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'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)

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!

'The One Ring' has a single 1/1 serialised card which is interesting, although a little on the nose with forced rarity: https://scryfall.com/card/ltr/0/the-one-ring

I'm interested in the legendary cards as I play EDH / Commander most often, here are some I'm excited for:

• Lobelia Sackville-Baggins
• Gandalf, The White
• Sauron, Lidless Eye

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.

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.

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.

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

It's hard to tell at this point, in my opinion we need more active general communities before becoming too specific. It's been a little overwhelming seeing the fragmentation of communities across instances here on Lemmy. Hopefully something happens to improve the experience, I'm liking being involved so far though!

I hadn't heard of this game but I'm definitely going to add it to my list to watch out for, thanks for sharing!

We've been thinking of buying a place for ourselves in the next 6 months and have been sitting on a decent deposit for a while. It's starting to feel like we should sign another lease agreement at our current rental and see what the next 12 months brings before committing to a mortgage in this economic climate.

Is anyone else in a similar position or has bought recently and feeling the pressure?

I'd be down for this too, I haven't found a lively community for MTG / Commander / EDH yet, which is the major CCG format I play.

I agree that being more general might help to produce more active communities to start with. Perhaps over time as people are requesting more communities there should be a voting threshold or poll system to see if enough people are interested before fragmenting a general community into more specific ones?

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.
