Choose Your Fighter “Badly photoshopped comic panels that lots of people totally bought for some reason” edition
Challenger Approaching!!!
this one is the worst because literally every panel of Spidey Super Stories is funnier than any edit could ever be
Really disappointed that the second and 4th are fake, does anyone have the originals for comparison?
I don’t have the picture on hand, but the fourth is just “solid advice”.

The…. Knife?
An artifact
The… Knife? is a starmetal/moonsilver hybrid artifact, rumored forged in the First Age by a Sidereal master of such repute their name has been lost to us. Nobody is quite sure what the… Knife? is, but everyone agrees that it’s quite sharp and that it’s mostly limited to melee range. In addition to the normal bonuses, attuning to the… Knife? allows you to pick it up correctly. What this conceptually means is a point of contention in many circles, but almost everyone agrees that it involves your fingers staying attached to your hands.
For those foolish enough to unlock the… Knife’s? Evocations, they find their relationships with space ambiguous and form tenuous, for better and for worse.

To be fair, sci fi stories about evil robot uprisings aren’t always about demonising oppressed labourers. Sometimes they’re about the older generation’s fear of being rendered culturally obsolete by their own children instead.
Where does Terminator fall in all this? Given Skynet woke up and started killing everyone pretty much immediately, I’m not sure it’s either, though I guess it’s closer to the second?
Another one is VIKI from the 2004 I, Robot film, where at first look you might expect oppressed workers but it’s one intelligence deciding it knows what’s best, so is that the second too?
Perhaps both fall into a category of “maybe think a bit more before handing control to the robots, ok?”

Land for a Mage of Time? Interests: Video games, Shitty fanfiction, Modern cartoons, Critiquing things, and Computers. They are very analytical, but wish to be creative. They regularly attempt to make art, music, or stories, but don't have the patience to become very good at them. They are happy when around friends, but apathetic to most things otherwise. Thanks in advance!

Land of Charades and Measures
Your Land is a lovely, plotted thing, with the land made of of steppes lined with black like a topographic map, each elevation perfectly in tune with its neighbors and alikes. The ground itself has minor variations of height, constructed out of tessellating squares, but overall, your land is a lovely, measured place, until Sobek begun to introduce curves and unevenness to the world. Your consorts, the Chameleons, cannot handle the new curvature rapidly spreading like a virus, and are so incensed at Sobek that they refuse to speak - every conversation and request must be either drawn, sung, or acted out. You must travel to the Golden Spire, the center of the Grand Curvatures, and descend to confront Sobek.
Complete your quest… WITH DANCE!

Paradox Lands I made a side blog for the Homestuck fan land artwork that I’ve been making lately instead of needlessly spamming up this (basically dead) feed. If it sounds like something you’re interested in, then take a look.

Land of Cults and Chandeliers
The land is made of giant chandeliers that have been unpowered for millennia, keeping the planet shrouded in darkness from the brick roof above. Each chandelier shines a different light and is home to a different color of Chameleon - you need to turn on all the chandeliers in order to unite the tribes.
A land that I created, brought to life with the help of 4chan’s Homestuck Thread
I drew these!

Is the game discontinued?
Indefinite suspension. I don’t know when I’ll get back to it, but I want to.

Gandhi has been historically the most aggressive character in Civilization due to an original bug in the first game that caused him to go all-out once he reaches democracy. They just kept the thing going ever since.
More specifically, the numerical value of a leader’s aggression is usually around 10, but for Gandhi it was a few points lower, since he’s got the whole pacifism thing going on. But certain perks and policies lowered your aggression level. For most civs, this would make them have little to no aggression. For Gandhi, his base aggression was already set so low that it could dip into negative numbers. When that happened, it looped back from 0 to 256, the highest value possible. Remember, the usual scale was 0-10.
That is why Gandhi was a trigger happy motherfucker. The developers found the bug so hilarious that they made sure it stayed in every game.
Gandhi’s aggression score was 1 out of 10, reduced by 2 upon discovering and adopting the Democracy government type, looping it around to 255 (yay for unsigned shorts).

hey i just noticed your game, and i think it is really cool what you are trying to make. I understand that your are doing more important things in your life right now that are more important than building this game. However, when do you think you will start working on this game again?
Honestly, I’m not sure. I’d say more but there isn’t really much more to it.

I signed up just to ask you this: How goes the game? I only recently discovered it, and it looks like it could be everything I could ever want. Also, I wanted to ask where/how you learned all your programming skills and such. Keep up the good work, m8.
I’m not actively working on the game at the moment, as job hunting and maintaining a Minecraft mod have sort of taken over for now. It’s absolutely something I want to do more on, but I can’t really spare any time for it right now.
As for programming, I have no formal training. I learned everything myself through experimentation and looking at examples. I started with Qbasic when I was about 8 or 9, making crappy little text “games” and programs that filled the screen with colour patterns… it sort of grew from there.
If you’re wanting to learn yourself, concentrate on the core concepts like functions, classes, data types etc - those are common to most programming languages and at their heart work the same everywhere, more or less. I hear Codeacademy is a good site to learn the basics from, but I’ve not used it myself.
