extremely based

Guh, now I wonder what that tastes like

I aspire to pass this well someday lol

I usually like to play as Inward Perfectionists, though I would like to try out Idyllic Blooms too.

Often also, I close borders to everyone except refugees, and kick out all Fanatics of the Authoritarian, Spiritualist, Xenophobe, and Militarist groups.

Pacifist, Materialist + Egalitarian is usually my way to go. For civics, I like to get Environmentalist and Shared Burdens.

Main reasons for taking those ethics and civics is partially ideological, and partially convenience. The extra stability (from Pacifist), research speed bonus (from Materialist) and faction unity gain (from Egalitarian) is simply too good to pass up.

I usually expand until I have 3-4 chokepoints left. Then I just sit it out and watch as empires fight each other. I keep a big military and good relations whenever possible, and that always has worked well for me. I like to view my empire as the people’s dream come true.

I haven’t played in a long while though, because my ol’ laptop gets a tad bit too hot, sadly.

So I might need to go look at a new one… the issue is, I’m considering shifting to Linux, but idk what distribution has:

• good privacy
• good security (also fairly up to date)
• is suitable for gaming
• is FOSS, of course
• and hopefully, also has a UI similar to that of Macintosh. Or at least somewhat beginner-friendly, but definitely well-customisable.

Main reason is to get independent from US corporatism. I could try dual booting but I’ve never done that before, no idea how to do that.
