That’s what I thought. Looks like something children will enjoy. I’m not ready to take it off my wishlist but I almost did.

That’s fair. When my kids were young I gave up games all together for years. Now that we’re empty nesters I have lots of time! 😈

I got a copy of that to play with my son. Turned out it’s online and we shared an account so he played it and I watched on occasion.

He loved it but it’s done with it. It’s something I could install and have a go at it now that I think about it.

I’ll give it a go this weekend.

Lewis Hamilton said something like that too I think.

I’m looking forward to it!

That makes sense to me.

I’ve played it after several of the updates and it’s pretty much the same game with a new coat of paint. A mile wide and an inch deep. But the game keeps getting wider and playing it now for the first time would probably be pretty great.

I loved it when it first came out because since I was a little boy playing Atari in the 80s I wanted to play a game where I could fly to space, between planets, and back in real time. This was the first game that gave me a satisfying experience like that. And it’s still my favorite part.

Edit: I played Star Citizen after which is a better experience for that, I put ~80 hours in so if it never comes out I got my $50 worth of play time. But I stay fairly close to development on it hoping I’ll get to play a finished version someday.

For those interested, Traffic by Tom Vanderbilt digs into this and many other things about traffic in the west. I’ve read it twice and plan to read it at least one more time.

OMG, this is perfect! No notes!

They did for sure, and he’s now careful about what he says which is smart. He learned a ton through that very public failure.

I’m looking forward to their next game.

What about people who don’t know how to turn off a light? Asking for a friend…

This is the right answer! 🤣🤣🤣

And now I want to see the CEO doing just this.

10 years, I was a much different man when I first played this game. Part of my would like to forget the time and start fresh with all these updates.

You have ten seconds to comply! [Mechanical Growl]

I have yet to find a launcher that gives me all the options I want without compromise. I’ve used all the popular ones, many less popular ones.

Though Octopi launcher might work for me. I’ve been able to overcome most of the shortcomings this morning. The having a whole new desktop between portrait and landscape is really bothersome on my tablet so we’ll see if I stick with it.

Plus Octopus is Greek not Latin. I know it’s pedantic over a name but it’s Octopuses.

I’m giving Octopi a shot. It seems to offer most of what I like from Nova. It’s a bit quirky though particularly with placing widgets and editing them.

Any pro-tips you’ve learned you can share with the launcher?

Nova launcher is still fine. I’ve used most of the others and keep coming back.

Fuckity fuck fuck fuck!!!

Spicy, thank you!

Can you make this less dull and tell us what was wrong and what you for?

I find electricity fascinating and totally frightening.
