I played it for about 70 hours like 8 months ago, and quite enjoyed it. Will definitely go back, at some point, to see what’s been improved. There’s a REALLY solid foundation there, I think. I like to say it’s the factorio/automation genre, but distilled down to nothing but the gameplay, in its purest, most-concentrated form. My wife and son picked it back up immediately today, when they realized the big update dropped.

One thing they’ve talked about doing is improving the high-level progression. Specifically, they said their concept for better progression will be that milestone products will feed into future milestones, rather than having them just get thrown away, just like you describe. Not sure if that’s made it into the game yet, or not.

For $25 in Early Access, I think it’s a deal. If you’re really worried about there being enough gameplay/progression to keep you interested, wishlist it, and keep an eye on what the updates are adding.

I’ll take another look, but I didn’t see any such setting when I was trying to diagnose. And I haven’t changed any Plex settings since the last time we had an internet outage and it worked properly, just a month or two ago.

I recently discovered that Plex no longer works over local network, if you lose internet service. A) you can’t login without internet access. B) even if you’re already logged in, apps do not find and recognize your local server without internet access. So, yeah, Plex is already there.

The Steam release of Persona 5 Royal, unfortunately. Which is kind of insane, it’s a single-player game.

There’s some others that I can’t personally attest to, but that sure look good from what I’ve seen. Monster Hunter: Wilds, for example. And the new Doom from a few days ago, if you’re into that sorta thing. Metaphor Re-Fantasio. The new Prince of Persia from last year. Hi-Fi Rush. Rocksmith, of all things.

As of a few months ago (IIRC the timeline) Steam shows this directly on the game’s store page. You’ve got to scroll down for it a little bit, but it’s right under where it lists features of the game, E.G. single-player, controller support, etc.

Sick. I’ve tried a few times in the past to find a frontend for postgres that I liked, and was never able to. Will have to give this a try.

The most straightforward thing to do, on a private LAN, is to make all your own certs, from a custom root cert, and then manually install that cert as “trusted” on each machine. If none of the machines on this network need to accessed from outside the LAN, then you’re golden.

True, but if it’s good for users, it should be the rule for ALL apps

Easy: no one. It’s not about who asked, it’s about who paid.

How do you go about doing otherwise?

Title is definitely a bit clickbaity, and there’s nothing in this article that hasn’t been said a thousand times before, but… yeah. There really aren’t any excuses anymore for using JS over TS.

What DOES the new scanner do with its scan output, then?

A little off-topic: anyone else read this as “BCA Chefs”, initially?

Someone needs a lesson in contrast.

Welcome!

a good way to get yourself labeled by someone who thinks in memes.

What an effective way to put it.

Is it just me, or does this seem like a reasonable solution? Assuming it’s technically feasible.

KeePass on my phone and desktop, with the master file sync’d automatically to the server in my basement.

So, you’re a tech nerd who wants an addictive game?

Factorio.

Also Satisfactory, but I’m not sure how well it runs on Linux. Fairly sure Factorio will run on just about anything

Windows 11 has ads NOW, in the enterprise install I’m provided at work.
