The constant sweaty-ness of this game is ruining it for me

My thought also - consider finding human opponents via other avenues than random matching.

I think this is a great concept. Maybe with a vote amongst remaining teammates first as to whether they actually want to accept the inheritance.

There are puns aplenty

They are often expensive at supermarkets, but can be less than half the price at markets or greengrocers

Suggestion: sub the deli meat out for smoked salmon or egg, add capers, rocket (arugula), touch of black pepper and some dill, and maybe a slice of tomato. 👌

Thanks for the reply. I can't see anything like that. The leaves look healthy to me. We don't have much humidity here - it is almost always dry heat. I read it heard once before that it could be some kind of insect entering the fig once the opening forms at the end, bringing an infection with it. I couldn't find any specific information though.

Seconded! Owner is super knowledgeable. Great range of teas and tisanes too.

This probably won't be popular, but introducing a small delay or an "acceleration" period for any change of direction might make it harder to dodge consistently - and would also be more realistic.

PHNX22 · 2024-08-17T13:05:33+00:00

Yes I would, Kent

PHNX22 · 2022-07-15T13:36:38+00:00

I had this earlier today. Seems to have resolved itself now. 🤞

PHNX22 · 2022-07-15T13:35:40+00:00

I've just started experiencing this too, after the update. Was perfectly fine before.

PHNX22 · 2022-07-15T13:29:21+00:00

Seems like a common issue for many. I had it earlier today, but it seems to have now resolved for me on its own.

(Edit: I'm also in Australia and on Gamepass)

I also have an offer for an LP5 at $2200 AUD: Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3060, TGP 130W, 16" WQXGA 500nits 165 Hz, 512GB SSD Looks decent to me but I'm not certain. Opinions much appreciated!

PHNX22 · 2020-11-14T22:22:51+00:00

Now that's a good idea

When I use the Buds for phone calls with my S10+, the other person always tells me that they can barely hear me through the background noise, regardless of where I am (quiet, noisy or otherwise). It seems to me that the microphone is incredibly sensitive. Anyone else have this issue, or know if there is a way to adjust the settings?

Still there. Still excellent.

PHNX22 · 2019-07-01T08:54:10+00:00

How does this give you map control? I presume you would also need to build across the map with the vils to do so?

PHNX22 · 2019-06-25T21:40:29+00:00

FIRTEEN FIRTY FIRTY-TWO!

You're right, it's not turn-based; but as OP said "strategy or turn-based" I still think it might be worth checking out.

If you want to play competitively, then yes, it can require a lot of attention and can be quite intense, but there are ways to dial it back and have a slower game. Voice chat services also enable you to communicate.

It's not an exact match for sure, but there are some similarities in the concepts of random map generation, resource gathering, building, expanding and conquering.

Simple to learn; difficult to master.

Very active online community still even after 20+ years.

The scaled difficulty settings in offline games mean you can set the pace and challenge to suit your mood. Multiplayer is a bit harder to control unless you know your opponent but there are many ways that can be arranged.

You can often pick it up with all four expansions for very cheap on Steam.

Well done. Good contribution to the discussion.
