Pineapple and pepperoni pizza is nectar of the gods.

I'm reading Fingersmith right now, as it happens.

I'm on a New Ark right now. The lack of sponsor research at the beginning is killing me;-)

Deep semi-random tech tree helps the replayability of Surviving Mars, as do the 'Mysteries' and different sponsors/commander types.

That said, there do seem to be a few fairly optimal strategies.

@alpine_thistle @lindentreeisle

I think it might well be your cup of tea ...

@lindentreeisle

I'm still on Surviving Mars, but Civ VI is cued up. I've got Frostpunk on the wish list.

@alpine_thistle - you did Cliff Empire, right?

@alpine_thistle
Nice ...

It is, as my wife says, kind of whack. But ... Agatha is made entirely of purist awesomesite.

Full disclosure, we've only seen the first, but it's Moffit and Gattis bringing the full Dr Who and Sherlock to bear on the Dracula story.

We just hope we get some Whitby location shots at some point.

Tolkein weirdness I had never considered ...

The National Museum of Finland in Helsinki is very good indeed. Sadly the medieval exhibition is still being built, to open in 2020. The prehistoric section is as good as any I've seen, and the 'interactive' bits are excellent - so often, 'interactive' just means 'glue an iPad to the glass.'

Bonus points for having a section in the 'Story of Finland' dedicated to heavy metal - with a soundtrack including (among others) Nightwish, Children of Bodom, and Stone.

Don't set up in his range;-)

Shield arm? Or are you a leftie? (Or is the picture reversed?) Or fighting great weapon, two-stick, et c...

So if we accept Trump as Hitler - and why wouldn't we? - then who are the rest of the group? I kind of see Mitch McConnell as Himmler.

And I'm pretty sure Devin Nunes is Sgt Schultz from Hogan's Heroes.

@lindentreeisle @Isocelesisopod

Heh. I guess I was lucky. In my AP English class, a friend and I spent much time explaining why we disliked Tess of the d'Urbervilles. Hell, we both preferred 'Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' and it's pretty much incoherent.

@Nusbacher
Yeah, the whole 'danger' thing was ... a thing.
