Ugh, life took ages to get started. Lazy bacteria!

It’s still a hell of a long time if you consider that the entirety of recorded (ish) history is only a few thousand years long.

Updated comment to remove an order of magnitude.

It’s not X turning into Y when it comes to evolution. There were all kinds of different dinosaurs, that evolved I to all kinds of different niches. Most of those then went extinct due to rocks falling from the sky, or the entirety of India turning into a huge volcano etc.

So it’s not that a T-Rex turned into a chicken, it’s that T-Rexs lived alongside other dinosaurs that developed feathers and filled more niches etc. those that survived eventually became birds. (Have you ever seen an Emu up close?!? No wonder the Australians lost to them 🤣)

Disclaimer: I have no specific knowledge. Also, remember this happened over (billions? hundreds of millions) of years.

Other comments about just not noticing feathers are valid too.

Wow, this is a long read. Well worth it for anyone who got caught in Rome TW2’s hype and subsequent disappointment.

It’s probably a single dev that made the decision, then moves onto something else. They (probably?) don’t have the ability to just raise a recurring PO etc to easily pay you and don’t care enough to worth through the paperwork.

If you had a paid licencing model they may have done it, or just found another lib/ wrote their own.

‘cool’ is relative - the have to water the roads they build over the top to stop them melting!

This makes me want to play crusader kings again, ck3’s earliest start is 40 or so years after this?

What is their monetisation plan? Currently they don’t seem to have anything other than donations?

You want to make it harder to vote just to get faster unofficial projections?

Go ric!

I’m here for a ham podium!

We will see.

2 pit stops behind already

Where those hards!?!

That’s a broken rear axle?

So the inters turn into pseudo slicks right? So they can hold these until it rains then out on new inters?

As long as it starts before the rain hopefully we will be fine. Without the cars to dry it, yeh.

My concern is it gets red flagged due to a crash, then it rains loads

🤣

oooh, ty
