Had a good session on Civ 7 yesterday. Got to the Exploration age. The UI is a bit janky but once I got over that I was quickly sucked in and couldn’t stop playing. As a person who has played every game at launch I think it’s great!

Civ 7 up and running. I’m not hearing great things but I’m going to give it a go. Love this series, I can’t believe they screwed it up. Will report back.

Hello 2025. I know I was going to start the new year on my best behavior but let’s delay that until tomorrow. Or until all the Christmas chocolate and cheese is gone. Whichever comes first.
