I’m of the impression this is the same dynamics as seen in other competitive appealing activities where almost anybody can join and dream of becoming famous and rich, like starting a band or a YouTube channel, playing sports and - according to Freakonomics - drug dealing. The profit distribution is extremely skewed towards the top, leaving most of the participants with wages well below average.

Steam link. Very positive reviews, sightly more than 10 bucks in the sale. Has not yet been cheaper.

Ha, you think this is to lower the budget or the price? Come on!

Will there be a modding support at all?

Question is, what is its Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF)?

By breaking the play store version often. It was not possible for author to update it for several years. Seems it got better recently, but still, to have a full fledged version of Termux, you need to install it from a different source - f-droid, ideally.

So that’s why google is killing termux.

…also in the game!

Well this is how the app states it. It resolves to this: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=0%3A00+GMT%2B8

Unfortunately not easy in my country - only for repeated warranty claims.

No, it’s the same minute every day, for everyone in the world. 0:00 GMT+8

They have already practically ended it. The official process makes the user jump through so many hoops - registering account, using it for 30 days (!!!), installing their app, begging for unlock through it, getting random errors which the official support refuses to explain (!!!) and only after that having the chance to try to hit the daily unlock request window which lasts less than one minute each day (!!!) - that it is practically non existent. Fuck the fucking fuckers.

What’s the original picture there? I want to see the little guy’s face!

Aaa, the one temporarily featuring Hitler toaster ;)

Weeeell, there’s a school of though leaning towards the opinion that using VPS is still self-hosting ;)

This. The stuff OP hates in the games is added as the “endgame content” for people planning on spending half their lifetime in the game. That kind of “content” is generally not added to single-player-first games like those you mentioned.

There has been an improvement - and regulations - in this regard over time, so you both may be right.

Similar top-down cultural phenomenon dictated by corpos is concept of “personal carbon footprint” - as a means of shifting blame and focus from them to individuals. This is almost conspiracy level unbelievable when heard for the first time, but true nonetheless.

Well first you need guaranteed food, shelter and safety for everyone, so people don’t feel existential pressures. Which means you have to start with utopia before expanding on the ideas you present…
