I would assume a cocaine addict actually wants a high-cocaine rail.

It is small and cramped in adult hands.

But is space (and its resources) truly infinite?

Obviously, the blue part is land.

“Games as a service” are by design never really finished, right? If you are cool with that, go for it. I have never personally tried one.

As an illustration, grab an endgame save from 1.0 and open it up in a modern version of the game. The moment you step out of the door, you will be greeted with a series of cutscenes/dialogs explaining several of the various game mechanics that were added in the versions since 1.0. These are game mechanics that, if they had been part of the game from the start, would have greatly altered how one would have chosen to play and reach endgame. One may have prioritized different crops, events, upgrades, relationships, decorations, etc.

Stardew Valley is absolutely worth the money, and the content updates definitely make it even more of a bargain. But calling the transition from 1.0 to 1.6+ “minor adjustments to gameplay” is disingenuous.

I just miss the days when games were already finished upon release.

What would you call it? Live service does not really fit

My issue with Stardew Valley content updates is that they change how the game works. It is not just adding extra postgame missions or something. The content updates tend to fundamentally change how some things work. Your possible/preferred routes to reach endgame today are much different than they were in 2016. It makes it feel like perpetual Early Access.

Game changing updates like this every so often that make you feel like it is an unfinished game still in early access. You may as well just wait until it is finished to actually start playing.

EDIT: Sorry, that is far from “high level”

On a US VPN, it shows as $33.99 + $20 shipping for me

I have used this as a drop-in replacement, with no complaints.

Florisboard (Android keyboard) was recently updated for the first time in two years. Literally one day after I had given up on it and uninstalled it.

I agree that comments like that are unhelpful/unnecessary, but how is that “for their own benefit”? Other than the actual devs themselves using that as a way to just ignore issues, I do not follow

Thanks for bringing this up! I started a thread here for us Lemmings to discuss: https://lemmy.one/post/19193506
