amalgamated_inc··on How much it will cost you to go green
> It costs £640 to insulate the roof of an average semi-detached house

What?! How cheap are contractors in the UK?? I would've expected this to be in the 10s of thousands.

The merits of their point was literally to murder, decapitate, cook, and consume their political opponents.

I think humor is appropriate.

Are you saying this is possible?

Ha pretty fun! I played until you get the sidekick guy (?) you can't hit.

Mechanics wise it's pretty much just "mash the kick until everyone dies" but the music was peppy.

Also the way your character walks down slopes was surprisingly realistic, that's exactly how I walk down slopes.
