I tend to use less powerful bows or weaker pals to weaken, call back your pal when most work has been done and use better balls for stronger pals.

Looked forward to it. Taking their jolly time, but I'm sure it'll be awesome.

Looks good.

I really like OpenSuse, but the setup and configuration wasn't easy or straightforward. Manjaro had a superior way to setup partition for example. If they make this process smooth, it would really help folk experience a great OS that just works and is up to date.

The community centre can be a really interesting place.

Going to the mines can also be quite rewarding.

Good fun. Worth checking out!

I use Linux, so not Nvidia. AMD is great. Good power for the money.

They could maybe hire some testers. If you're removing beach properties, maybe test games that have beach properties. I have no idea how this falls through the gaps.

Because MineClone2 is a dreadful name, and unfortunately, when ever anyone tries to differ anything slightly, a head can be taken clean off. The project doesn't want to be a full clone, but heavily inspired by, but with it's own direction. It needed to go.

I'm yet to spend 1 penny on MTX and any game that has them, I avoid. It has been satisfying. Indie is QQQ for me. The Q is of course quality.

A great game, and a massive patch list. Could be good fun for a returning player, or new players.

For those that haven't tried this game, it's very addictive and very fun. I've got 150+ hours on it, and I'm not done yet. Good fun as multiplayer too!

RimWorld (www.gog.com)

The game probably needs no introduction, but hey, a story generator sim colony type game.

Bizarre and lots of fun. Whether it's getting attacked by pirates, or angry rats, fighting infections or drug addictions to save your colonists. I feel a little part of me dies every time I lose a colonist. Intense.

I'm 83 hours in, and barely getting started. It's wonderful.

Have you played RimWorld? How long for? Any interesting stories? (the steam reviews are a gold mine for this)

Absolute bargain price if you ask me. Played over 250 hours of Valheim. A great immersive game, and at this price, a bit too good to say no to if you haven't tried it. A survival must play.

Highly recommend.

I absolutely love this game, and the music always makes me smile. The main tune is one of the best game songs I know :).

To oversimplify, it's Theme Hospital for adults. Complex, serious, and some times stressful when you have a collapsed patient. I end up favouriting my collapsed patients as I really need to know they get better and make it out ok.

I have 70+ hours play time from this. Really well made game. Needs more love.

Have you played it? What did you think?

Sharing this because it's a game I've played and enjoyed. Multiplayer isn't there and local co-op is buggy, but pretty fun for single player.

Stardewesque, but all about managing your own tavern.

Agreed. If they can get an English speaking engineering lead, they would have so many applicants, especially with recent layoffs.

A techie with both language skills would be highly valuable to them.

Obviously it's a very hyped up game, and I was apprehensive posting this as they have sufficient marketing behind them already. It's meme'd as "Pokemon with Guns", but at its core is a very heavy survival play style.

Have you tried it? How many hours in are you?

If you have, what do you think? How does it stack up against other survival games for you?

My view is in the comments...

Edit: First 2 votes are downvotes and into minus immediately? I get you may not like the hype. Say it, but this is to also stimulate debate and build this community. We're off the lemm.ee first page and any downvote is just going to contribute to keeping this community buried when it needs a little oxygen. Do we really want another dead small community? It's also an opportunity to bring folk into survival games...

Project zomboid had to start again after flat got burgled and laptop gone. Offsite backups are key for theft and fire. Version control is the easiest and cheapest way.

Someone always knows someone that drinks, smokes and eats crap and lives until mid 90s. Doesn't mean it's good health advice.

Beware anecdotal evidence.

I mean, we've all seen some hype around recently about games in the genre, and I wanted to share this because it's awesome. Been playing it recently, and it definitely scratches that Pokemon itch, while being unique in its own right. Made with a lot of love, and also on Godot. What's not to like?!

Have you played it? What do you think?

Thanks for the update and information. You really set an example for communication and level headedness in decision making. Thanks for providing this space for us.
