I do this as well. When I am in between games, I may fire up Master of

My first read-through of that comment was that you were firing up
"Master of Orion 3" as your go-to game, and my opinion of you dropped
drastically. Then I read more closely and I very much approve of your
choices ;-)


(Although to be fair, my own feelings on MOO3 are entirely based on my
playthrough of the release version of the game back in 2003.
Apparently the developers -and later the fans- have been working on
reclaiming that title, and it's no longer quite as bad as it was when
it first came out. So maybe it's worth playing nowadays and I
shouldn't automatically assume everyone who does so has no taste in
video games. Still, I've no immediate desire to see how much it has
changed; not when I still have the first two games of the series to
occupy me ;-)
