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?

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've recently started using tmux when starting a new SSH session to try to build the habit.

It's sunny and around 20 here in Newy, though the wind is a little chilly today, looks like the weekend will be similar too.

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!

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!

Yeah, look at them all wearing the same shirt and hat. Idiots.

Good. Hopefully this passes and policy continues to squash this shit industry into the ground.

Rephrasing something I've heard before, if you have to gamble to enjoy something then you probably don't actually enjoy it (sports, pubs, etc.)

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.

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!
