Why is Santa so good at Christmas shopping?
Because he makes a list, and then he checks it twice.

"We've made some changes to Stellaris: Season 08 on Steam, updating it to a Dynamic Bundle.

AND this is your unofficial heads up that the Season 08 Bundle will be retiring to make way for Season 09 -- but we'll be sure to let you know when the exact date is announced."

I’m only familiar with 25 letters in the English language.

Did you hear about the blind man who fell in a deep hole full of water?
Apparently he didn't see that well.

I'm incredibly happy with the volume of detailed responses I got in today's Stellaris dev diary.

I went over the vision document I keep for the team, and asked a million questions of the players.

I've got a lot of reading to do tonight and over the weekend.

Why does “Queue” have five letters?
One for the sound and the rest are waiting their turn.
