have been a bug), which gave me the ability to make units that could defend against their tech. Then I sent more diplomats to steal tech. The list of tech ran off the screen, but it allowed me to still select tech I couldn’t see. So I started scrolling beyond the visible point and blindly stealing tech. When I accidentally stole nuclear weapons, I built one, loaded it on a trireme, and sent it to Beijing. Their empire instantly split, and I was able to survive. It’s still my best memory from any Civilization game.

Campers who disagree are silly cows and we will have to dance with them.

Just read the first section of The Will to Change. As a man, it’s fascinating and enlightening to see a feminist deal with men and masculinity rather than dismiss them.

A lot of these have a link near the top to go straight to the recipe, which helps me avoid much of the dreck.
