Cursed golem description is poor

[ShadowOTE]

Is it... chocolate cake that comprises this golem?

[Spikey00]

but you can't keep crying over every mistake,
you just keep on trying till you run out of cake....

I'd support the idea of a cake golem lol

Yeha but I am just trying to help. Not complain. I mean I am fine without the description.

Someone doesn't understand the reference.

Go play Portal! Like, right now!

I could show you where it came from, but it's so much better to experience it first hand.

The Cake is a like.

All the reference you need, and I'd highly recommend that you give the orange box a try at some point, as that contains portal.

...after picking up multiple copies of AI war and it's expansions for your friends/family/neighbour/dog etcetera of course

Anyway, back to topic. TL;DR the cursed golem's description doesn't give any reason to take it, but the stats do. Except you can't see the stats of a broken golem until it's repaired.

*Lightbulb flickers on*

Why not have broken golems set up the same way as spire mining enclosures, where you can see the structure's stats AND the ship(s) it produces? I'd support that!

I have played portal. I have heard the song. But I didn't know that it was THAT song you thought of... I don't remember the whole lyric of it? xD lols.

Everyone's been skirting around it, but no one's posted the link to the actual song:

It's Portal's closing credits song "Still Alive".  The crying/cake lines are about 40 seconds in.  It's absolutely brilliant in how it manages to capture the passive-aggressive personality of GLaDOS, reveal the ending twist, and be funny and relevant to the context of the game, while also being a catchy tune.

...it's the reward for completing the game, and hearing it before completing the game made it less amusing and unexpected for me.

Spoiler: Even though you broke my heart / And killed me / And tore me to pieces / And threw every piece into a fire. <- Hints at the ending somewhat

On a completely different note, does anyone know the Hexcode for the background of the forum? The closest I can come to is E8E8E8 and even then I suspect it might be a little on the dark side...

Which is exactly why the last thing one wants to do is hear it before completing the game.
