Captain's log, stardate 2320.0214
Dec. 26th, 2018 08:57 amiiiit's the year 2320 in my stellaris playthrough so far and i have robots, and the robots are droids and so advanced enough that i can use them to colonize planets, and so i am going to colonize ALL THE PLANETS because robots have a 100% habitability for everything because they're robots
well ok. not everything. all marginally-habitable worlds. venus is right out, and the poor dears won't colonize mars for me either. but my last act before saving and closing for the day was to start a colony ship constructing to go to a nice desert world that i can mine the hell out of because my uhhh minerals? -- the red gem doohickey resource, that one -- is in the red and i would rather not keep selling food whenever i get close to the storage limit because it annoys me to do that.
i've found/been contacted by... 12/13 of the empires in this galaxy. one fallen empire. the 13th is by process of elimination somewhere on the far side of the galactic core, where i can't send science ships because one side has perma-closed borders and the other side has an empire that has twice closed its borders temporarily specifically to kick out my science ships. fuckers.
democracy has an annoying amount of turnover in rulers. funny how that works, you have to re-elect them every 10 years. after this playthrough (because i would like to not succumb to altitis and never finish, never finishing is annoying) i think i'll whip up a custom benevolent dictatorship so i can have hereditary rule. the most annoying part though is that the candidates for ?president? are picked from Top Leaderly People, and lately that's been old people, and so in i think the last 5 presidents 3 died in the middle of their term. sigh. one time (before these last 5 i think) somebody got elected and then immediately fucking died like fuck off, dude, come on
the lower-down leaders are for life at least. and i have robots and i'm gonna make them sapient and then i can have immortal robots being my scientists probably and i might even hit a level cap before they fucking die! woo!
also i'm comfortably ensconced between two empires who like me (well, ok, one of them is mad because i broke a defensive pact but sorry, man, i'm not fighting shit on your behalf) and neighbors with nobody else, so any xenophobic empires will have to invade through somebody else before they can hit me
i kinda wanna make custom humanoids that are Basically Humans But With Funky-Colored Hair but you gotta be able to manipulate .dds files and i could not figure out how to install the plugin that lets GIMP do that.
zzzzzzzzzz should take my beds. meds. take my beds -- MEDS -- and go to bed. zzzz
