Rolling up the contents of a town into a big, sticky ball.

I've been playing Paradox games, so I'm probably going straight to the Hague and deserving it

Not paying for the resources that I collected to survive while crash landed on an alien planet.

But I'm almost done.

Genocide

Using obscene amounts of violence to protect freedom and democracy across the galaxy.

RimWorld... I'm not the type for cannibalism or human skin hats, but I do produce and sell a shitload of cocaine.

Oh, and I killed a child colonist, in this run. There was a bug in her age-up event, and the game would not let me proceed until she was... removed. I hate killing children, but since it was the end of the world without doing so, I give myself a pass this time
