Quoting: Salvatos

Quoting: DuncLimiting the number of quarantines and travel bans seems a little unrealistic, although the opposite is obviously the case for treatments and vaccinations. Maybe they could be unlimited, but with a stat for citizen dissatisfaction or economic damage that forces you to limit the length of confinement, or something.

There could also be a rate of compliance, and it would decrease over time.

Hmmm, yeah, and the rate of decrease could depend on what supports you gave to the public.

So does it have stuff related to testing? Really, the most successful responses have involved testing the shit out of everyone, following up the contacts of positive tests, and quaranting all your positives. That has allowed some countries, notably South Korea, to keep the virus down without too much widespread lockdown.

You could have a special high-difficulty mode where your country's health system does stupid stuff like make people pay to get tested and treated.

Hm. I'll be interested to see what someone says after playing this.

This discussion reminds me of a very old "Dilbert" bit. At a meeting, some guy says, "Let's give the customers what they want!"
Dilbert says, "What they want is better products for free."
"Oh. Then let's just give them what we have and call it a 'strategy'".

So is the objective to become worth enough, or enough of an irritant, that the said tech giants buy you out for enough to retire comfortably?

Wishlisted. I'll probably buy it soon, it's pretty cheap.

Overall, people seem to be experiencing a huge range of workability, from totally awesome to totally sucks and everything in between. I'm getting the feeling that whether it works great or sucks depends partly on internet speeds, but also to a big extent on luck of the draw in terms of how far your server is from you.

You'll look like a giraffe, huh? So only we at GoL will know you really look like a penguin.

Quoting: Guest-- ha, nevermind, just opened up. And....wow, such input lag! The "framerate" was fine, but there's simply no possible way to play any game with that kind of input lag.

Civilization? (not that they have it)

This is one of those things where I think it's interesting that someone is doing it but at the same time I have no feeling that it would be fun to play.

This seems like a cool thing. Kudos to GNOME!
Their desktop environment doesn't mesh with my personal tastes, but that doesn't mean I have to be against them; one of the nice things about open source is good people can pursue different approaches and you can get different good results.
