Was this before all the QoL updates around saveable production controls and easily seeing which builds what?

I agree, easily the city builder I sunk the most hours into in the last 10+ years compared to all other ones combined.

They also keep adding to it with more world events, a new resource (salt), new biomes, and with the expansion a whole new race.

I find it fascinating how prude other people are from what is the level of “normal” in my social circle.

As if I don’t proudly rock that Subverse and Aurelia on my Steam Library! 💗

So far we don’t know this’ll be tailored for solo, either.

Because From. That’s the kings of nonsensical stuff like that.

Yeah I thought the same, of course this all costs performance.

Interesting, as DSOgaming got 4-6% in some games, 0% in others.

I mean she seems semi-retired, so I was expecting her not to return tbh.

I mean I get the idea, and I like that they’re genuinely asking to take all her money she still has away. Or get hanged, which might motivate even a billionaire.

It still feels icky though. Death penalty is never the right choice. But the underlying idea, “Actually give all your money back or face consequences” is good.

That’s billionaire logic, get out.

So we’re using a bad mechanism (exclusivity deals) to make people use an inferior product (Epic vs Steam), but “It’s totally going to be better for you in the future bro, trust me!”.

I’m sorry, but can we make it sound any more like a scam? It’s not quite there yet. Can you add something with crypto or AI or an MLM?

Epic has a lot of money, they should find a way to offer a better service in some ways like Gog does.

Gearbox Games, Robert Space Industries and Ubisoft are the big ones that come to mind.

Both indirectly (via just not respecting their customers in their products at all) and even directly (look at Dandy Pitchforks constantly whining about the mean mean players).

Sure, but as you cannot know the future, it’s a bit tricky to pick a successor you want to support based on that, instead of absolutely right-now-essential things such as “Where people actually are”.

It’s also important to keep in mind how long Twitter’s run was: It was originally founded 18 years ago. I’d be okay if every 10-15 years I have to get a new Twitter, tbh. I buy a new phone every 4-5 years, a new car every 15-20, I’m alright. It’s cheap to go onto a new Twitter, I’m far less resistant to change with that.

That is to say: Sure, maaaybe (again, can’t truly know) Mastodon is superior on a technical level. But not only is that absolutely not how social media operates, and second it really doesn’t matter if a sucessor also goes down in 10+ years. People won’t be able to care any less if a successor lasts that long, and considering how quickly Mastodon has turned into a semi-ghost-town once Bluesky got big, I kinda know what I’d put my money onto.

Of course all of this ignores a central problem with the entire category of services: They don’t conduct conversations well, even stuff like Misskey or Mastodon.

Same. It overly corrects sometimes and can be a bit laggy, but in mixed language sentences it’s unmatched by a wide margin IMO.

Trump will close his own shit down again or rebrand it to Truth X? 🤣

Caveat: Neither do most web pages.

It’s possible to criticize both Mastodon and Bluesky for their respective issues

Sure, they’re both Twitter-like and hence inherently unsuited to having a discussion for starters.

I mean, as long as Twitter goes down, who exactly gets to do the killing blow among all the individual blows doesn’t truly matter now, does it?

No they need to also be pushed off a cliff.
