  • The rhetoric is too weighed down by its own heavy hand to impact the uninitiated it intends to reach. It reeks of snark in ways the intended audience find unapprochable. If the intent is to agitate the complacent then target the soft spots which give cause to push back against a target. Few are spurred to meaningful change through shame alone (and the few, I’d wager, are often reactive instead of responsive).

    If I wanted to introduce someone to the genre then Empires of the Undergrowth would be my first recommendation.

    The gameplay, narrative, and progression mechanics are top-notch. The developers understand what makes RTS mechanics compelling and have designed systems that are more intuitive and accessible for everyone.

    For instance (no spoilers) unit groups are built-in to base management. No hotkeys or group micro management required. It happens automatically as a functional result of more obvious concerns.

    My only critique of the game, if I were forced to offer one, is that the UI can seem a bit clunky at first. That aside though the team’s expertise and care shine through in ways which prove the user experience was well considered throughout development.

    It’s fun, too!








  • Palm oil is used to stabilize the product. Palm oil is problematic for environmental reasons. Similar to other foodstuffs farmed industrially there are other ethical problems as well.

    The concerns often expressed for peanuts, palm oil, and other foods high in saturated fats, are mostly related to purported health effects related to their consumption. i.e., people think they’re bad for you to eat. Whether they are or are not is still deliberated and, I think, quite beside the point.

    We need to stop shoving palm oil into things.
