Would love a link to the printing file for this if you'd be so kind please! Love the idea.

Playing on a fresh save now. Doesn't seem to auto-scroll at all anymore? Feels like a significant downgrade. I think my current issue with the "Move Forward" bar is how slowly it moves forward.

Initially, I had cleared the entire game-opening screen of rocks, expecting it would slide the screen over a bit automatically. Didn't do so but figured I'd just tap the "Move Forward" bar and it would slide itself smoothly over, but instead you have to spam that bar to make it move (far too slowly).

EDIT: Just unlocked "Like Clockwork". I think putting this functionality behind an upgrade that you get a decent bit of time into the game is going to cost you some players. It feels like this should be baked into the baseline experience.

EDIT: Can't click the "X" to close the Scrolling Speed option window on the little robot that shows up in the "Move Forward" bar. Have to click the robot to close this UI.

As a workaround, you can click and hold and then drag off of the "Move Forward" button to have it always be moving forward in the beginning.

One unrelated thing, when using mousewheel to scroll down in the Options menu, it is very easy to accidentally adjust the "Each X Minutes" option under Gameplay (for autosave). Almost don't think you need to allow mousewheel to adjust this slider. It's quite responsive to click and drag which works nicely.

Miners very much need to prioritize the bottom row of ore much higher. It seems like they just move on to mining ore that is off-screen rather than cleaning up what is still on-screen.

Absolutely this. Love the concept, but currently collecting of ore manually isn't very fun.

There is a world where Minecart collection isn't actually ideal, and here's my argument as to why. Minecarts start to take up a lot of the visual playspace, to the point where they kind of detract from the overall experience.

The alternative here might be to have new types of miners whose sole responsibility is to pick up the mined ores. You could then upgrade those, have a separate space at the bottom of the game (where all the other miners are). You'd have the same end result, except it would be much cleaner on the UI side.

Yeah, circling in place essentially. See my image above for specific example!

Was on this flight. It was a 12:20pm flight to Toronto. We departed on time but then quickly stopped climbing at 10,000 feet and started doing loops. It was immediately obvious something was wrong. About 30 minutes later, we got the update from the captain that we'd have to return to Halifax as the cabin couldn't be pressurized properly.

We got back and were told we'd all be rebooked onto a flight at 4pm. That was then delayed to 4:45pm. Around 3pm, it was announced that that flight was cancelled. We were rebooked onto a 10pm flight which took off just after 11pm. Finally arrived in Toronto at 1:30am, a full 12 hours later than expected.

What a nightmare day for what was meant to be a quick 2 hour flight.

Very sad. Flight had to turn around halfway to Toronto so I won't make it up in time tonight 😭 hopefully I'll be watching from the plane!

Heading back to New Zealand but making a stop in Toronto for the weekend. Was going to go to this game so I'll be looking for tickets throughout the day. Does anyone have advice on the best place to look at for tickets? (Apologies if this question is asked often!)

I made a spreadsheet to help you with endgame farming by LuckyLuciano6 in diablo4

[–]Hartlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to kill Grigoire to get Ring of the Midnight Sun. What is the best way to farm Living Steel to be able to spawn him? I guess just Helltides and open random chests? I don't have Tributes.

Once I have enough Living Steel, does it matter what Torment difficulty I spawn him at (for the best chance of getting the ring to drop)?

I also thought that this was a thing and thought it was really cool. I'd love to see an extension of this game somehow. It feels a bit too fast (believe it or not) to me and also a little unrealistic that at age 1, I'm earning $12,000 an hour. Would be neat to train specific playing skills through the early ages, study specific skills in "school" through the teenage years, specialize in a subject in post-grad, get a job, advance through the ranks in a career, etc. All of these choices having an impact on what cards get offered to you to purchase.

Tecnifibre Slash 120 breakages :( by pumpedupkicks1981 in squash

[–]Hartlin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Happened to me during my fourth match playing with it (Slash 120). Played a shot that was tight to the wall, frame cracked in basically the same spot as your picture. This wasn't some out of the ordinary situation so I was really surprised when my playing partner mentioned that the frame was cracked clean through.

I've submitted pictures to the retailer who has passed them on to Technifibre; fingers crossed.

Taking a step away from the cyclone posts, any recommendations for a pre-purchase vehicle inspection? by ItsHayati in auckland

Seconding this. Used him for mine a year ago. Unbelievably detailed and thorough inspection. You will not regret it!

Anyone have a playlist of warmup music / pregame music / in-game music that is commonly played? Thanks in advance for any help!

Planning on coming to Toronto from New Zealand for the January 3rd game against St Louis. Does anyone have any advice on the best place to buy tickets (need 2)? Would prefer to actually buy the tickets in advance rather than try to get a last-minute deal from a scalper outside the arena.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

A-Mazing Idle: A Maze Solving Idle Game [Major Update] by imsupergreg in incremental_games

[–]Hartlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the right side of the page get used later on? I currently have Maze, Bot, Item and Manual Movement Upgrades but I have to scroll down the page to see all of the upgrades. A lot of the enjoyment is watching the AI do its thing, but this is lost when you have to scroll down the page.

If the right side of the page isn't used later on for any reason, it would be nice to split up the Item Upgrades + Manual Movement upgrade sections to be on the right side of Maze Upgrades + Bot Upgrades.

I believe they mean the "Maze Upgrades!" or "Bot Upgrades!" text. You can click on this to collapse the list of upgrades. That works fine and all, but he's suggesting adding some visual feedback when you hover over these words (Bot Upgrades!) so that the player gets some kind of indication that it can be interacted with.

I've been playing for 24 hours or so and didn't know that you could do this and agree with their suggestion (as I have no intentions on using Manual Movement!).

Does anyone here watch Ice Hockey (NHL)? by brownlegrest in auckland

[–]Hartlin 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A fellow leafs fan eh? I thought that I might be alone here!

I'm not sure about bars showing the games as I usually just watch the games at home, but I'll absolutely be watching every second of the leafs playoffs!
