Yeah it looked promising. Also a shame I never got to try it properly because it didn’t work for me from the start. Home timeline never loaded and errored out and I never got any kind of support response so gave up on it. Oh well.

(Also, hi Harry in the wilds of Lemmy. 👋😂)

A full night’s sleep every night does sound good. I wonder what that’s like.

It’s at that point I’d start looking for a new job.

A solid foundation to build on I’d say. Needs better optimisation as my GPU runs hotter than I’d expect. As far as I can tell there are still a lot of quality-of-life things missing that were in the first game via mods. I’ve only played it for a couple of hours though so far though.

Early game I’m getting 50-60 FPS @ 1440p on a 3070 and i7-12700K. Haven’t got to a high population point yet but I expect a drop as my city gets bigger.

Overall the playability is good so far. A few stutters here and there, and also some texture flickering. Not as bad as I was expecting from all the noise surrounding the game at the moment.

Ive met some great people on mstdn.games. It’s a gaming focused Mastodon instance.

Broken ice cream machines are a regular thing here in the UK.

We stream white noise through Spotify because it means it’ll be there on any device that’s Spotify works on. Phones, tablets, smart speakers, TVs, whatever.

My wife and I play white noise to my son via Spotify to help him sleep.

I never see the point in preloading as it’ll just have a huge patch to install on release anyway.

It’s the same rhetoric that the UK government are using to get a backdoor on messaging apps with E2EE.

UK as well.

It’s been 5 months since the announcement already?! 💀

I had my invite and signed up. Deleted my account there two days later. It’s awful over there.

The average person doesn’t understand what that means, let alone actually do it.

Call me crazy, but Voluntary Resignation doesn’t sound very “voluntary” if it’s forced.

Yes that’s what I was suggesting.

iMessage isn’t a big loss in the UK. FaceTime would be.

WhatsApp pulling out of the UK would have the biggest impact. Almost everyone uses it here.
