The Lake Between Them / El Lago Entre Ellos
The glacier that held this valley for a hundred thousand years began to retreat, and in the hollow it left behind, meltwater gathered. Season after season it pooled, deepened, cooled, and stayed.

Honored by the recognition from a former 10 Downing Street Special Adviser to the UK Prime Minister. Hearing that Suzerain deeply reflects the realities of how government truly works is incredibly meaningful to us at @torporgames.com This kind of institutional feedback further fuels our mission.

I'm not ready to talk about the sci-fi novel I'm writing in too much detail yet, but here's a meme about what it's inspired by without any further context
Meme using the intro sequence of Powerpuff Girls Professor Utonium mixing Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice, but accidentally allowing Chemical X to enter the mixture. Each scene has something different superimposed over it to represent a different inspiration.

Sugar: The Expanse/Andor
Spice: Babylon Berlin/Disco Elysium
Everything Nice: Dune/Suzerain
Chemical X: Current Events

if steam counted the time i spent listening to the rizia dlc soundtrack on repeat as hours played that would probably add another hundred to my playtime in suzerain. thought that occurs as i hit play on the rizia soundtrack in my steam library again.

Been thinking how Suzerain is an excellent sim for the times we find ourselves in, what with the options as president to purge the general staff, rig the supreme court and give yourself immunity from prosecution for life.
