oH, sPORE IS A FUN GAME, tHOUGH, iT IS DEFINITELY, pRONE TO CRASHING, wHICH IS A REAL SHAME, bUT THEN, i DO NOT PLAY MUCH PROPER, aNYWAYS i JUST PLAY IN THE CREATURE CREATOR, mOSTLY, wHICH IS FOR THE BEST SINCE THE ACTUAL GAMEPLAY, iS ALSO PRETTY MID, i MEAN, iT IS ONLY REALLY GOOD, iNSOFAR AS IT LETS YOU WATCH, yOUR CREATURE, dO VARIOUS CREATURE THINGS, bUT THEN IT STOPS CHANG1NG AFTER THE CREATURE STAGE, aNYWAYS, aND THE DRESS UP IS JUST NOT NEARLY AS COMPELL1NG, nOR IS, tHE BUILDING BUILDER OR, tHE VEHICLE BUILDER, tHOUGH THOSE ARE BOTH NEAT FOR WORLDBUILD1NG PURPOSES, aT LEAST, bUT YES THE CREATURE CREATOR IS DEF1N1TELY, wHERE IT'S AT, lAST TIME i BOOTED IT UP, i MADE tINKERBULL AND HE WAS, vERY CUTE, aND THE T1ME BEFORE, i USED THE BASIC CREATURE CREATOR, tHE ONE THAT YOU POP INTO, jUST AFTER THE CELL STAGE, iS OVER, aND i MADE A BUNCH OF, lITTLE WIGGLER TYPE CREATURES, sO THAT THE EARLY GAME COULD BE POPULATED WITH, a WIDER VAR1ETY OF L1TTLE WIGGLER TYPE, cREATURES, bECAUSE THEY REALLY ARE CUTE, aND IT'S JUST A SHAME THAT THERE AREN'T MORE OF THEM, i ALSO WANT TO MAKE MORE REGULAR CREATURES i TH1NK, bECAUSE POPULATING THE UNIVERSE WITH YOUR OWN SPECIESES IS VERY FUN, tHE PROBLEM THOUGH IS THAT, tHE SLIGHT CHANGES i MAKE, iN THE CREATURE STAGE, mEANS THERE ARE ABOUT A DOZEN VERY SIMILAR CREATURES ALL SAVED TO, mY sPOREPED1A (WHICH IS WHERE EVERYTHING YOU MAKE, iS SAVED TO) AND SO WHEN IT DOES RANDOM PULLS, iT IS VERY LIKELY TO PULL SOME VARIATION OF ONE OF THOSE, sPECIES, wHICH IS FINE BUT, i WOULD LIKE MORE VARIETY, eSPECIALLY SINCE PLAYER MADE SPECIES TEND TO BE, mORE OPTIMIZED, wHICH MAKES THEM HARDER TO DEAL WITH, iN GAMEPLAY, tHOUGH i GUESS, aS STATED PREVIOUSLY, i DON'T REALLY ENGAGE MUCH WITH THE GAMEPLAY, aNYWAYS, wHICH IS A SHAME, sPORE IS SOMEHOW ONE OF THE BEST, aND WORST GAMES, i HAVE EVER PLAYED, aND TH1S 1S LIKELY DUE TO, bEHIND THE SCENES MEDDLING, i MEAN, iT IS IMPOSS1BLE TO SAY WHETHER, iT WOULD HAVE BECOME BETTER OR WORSE, bASED ON WHAT 1FS, bUT i KNOW IT ENDED UP DIFFERENT THAN, tHE ORIGINAL V1SION, bUT MAYBE THAT WAS FOR THE BEST, sINCE i DO LIKE, tHE CUTESY LOOK TO TH1NGS, eVEN IF IT ISN'T SCIENTIF1CALLY ACCURATE, lIKE THEY ORIGINALLY WANTED, i DO THINK THAT, eVOLUTION GAMES IN GENERAL, aRE REALLY FASC1NATING, tHERE WAS THIS ONE i PLAYED, a LONG TIME AGO, i FORGET THE NAME AND IT GOT REMOVED, fROM THE APP STORE i THINK, bUT IT WAS JUST CELLS, iN A PETRI DISH, eVOLVING AND EATING EACH OTHER, oR PLANTS, aND ONE TIME i TURNED OFF THE PETR1 DISH, bOUNDARIES, aND THINGS COULD GO AS FAR AWAY, aS THEY WANTED, aND THERE WAS THIS ONE ENCLAVE THAT FORMED, sUPER DUPER FAR AWAY, fROM THE CENTER, sO NO PLANTS GREW FOR THEM, tO EAT NEAR THERE, aND NO OTHER CELLS CAME CLOSE, s1NCE IT WAS SO FAR AWAY, aND IT EVENTUALLY BECAME THIS THERMODYNAMICS DEFY1NG, cYCLE OF DEPRAVITY, wHERE THIS SINGLE SPEC1ES, kEPT BREEDING AND CANN1BALIZING, eACH OTHER, iN JUST, a REALLY HORR1D DISPLAY, aND i TH1NK ABOUT THAT A LOT, i MEAN, iT IS KIND OF LIKE, l1VING IN A SOCIETY, iF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT, aND GET DEEP, wE ARE ALL STRANDED WITH EACH OTHER, bUT ALL WE HAVE, iS EACH OTHER, aND WE KEEP CANNIBALIZING, eACH OTHER, aND FIGHTING, bUT MAYBE W1THOUT THAT, wE WOULD SIMPLY EXIST AND STARVE, fROM LACK OF, eNGAGEMENT W1TH EACH OTHER, aND WHILE i AM NOT CONV1NCED, tHAT IS STRICTLY TRUE, aS i ASCRIBE MORE TO THE IDEA THAT, wE SHOULD BE UPLIFTING, eACH OTHER AND FIGHTING AGAINST, tHE CHAINS THAT BIND US AND, kEEP US APART, aND RISE, rISE, rISE, bUT, i THINK 1T 1S GOOD TO TAKE 1N OTHER PERSPECT1VES, aND AT LEAST GIVE THEM CONSIDERATION, bEFORE D1SCARDING THEM, wH1CH IS PROBABLY WHY sPORE BECAME THE GAME IT IS, bECAUSE, tHEY TOOK IN D1FFERENT PERSPECTIVES, oN WHETHER THE GAME SHOULD BE, sCIENCEY, oR CUTESY, tHESIS AND ANTITHESIS, iF YOU WILL, aND THEN THERE WAS, sYNTHESIS, bETWEEN THE TWO SIDES, aND sPORE WAS WHAT, cAME OUT OF THAT, aND YOU KNOW, iT 1S A BEAUTIFUL GAME, sTILL, eVEN IF THE SERVERS ARE DOWN AND, yOU CAN NOT GET CREATURES, fROM OTHER PEOPLE THOUGH, i BET THERE IS STILL A WAY TO DO SO, fROM FAN SERVERS, aND WHATNOT, sURELY THERE IS SOME SORT OF COMMUNITY, fOR THAT, mAYBE ON sHREDDIT, pROBABLY, tHERE IS A COMMUNITY FOR EVERYTHING, oN THERE, tHE PROBLEM IS THAT THE OFFICIAL MOBILE APPS, aRE KIND OF UGLY AND, tHE ONE i USE, iS TECHNICALLY TAKEN DOWN, aND NO LONGER SUPPORTED, aND SO IT BROKE RECENTLY AND NOW, i CAN'T SEE ANY POSTS ON IT, sO IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO USE, sHREDDIT NOW, wHICH 1S A SHAME BECAUSE OF, aLL THE GREAT COMMUNITIES ON THERE, eVEN IF PEOPLE LIKE TO JOKE, aBOUT PEOPLE BEING WEIRD ON IT, tHERE ARE GOING TO BE WE1RD PEOPLE, iN ANY ONLINE COMMUNITY OR, oFFLINE COMMUNITY, oR, lINE COMMUNITY, tHAT IS JUST THE WAY OF COMMUNITIES, wHEN YOU GET DOWN TO BRASS TACKS, oR IS 1T, bRASS TAX, oR MAYBE TACTS, i AM UNSURE, wHERE THAT SAYING COMES FROM ANYWAYS, pROBABLY RAILROADS OR, sOMETHING SIMILAR TO THAT, bUT MY POINT IS, i BET THERE ARE SOME REALLY, rEALLY COOL sPORE CREATIONS, oN sHREDDIT, lET ME SEE WHAT THE BROWSER VERSION, oF sHREDDIT, wILL ALLOW ME TO SEE, iF YOU WILL ALLOW ME A BRIEF TANGENT, hERE, aND YEAH, pEOPLE ARE STILL REGULARLY, pOST1NG, aND IN FACT TWO WIPES AGO IT LOOKS LIKE, a POST WENT VIRAL, wHERE SOMEBODY RECREATED, wITH THE CREATURE CREATOR, tHE CREATURE CREATOR, wH1CH IS A VERY SILLY AND CLEVER IDEA, i WONDER IF YOU COULD GO A STEP FURTHER EVEN AND, rECREATE, iN THE CREATURE CREATOR, iN THE CREATURE CREATOR, tHE CREATURE CREATOR, i TH1NK THAT WOULD BE, pERHAPS EVEN SILLIER, aND COULD OBTAIN FOR ONESELF, mANY UPDOOTS, eHEHE, i L1KE THE SILLY SLANG TERMS, iNTERNET COMMUNITIES GET, lIKE, wHEN DOES THE NARWHAL BACON, tO WHICH THE RESPONSE IS, aT M1DNIGHT BRO, aT MIDNIGHT, wH1CH IS NONSENSE SOUNDING BUT, aS i RECALL, tHAT WAS THE BIG TH1NG, aT SOME POINT, oN sHREDDIT, pROBABLY FAR, fAR TOO LONG AGO, lONGER THAN i WISH TO REMEMBER OR THINK ABOUT, rEALLY, bECAUSE IT W1LL MAKE ME FEEL, oLD AND SAD AND WEIRD AND WISTFUL, aND i'VE BEEN DEALING TOO MUCH WITH THOSE SORTS OF EMOTIONS, lATELY, i KEEP THINKING ABOUT THINGS, fROM WHEN i WAS YOUNGER, aND HOW FAR AWAY IT ALL SEEMS AND, mY BEST FRIENDS, fROM BACK THEN, wHO MAKE STRONG EMOT1ONS, rISE WITHIN ME, lIKE, sOMETIMES SHE WILL SAY SOMETHING, tOTALLY INNOCUOUS, aND i THINK TO MYSELF, "i LOVE YOU, sO SO MUCH," AND i WANT TO SAY IT, sO BADLY, i NEED HER TO KNOW, tHAT SHE IS LOVED, aND i LOVE HER, bUT, sHE ISN'T INTERESTED, aND DOES NOT WANT THAT FROM ME, aND WE BOTH HAVE OUR OWN STUFF, tO WORK OUT, i MEAN, i AM STILL COMING TO TERMS WITH, bE1NG A WOMAN AND ALL, cOOL AS IT IS, tHERE HAVE BEEN SOME GROWING PAINS, bOTH LITERAL AND METAPHOR1CAL, tHOUGH pRIDE mONTH HAS BEEN NEAT, eVEN IF IT MESSES WITH ME THAT IT IS, aLREADY ALMOST OVER, tHAT IS WILD HOW QUICKLY T1ME FLIES, bUT SPEAKING OF THAT, sOMEONE ON THE sPORE sHREDDIT, mADE SOME pRIDE CREATURES, wHICH IS CUTE, tHEY MOSTLY LOOK LIKE, eMO OR SCENE GIRLS, tHE ONES THAT HAVE THE, sTRIPEY DYED HAIR, i HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED, hOW YOU ACCOMPLISH THAT, lIKE, mAYBE IT IS SIMILAR TO TIE DYE, iN THAT YOU TIE IT, aND THEN DYE IT, i SHOULD HAVE A T1E DYE DAY, sOMETIME, iT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME, sINCE i HAVE TIED AND DYED, i BOUGHT SOME WHITE SH1RTS, aND TIE DYE A WHILE AGO, bUT NEVER ACTUALLY GOT AROUND TO USING ANY OF IT, bECAUSE i FORGOT, aND CONTINUED TO FORGET, aND NOW i DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHERE, aNY OF THAT STUFF IS BUT, i LIKE TIE DYE, a LOT, i THINK IT IS VERY PRETTY AND, tHERE IS A LOT OF ROOM FOR SELF-EXPRESSION AND, eXPERIMENTATION, mAYBE IT IS A LITTLE LOUD AND MOODY, iN COMPARISON TO UTILITAR1AN AND STANDARD, bLACK ON BLACK, tROLL ATTIRE, bUT YOU CAN ACTUALLY TIE AND DYE, bLACK SHIRTS TOO, iF YOU USE BLEACH, aND THAT LOOKS ACTUALLY, rEALLY REALLY COOL, aND i DO MEAN, rEALLY COOL, i REMEMBER WATCHING A BUNCH OF VIDEOS ON THAT, a WH1LE BACK, wHICH IS PROBABLY WHAT INSPIRED ME, tO BUY THE TIE DYE STUFF, iN THE FIRST PLACE, bECAUSE i WANTED TO DO THAT THEN, nEVER GOT AROUND TO ACTUALLY, dOING THAT, bUT i REALLY SHOULD, iT GOES WELL WITH MY WHOLE, lOOK i THINK, i HAVE BEEN TOLD i AM, kIND OF A HIPPIE, aND HONESTLY, i AM INTO IT, i AM VERY MUCH FOR THE 1DEAS OF, pEACE AND FREE LOVE, aND VEGANISM, aND SOCKS W1TH SANDALS, aND PEACE SIGNS, aRE A PRETTY COOL HUMAN INVENTION, mUCH NICER THAN, tHE WAR SIGNS, oF TROLLKIND, dESPITE HOW VERY, vERY SIMILAR THE TWO ARE, tHERE ARE SUBTLE DIFFERENCES THAT, mAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE, iN THE WORLD, bETWEEN WHICH ONE MEANS LOVE AND PEACE, aND WHICH ONE MEANS, hATE AND WAR, nOT THAT HATE, iS A BAD THING NECESSARILY, i HAVE HATE 1N MY PUSHER, fOR SURE, l1KE TOWARDS YOUR WARD, oR i GUESS HE IS, pAST YOU MAYBE, oR HOWEVER THAT WORKS, iT DOES NOT REALLY GET TO ME, oNE WAY OR THE OTHER, i GUESS, tHE POINT IS THAT, hE IS FUN TO PLAY W1TH, oNE OF THESE NIGHTS WE ARE GOING TO PLAY MAYBE, tIDDLYWINKS (A GAME PLAYED ON A FLAT FELT MAT WITH SETS OF SMALL DISCS CALLED WINKS, a POT, wHICH IS THE TARGET, aND A COLLECTION OF SQUIDGERS, wHICH ARE ALSO D1SCS), (wHICH YOU PLAY BY, uSING A SQUIDGER (NOWANIGHTS MADE OF PLASTIC) TO SHOOT A W1NK, iNTO FLIGHT BY FL1CKING, tHE SQUIDGER, aCROSS THE TOP OF A WINK, aND THEN OVER ITS EDGE, tHEREBY PROPELLING IT INTO THE AIR, aND THE OFFENSIVE OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME, iS TO SCORE POINTS BY SENDING YOUR OWN, wINKS INTO THE POT, wHEREAS THE DEFENSIVE OBJECTIVE, oF THE GAME IS TO PREVENT YOUR OPPONENTS, fROM POTTING THE1R WINKS, bY SQUOPPING THEM, wHICH MEANS SHOOT1NG YOUR OWN WINKS, tO LAND ON TOP OF YOUR OPPONENTS' WINKS), (i SHOULD NOTE, pLAYERS OFTEN ATTEMPT TO SQUOP THEIR OPPONENTS' WINKS AND DEVELOP, mAINTAIN AND BREAK UP, lARGE PILES OF WINKS), OR, tHE GAME WITH THE JACKS, aND THE BALLS, wHICH, iS GREAT FUN AND EASY, tO LEARN, i THINK IT IS JUST CALLED, jACKS MAYBE OR, kNUCKLEBONES, oN ACCOUNT OF BEING PLAYED WITH, jACKS, aND/OR, kNUCKLEBONES, wHICH, i GUESS IT'S NOT STRICTLY, aNTI-VEGAN TO USE, tHAT SORT OF THING BUT, i WOULD JUST BE MORE COMFORTABLE, uSING JACKS, oR i GUESS THE KNUCKLEBONES FROM A TROLL, oR MAYBE HUMAN, i AM UNSURE WHETHER OR NOT, tHAT WOULD BE MORE OR LESS WEIRD, tHAN PLAYING WITH A TROLL'S, kNUCKLEBONES, bUT ANYWAYS SIDEBAR, aSIDE, i AM GOING TO MOST CERTAINLY, kICK cALIBORN'S, dUMB GREEN REAR-END, iN THESE GAMES BECAUSE, i AM THE SUPERIOR GAMER, aND THEN i WILL, sTICK A LOAD GAPER, uNSTICKING STICK, oNTO HIS BALD HEAD, aND TEASE HIM AND MAKE FUN OF HIM, fOR IT, aND MAYBE ATTACH A FLAG TO IT AS A SYMBOL OF, mY DOMINANCE, oVER HIM, aND DEFEAT OF HIM, aS MY RIVAL, mAYBE A PRIDE FLAG, tO KEEP IN THE THEME, oF THE MONTH, lIKE THOSE sPORE EMO GIRLS, wHICH SPEAKING OF, a LOT OF PEOPLE MADE WIGGLER OR RATHER, eARLY STAGE, cREATURES, lIKE i MENTIONED DOING, aND SOME OF THESE ARE, vERY CREATIVE, iT IS JUST SUCH, a COOL COMMUN1TY AND, i AM A LITTLE TOUCHED THAT IT IS STILL, gOING STRONG, aFTER ALL THIS TIME, aS WEIRD AS IT IS, tO TALK ABOUT ANYTH1NG GO1NG ON, oVER ANY PERIOD OF TIME, eVER, wHAT WITH HOW WEIRD, tIME AND CANONIC1TY AND RELEVANCE, aND TRUTH AND IMPORTANCE, aRE, i THINK i WAS GIVEN THE SPEECH ONCE, aBOUT THE THREE PILLARS, bUT i JUST DIDN'T GET IT, i MEAN, i AM HERE NOW, aND THAT MATTERS AND, aLL OF MY GHOST BUDDIES MATTERED, dESP1TE BEING FROM, dOOMED TIMELINES AND THINGS, mOSTLY, i GUESS SOME WERE JUST, dEAD DEAD, bUT THEY GOT BETTER, aND THAT GHOST ARMY WAS REALLY COOL, aND SPOILER ALERT i GUESS, wE KICKED YOUR BUTT, aND EVEN i PERSONALLY, gOT A FEW LICKS 1N, aND KICKS IN, aND, bRICKS IN, wHICH i MUST SAY, aLL DOES WONDERS FOR, mY POWERSCALING, i MEAN, yOU ARE A MULTIVERSAL LEVEL, tHREAT, yET i WAS ABLE TO TANK A PUNCH, fROM YOU, i MEAN i GUESS IT IS MORE THE LASERS, oR LAZERS, tHAT WERE DOING THE CRACKS IN pARADOX sPACE, oR WHATEVER IT WAS, yOU WERE DOING, hONESTLY YOUR MOTIVES ARE KIND OF HAZY AND CONFUSING, tO ME, pERSONALLY, bUT, eVEN IF i DID NOT TANK YOUR STRONGEST, aTTACK i STILL TANKED, aN ATTACK, aND WAS ABLE TO GET YOU HARD ENOUGH, tO BOTHER YOU SO i THINK, tHAT WAS A PRETTY GOOD SHOWING, fOR LIL' 'OL tAV, oF i DO SAY SO MYSELF, aND, i DO SAY SO, bECAUSE, iT'S 1MPORTANT, eSPECIALLY FOR ME PERSONALLY, bUT ALSO IN GENERAL, tO BE SELF-ASSURED, iN YOURSELF, aND REMEMBER YOUR POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS, wHICH IS SOMETHING i SOMETIMES FORGET, tO DO BUT, iT'S GOOD FOR ME, tO DO, aND i AM NOW LIKE, wAY STRONGER THAN i USED TO BE, tOO, i'VE BEEN PRACTICING, wITH THAT GIRL, tHOUGH WE HAVE SORT OF, sOFT CANCELED THAT, fOR A VARIETY OF REASONS OF WHICH, i WILL NOT GET INTO WITH YOU, m1STER nOSY, aND i AM GETTING WAY BETTER WITH, mY COMMUNION POWERS, aND i WONDER IF, tHEY WOULD WORK ON THE sPORE CREATURES, iF THEY WERE REAL, lIKE, tHEY ARE DEFINITELY ANIMALS, bUT EVENTUALLY, tHEY STOP BEING ANIMALS, mAYBE EXCEPT, wE'RE ALL ANIMALS, bUT, tHERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT KEEPS ME FROM USING MY POWERS, oN PEOPLE, iNSTEAD OF JUST sPORE CREATURES, sO MAYBE IT IS, aFTER THEY ENTER THE TRIBAL STAGE THAT, i WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO INFLUENCE THEM, aS i WOULD LIKE, nOT THAT i WOULD LIKE TO TAKE PAN CONTROL OVER, sOME RANDOM GROUP OF, sOPHONTS BUT, iT IS GOOD TO KNOW MY LIMITS, aND THE EXTENT OF MY ABILITIES, sO i LIKE TESTING THESE THINGS, fOR ALL i KNOW, iT COULD ACTUALLY BE, tHAT MY POWERS ARE LIKE, "COMMUNION WITH ALL HIVELESS ANIMALS," AND i ONLY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO COMMUNE WITH TROLLS, bECAUSE THEY ALL HAVE HIVES, wHICH REM1NDS ME OF THE BUILDING CREATOR, fROM sPORE, iT IS DEFIN1TELY LESS INTERESTING THAN, tHE CREATURE CREATOR, bUT YOU CAN STILL DO SOME, pRETTY FUN STUFF WITH IT, iT REMINDS ME OF THE BUILDING DRONES, fROM MY YOUTH, bUT LESS SCARY, i EVEN RECREATED MY HIVE, iN THE GAME ONCE SO, i WONDER IF IT WAS ONE OF THOSE THINGS, wHERE IT WAS SORT OF MAN1PULATED AND, hANDED TO US, tO SECRETLY PREPARE US FOR sGRUB WHICH, i GUESS i TECHNICALLY APPRECIATE, bUT ALSO, tHE WHITE GUY SUCKS BAD AND, i REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE HIM FURTHER, tHOUGH THAT BEING SAID, i WONDER IF i COULD MAKE HIM, iN sPORE THEN MAKE HIM DOINGG, a FUNNY LITTL DANCE, tHUS HUMILIATING HIM, i GUESS i WOULD NEED A GOOD, sPHERE BODY PART, iS THE PROBLEM, uNLESS, i MAKE HIS ENTIRE "BODY" ONLY TWO SPINE SEGMENTS LONG, wHICH IS THE MINIMUM, aND i USE THAT, aS HIS DUMB STUPID ORB HEAD, aND THEN, bUILD THE REST OF THE BODY, dOWN, uSING ARM AND LEG PARTS, wHICH WOULD MAKE HIM AWFUL FLOPPY AND STUPID, lOOKING WHICH, iS PRETTY DESERVED AND HONESTLY, tHE LEAST BAD THING i COULD DO TO H1M, aFTER MANY BAD TH1NGS, tHAT HE DESERVES TO HAPPEN FOR HIM, fOR BEING A JERK AND, kIND OF A CREEP, aLSO, aND BY KIND OF i MEAN, a MAJOR CREEP, i DO NOT REALLY WANT TO GET INTO 1T BUT, bASICALLY THAT GUY, iS BAD NEWS, aND i THINK THE ONLY REASON, hE HAS NOT COME TO BOTHER ME, pERSONALLY, iS HE KNOWS i WOULDN'T FALL, fOR HIS WILES, tHAT OR, hE HAS NOT REALIZED THAT i AM, a GIRL, yET, sINCE THAT SEEMS TO BE, tHE TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC OF SAID, "wILES," OR MAYBE, iT'S THAT i'M AN ADULT, wHICH JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW TIMELESS A GAME, sPORE IS THAT EVEN, aS AN ADULT WOMAN, iT CAN CAPTURE THE IMAGINATION AND MAKE ME THINK, aND OOH, aND AHH, wITH WONDER, aT ITS BEAUT1FUL WORLDS AND, cOOL CREATURES, oNE TIME i GOT ONE OF THE RARE SPECIAL, pLANETS AS MY HIVE PLANET'S MOON SO i COULD JUST, lOOK UP AT THE SKY, aND SEE THIS SPHERE OF WATER, hUGGGED BY A SORT OF CUBOID GRID, oF DIRT AND ROCKS AND, wHAT HAVE YOU, i WISH i REMEMBER WHAT CREATURES, i EVOLVED ON THAT PLANET, i SHOULD HAVE MADE THEM, bASE THEMSELVES OFF THAT MOON OR, mAKE A RELIGION OUT OF IT, oR SOME SORT OF ROLEPLAY THING, lIKE THAT, i WAS ABOUT TO SAY YOU CAN'T REALLY, dO RELIGION IN THE GAME BUT, iT 1S LITERALLY ACTUALLY, a GAMEPLAY MECHANIC, eVEN IF THE WORLDBUILDING FOR IT, iS LACKING, iT'S BASICALLY JUST A GENERIC, rELIGION, rELIGION, tYPE DEAL, aND YOU CONVERT OTHER CITIES BY YELLING AT THEM WITH A MEGAPHONE, iT'S THE SAME GAMEPLAY AS TAKING OVER RIVAL CITIES WITH MILITARY MIGHT, bUT 1N EXCHANGE FOR BEING WEAKER, yOU ARE LESS DISLIKED BY OTHERS, aND WHEN YOU CAPTURE CITIES, yOU GET TO KEEP THE BUILD1NGS, uNDAMAGED, wHICH IS MAYBE A WORTHWHILE TRADE-OFF, sINCE THE GAME IS NOT THAT HARD, aNYWAYS, sO 1T'S GOOD FUN TO JUST, dO W (1/?)
