I hate you Stardock

Look what you've done to me!

from GalCiv2 Forums
It was about 11:00 Pm last night, I had finished several hours of homework, and I thought I would get an hour or so in on DA before bed. So, I started up a large galaxy with nine major and 8 minors selected (things got crowded quick).

The next thing I know it's 1:00 AM, the Drath are paying off everyone to go to war with me, the Korx have the megaevent going that increases thier research AND manufacturing, and my empire now controls about a third of the galaxy.

"Ok", I decided, "just make it to a lull in things so you can save and get to bed." Then I glnced at the clock and somehow it had become 1:30. Dang.

So, to cut the story short, I havn't had a case of the "one more turn" syndrome in a year, and now Stardock has to go and make a great game that destroys my sleep pattern.

I guess that I don't really hate Stardock, I hate what thier product is turning me into, a sleep deprived shut in. Thanks a lot.

Hey, man, Stardock was good about releasing this a week early. Now I can neglect my SO a week early instead of on Valentine's Day.

P.S. Anyone have any good ideas what to do on Valentine's Day? I haven't thought about it much. The Iconians just orbited a 2-laser fighter around a planet I was going to spore, and I can't figure out how to quickly beat them.

design an upgrade for your spore ship with shields and a missle. 2-3 turns max.
Start11 - Customize the Start Menu and Taskbar in Windows 10/11.

Ooh, unacceptable. The spore ship only has 1 hp and can't do combat, and it's too early in the game to get a medium hull. And by the time the new ship gets there, he'll have another Defender or two in orbit. This is critical. I cannot spend time with my SO until this life-or-death (preferably death) matter is resolved.

Oh Feud... So if your grades take a nose dive this semester and mom asks me why it happened, what excuse would you like me to tell her?

If you eat enough pintos you will start making your contribution to global warming. So again, it goes back to El Nino. Where have you bean?
