Is it still necessary to use _ while naming files?
Edit: Thank you guys for your insightful answers!

I see a pattern of games mentioned here! What do you call games like theme hospital? I’d love to skim a few recommendations for these kind of games that let you hire different employees to run parts of your business.





Your suggestions are great, thank you! What’s still missing is a game that let’s you hire people with different skills and watch them do their stuff (Theme Hospital, maybe? There have to be better examples nowadays!)

A close example could be Game Dev Tycoon I played for a while. But unfortunately you really had to micromanage every step.


Cool, thank you so much! DF is on my list but the graphics … 😅



Process optimization games?
How do you call these games that let you macro-manage people/creatures/processes and you can watch your engine run? Examples are Rimworld, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Factorio. I don’t like fast action-based RTS, micromanaging games, I just love to create a world and watch it running on it‘s own! Is there a specific name for this mechanic? And what are your favorite examples?

The IPCC report is what you‘re looking for! And since it‘s it‘s almost impossible to even reach the goal of 1,5 degrees, we should hit the breaks better sooner than later. It‘s not an „oopsie“ problem we would face otherwise. People are already dying.


Around 4 times a year I get a whole weekend for myself. Sometimes I don’t even tell any friends that I’m alone at home. Oh boy. As a father of two, these weekends are better than anything else.

If I understand you correctly you criticize my usage of the word existential, bc it implies that the climate catastrophe will kill all humans? If yes, then I have to correct myself. While this could be a possible outcome, it’s not based on actual research.


People are already dying because of the heat or starving because of droughts and water scarcity. Based on the IPCC report it will become even worse, especially of we don’t manage to avoid the tipping points of the climate crisis in the next few years.


Friendly reminder that it’s not about denial anymore. It’s about how urgent is the existential threat of tipping points and how radical and fast should we act.

One side says, let’s stay reasonable, let’s not hurt the economy, don’t panic because of the these crazy Greta maniacs. Source: We managed a lot of crisis in the past, sometimes it’s not that hot, lobby money.

The other side says we have to hit the breaks immediately or a lot of people are going to die. Source: Science.


Does the good ol notpron-riddle count? I don‘t know, if it‘s solvable on mobile devices.


I second Stone Soup and FTL! Both amazing, but ugly. Also:

  • The Binding of Isaac
  • Slay the Spire
  • Mario 64
