Openttd is epic :)
That also came out a very, very long time ago ๐Ÿ˜‚
I played the hell out of that as well, on the biggest maps of course.

Here's a fun fact - In the OG version you couldn't change the game speed. a play through as long as it took - which was 'forever' as far as I recall ๐Ÿ˜…

it just always 'sold out' on AH - but I can just walk to the local AH or Jumbo and take it off the shelf.

For those of you whom enjoy 'Daddies Favourite Sauce' more, that's made in Poland.
And it was also created by the same man who invented HP Sauce.. small world innit.

You can get HP in Jumbo and AH though :)

What I find hilarious is that HP sauce, literally 'Houses of Parliament' sauce - Is actually made here in the Netherlands.

What annoys me is we're limited to this small bottle design only.

I'm sure there used to be more living history back a good 15 years ago now, sadly seems to be very little in recent years, which is a shame i feel
I've graced the stage a bunch of times over the years myself.

I run three 4k monitors in a row next to each other,
video and audio editing takes a lot of space :)

I can, and do, switch one to portrait mode when I need to read a lot of text.
