Thankfully we have hard rock christmas music here.

Learn to use the word “No” from time to time.

Create smattering of small communities around the world that are sustainable, independent and contain all the scientific knowledge and capabilities to rebuild civilization.

People who downvoted this comment didn’t understand that the “Woosh” was the sound of the fuck flying.

Civilization, Civilization 2, Civilization 3 and FreeCiv

I finally kicked the habit with FreeCiv.
