The circuit building simulator 'SHENZHEN I/O' gets 'overwhelmingly positive' reviews from Steam users

Quoting: GuestWell as far as I’m concerned, I know more "overwhelmingly positive" games that I find terrible than ones that I like.
In genres you like?
I'd be curious to hear some some examples...
It might be my memory, but I don't remember having been disappointed by such a well rated game.

Yet another compl... place for improvement: I got here by mail, but my notification is still active.

Quoting: liamdaweYou can adjust that on this page, it's probably left over from your original subscription.
Ah, understood. Let's see how it works out in future.
(There's an off-by-one error somewhere, btw. I get 58 pages(wow!) of subscriptions, but page 58 is empty.)

Quoting: liamdaweThat's exactly how it should be, are you not seeing any notifications?
I do.(*) But I'm also getting mails and didn't expect those.

(*) I should have described what I'm expecting and what I'm getting, as in any good report.

How do I actually disable e-mail notifications (in favor of website local ones)?

These are my current settings:
[X] Turn on notification area for: Comments:
[X] Auto subscribe when replying
[X] Auto subscribe when creating an article?
[ ] Get email replies when subscribed?

I expected the "auto subscribe" options to generate notifications to be done in one way or the other, and the email option turned off to disable these notifications being sent as mail.

I appreciate site local notifications. Got lots of e-mails by your website lately. :)

Which reminds me of something off topic: I tried to change away from KMail, but the feature I don't want to do without is having filters apply automatically or on key press, on per filter choice. It's very useful - show me the mail all in one place, inbox, but put it where it belongs on key press - but seems to be rather unusual?

Quoting: subMy Notebook gets *very* hot (running on the intel IGP),
that's not the case on Windows 10 (same machine).
Do you experience something similar?
The graphics don't look very demanding...
I did not yet try Shenzen, but I had that with "J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars". That's not demanding either - it just ran at several thausand(!) FPS...

Quoting: EhvisUnfortunately, I'm still haven't finished any of them. TIS-100 will probably be the first one. I only need one puzzle from the main section and it is typical of the difference between programming and these puzzles. It requires you to write a data sort algorithm for number sequences. I could write that in real assembly code in 10 minutes. So far I've tried for at least two hours and failed to solve the problem. I will figure it out! I refuse to look up the solution! Do I really need more brain torture from zack? Hmmmmm. Maybe. :D
I think that was the puzzle I failed to solve. Still didn't look it up, still want to do it. One day...!

Quoting: km3kI did! (I was a tester for the Linux version too. :D ) If the structure was more like HRM, it might be easier to do a tutorial.
How I both hated and loved the prime check optimization...! X)

Quoting: km3kI haven't played Infinifactory, but with TIS-100, I think it would be very difficult to make a good tutorial.
Did you play Human Ressource Machine? (You should! :) )
It does a better job in slowly introducing what you need.
