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)

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!

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.

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!

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?

Does anyone think it would worth reaching out to any of the existing mods / users of some of these subreddits (like AusFinance) to see if they would get involved here on Lemmy?

As with all things user driven these new communities are going to need people to generate content.

I actually might start to lurk some of these larger Reddit’s again to steal content for this instance to help get things started.

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.

There are some newer posts over there when sorting by ‘New’, I have no idea why the ‘Hot’ posts are so old with no activity on them though.

I agree that we should either have a new community here or add a link to the other community in a sticky / server sidebar note so that we can have more general discussion somewhere.

Looks like there is one on lemmy.ml.

Hopefully that link works, I thnk I found the correct format to send people there without leaving this instance.

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!
