Completed: Stellaris

Wait Tim, how can you only now be completing a game you have more than 700 hours in? Great question!

While I've played a lot of Stellaris, I have rarely finished a game as it starts to get to be a slog in the late game. This time, I fired up an Ironman mode game with my new empire, the Korinth Guardianship.

My intention with the empire was to be a small, turtle empire. Impregnable when the final crisis game.

Intention didn't match reality as I was forced to change my ethics a few times and had so expand to protect some neighbors. Started out wanting to be an isolationist, ended up leading the federation, having a few vassals, and being the galaxy's custodian.

In the end, the robot uprising was quelled, the Guardianship won the day! And with that win, another $200 to Extra Life!
