No killing them is too extreme. Put them in a room with 1,000 different types of ringing telephones for a week.

That would be a good penalty for them. Their phone number(s) must always be public so anyone can call them whenever they want.

I thought this was going to be the thing where they use cheap power to raise big weights and then generate power from gravity lowering them.

Prepare for more pointless traffic backups.

Yeah looks similar to Divinity Original Sin 2. I installed a camera mod on that so I could get lower and closer, but that of course caused some weirdness in the skybox.

Interesting. David Zaslav, also the guy who pulled programming from HBO Max and renamed it Max.

Ads as a general concept are ok to me, otherwise a lot of the Internet that is free will either go away or cost money. It's just how many ads and what type. Pop-up ads are bad, too many ads are bad, ads that are deceptive are bad. They need to be small, curated, non-intrusive, and non-deceptive.

It's always amusing to me when a game has a huge download size but is also an overhead view game and you probably can't even get the camera close enough to the world objects to see the full texture detail.

A rotunda is a round building, usually with a dome ceiling. This particular one is the University of Virginia rotunda.

The lips around the d-pad and buttons look terrible.

Agreed on most points, but if you try to do anything unusual on Steam Deck like install Heroic Launcher or get emulators working, you fully realize you are on Linux.

Stardew Valley

There's a man who knows his rotundas.

Fairly minimalist, I like the big clock and the step meter.

Seems like scrip for the Worldcoin company store. Give us your eyeball data, get some Worldcoin, trade for a water bottle.

Bug free is not possible, but there are certainly degrees of bugs. If I pay for software that is supposed to balance my checkbook and it has errors in the math, I would expect those errors to be fixed or my money returned. If one of the buttons is 2px out of alignment, it's not a big deal. The software should at least functionally do what you paid for it to do, without any additional expense. IMHO.

Sure. Happiness is something you need to curate, and it's a state of mind. Lowered expectations can help. I don't need a huge house and expensive cars and lots of material possessions. That is just more to maintain and pay for.

If I have my health and my family and friends are reasonably healthy/happy and I have free time to spend as I please, I'm happy. I try to play as much as I work, that's the balance that works for me.

I can see both sides of this. I don't usually update an app unless I'm having problems that are fixed in a later update.

Ongoing development of an app can be for various things. For things like bugfixes to existing code, I don't think we should necessarily pay for that. For brand new features that weren't promised before and didn't exist before there could be a case for paying for that.

Not sure if any of the apps are mature enough to do that yet. But anyone who answers will need to know, iOS or Android?

You will probably have to find an app you like and then request that feature from the author(s).

There is that one brunette on the right, reminds me of a movie/video I saw where the same AI woman kept popping up.
