I'm in the same boat. The water based upkeep mechanic seems punishing, especially for time starved / more casual gamers.
I do think it's very on theme with the game, I hope that they'll tweak it over time - something interesting could be adding a way for more active players to contribute surplus water to a shared supply.
If they manage to tidy the game up and fix some of the glaring issues I'd likely still give it a try even with the water "feature".
Does the mechanic turn you off the game completely?
The Forever Winter - Official Early Access Trailer
Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2828860/The_Forever_Winter/
The Forever Winter, which has launched in early access today, is a grim dark take on the PvE extraction shooter.
I'm pretty sold on the art style and premise, but will be holding off until a little later to play the game as it looks pretty rough around the edges.
Has anyone played / is planning to play this game?
Nice timing indeed. I've read a few review aggregators for the remake and it appears that it's better in every way than the original, so I'm sure you guys will enjoy it.
This is such an interesting remake, I remember playing this when it came out more than 10 years ago, I didn't think it was anything special then.
From what I can see it sold more than 1 million copies back then though, interested to see how well the remake is received and how popular it is.
I picked up and finished Nodebuster this week. It's a pretty chilled out incremental improvement style game that almost becomes idle closer to the end.
I've also been trying to get some games of Spectre Divide (new f2p tactical FPS game) in this week too.
I've recently started using tmux when starting a new SSH session to try to build the habit.
git push origin HEAD is a slightly shorter way of doing the same thing, even though you have an alias anyway lol

Does anyone else remember this story breaking last year? Apparently they've dropped manslaughter charges against the guy they've pegged with organising the whole deal.
MTG: Lord Of The Rings - anyone else excited?
I'm attending my first pre-release event for the new MTG Universes Beyond set and am super excited to get the new Commander decks to play with my small group.
Anyone else excited for the set? What cards are you most looking forward to?

I agree that being more general might help to produce more active communities to start with. Perhaps over time as people are requesting more communities there should be a voting threshold or poll system to see if enough people are interested before fragmenting a general community into more specific ones?
Getting started guide?
I've seen similar sticky posts popping up in different meta / admin communities on other instances, any interest in creating a cross-post and pinning it to this meta community too? It might help newcomers to wrap their head around Lemmy if they arrive here without hitting any of the other Lemmy sites first.
There are some newer posts over there when sorting by 'New', I have no idea why the 'Hot' posts are so old with no activity on them though.
I agree that we should either have a new community here or add a link to the other community in a sticky / server sidebar note so that we can have more general discussion somewhere.
Looks like there is one on lemmy.ml.
Hopefully that link works, I thnk I found the correct format to send people there without leaving this instance.
Anyone else based in Newcastle?
Bringing BHP, Arnott's biscuits, Silverchair, and lock out laws to the wider Australia community. Anyone else out there reside in Newy?
Allow non-admins to create communities?
I noticed that this instance seems to have community creation locked to admin users, though nothing in the rules / sidebar mentions this.
Would you be open to allowing users to create their own communities here in the future? Perhaps once there are some more active users to avoid diluting the communities we already have?
I'm very new to the fediverse and lemmy, so please let me know if this isn't something that would be feasible for this instance.
