"We'll just terraform Mars," they insist, unable to terraform Earth, a planet that is already perfect except it's like 2° too warm.

As someone who was really into it for a while, got out of it, and has since tried going back, only to be overwhelmed by the changes and systems on offer: it's fun, but a massive time and brain investment. 😅

✅ because I think it can be just as informative to potential players of a game to learn what doesn't necessarily work in it as it can be to learn what does. Just because it's not my cup of tea doesn't mean it won't be yours, and negative reviews can help communicate that.

That's...holy crap that's one hell of a read. I'll have to come back to it when I'm in a better headspace, but just a skim showed Gita as a big voice involved, and like, I followed them when I first started on Bsky and then unfollowed because they frequently seemed overly vicious and vindictive. :/

I don't follow them or any of their writers on here afaik, so the only thing I heard through the grapevine was that one of them just wrote an op-ed for the NYT, and I was like, "Really? *That* NYT? You really want to be writing for *them*?" :/

"Oh, but you have to beat a game to be able to review it!"
I'm sorry, but no. Just no. When I know something's not for me after a couple hours, why would I subject myself to many more hours of drudgery just so some randos online have one less excuse to nitpick my writing?

Yesss, I just reviewed this one and loved it! I agree, the clear water looks phenomenal, especially in contrast to when it's all murky and polluted.
