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

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!

I’ve mostly used kdenlive and have had a pretty positive experience, +1 from me

Agreed, I believe there should be more policy and legislation from the top down rather than being conscious of my own behaviours when it comes to privacy.

There should be harsher penalties for corporations or individuals found selling or leaking user data. There have been a number of high profile data breaches in Australia recently that I found went quiet far too quickly.

Just deleted my ~13 year old account, I was never attached to it much, mostly lurked on subreddits that I enjoyed. Looking to be more active on lemmy though!
