I’m in the same boat. The water based upkeep mechanic seems punishing, especially for time starved / more casual gamers.

I do think it’s very on theme with the game, I hope that they’ll tweak it over time - something interesting could be adding a way for more active players to contribute surplus water to a shared supply.

If they manage to tidy the game up and fix some of the glaring issues I’d likely still give it a try even with the water “feature”.

Does the mechanic turn you off the game completely?

Nice timing indeed. I’ve read a few review aggregators for the remake and it appears that it’s better in every way than the original, so I’m sure you guys will enjoy it.

This is such an interesting remake, I remember playing this when it came out more than 10 years ago, I didn’t think it was anything special then.

From what I can see it sold more than 1 million copies back then though, interested to see how well the remake is received and how popular it is.

I picked up and finished Nodebuster this week. It’s a pretty chilled out incremental improvement style game that almost becomes idle closer to the end.

I’ve also been trying to get some games of Spectre Divide (new f2p tactical FPS game) in this week too.

I’ve recently started using tmux when starting a new SSH session to try to build the habit.

git push origin HEAD is a slightly shorter way of doing the same thing, even though you have an alias anyway lol

What’s everyone opinion on protests like this? Imo this gets a decent message out there with pretty minimal impact to anything other than the businesses managing and utilising the port as well as emergency services.

Awesome! Do you work in graphic design or is it a hobby of yours?

Sounds like they’re going to look great.

Classic snack that. Might have to pick up some saos!

I actually have been digging the Vegemite shapes that are out at the moment, is there something wrong with me?

Interesting, apparently I’m running version 0.0.33, perhaps it’s a difference there?

I’m not sure if you mean something else but I’m fairly certain the bookmark icon on a post will allow you to save a post and view it later.

(Sorry for the rushed screenshot, hopefully you get the idea though)

It’s sunny and around 20 here in Newy, though the wind is a little chilly today, looks like the weekend will be similar too.

Maybe if I don’t buy this year the prices will go up and the rates will drop? I can do my part.

I’ve found it can be a little resource intensive - though I only used it for a couple of projects and haven’t tried it again!

Luckily we don’t spend a lot of money comparative to our income, our habits haven’t changed but our discretionary spend and grocery bill has increased a bunch. I can’t imagine how others are currently coping with the cost of living.

Unless this was enacted globally I could see larger corps leaving a nation that employed this strategy if it hit their bottom line hard enough.

Universal Basic Income sounds good in theory and personally I can see the benefits, though I doubt society would ever fully accept such a policy.

I do think that in the long term as more of our work becomes automated as technology accelerates something is going to have to change, UBI could be one answer to this issue.

Any of the Lego games are pretty awesome for local co-op.

I’d also recommend Castle Crashers, it’s a hack and slash / beat 'em up style game that supports up to 4 players locally.

This is an awesome shot!

I’ve seen this happen with a few image posts, not sure what’s happening there.

Perhaps try hitting the preview button before posting, just incase.
