Personally, I hate the gun models in first person shooter games. I want to see the full background view of the landscape with just a cross-hair for aiming, and no gun model obscuring up to 25% of the screen.

(I wish the games had the option to turn OFF the gun models in their settings.)

I've got over 4000 hours in the game, and I preferred the earlier Alphas, before they messed up the water system. In Alpha 20 and earlier, I could set the game to extreme difficulty levels and still not have too hard a time finding enough water to survive.

This is the way I prefer to play:
- 60% wasteland, 20% desert, 20% snow biome.
- No traders, which make surviving much harder.
- Survivalist zombie toughness (or higher).
- Sprinting zombies, 24 hours/day (or higher).

Without traders in the game, you're able to concentrate fully on survival. I have started using a Water Mod where any water jars you drink, you get back an empty jar (that you can refill). This makes up for the fact that there are no traders in the world to buy water filters from. If you convert the water jar to glue or food recipe, you lose the jar and I don't have jar crafting enabled, so I'm keeping it as close as I can to the new format (You're forced to find water by scavenging).

Most people play on extremely easy settings, and a lot of Youtubers tweak their experience gain so that they are rapidly out of primitive play and into over-powered end-game.

Check out this guy's play (on truly hard Alpha 20 settings):

And like a claw machine in an amusement arcade, ultimately quite a frustrating experience. Not so keen here, after trying it.

Yes, it is pretty serious to consider that the whole software landscape is in danger of threats like this. I imagine this attack vector is partly a result of Linux's growing desktop market share, where there are more inexperienced users nowadays, who are easier to trick with malware exploits.

Into the future running an active firewall application (such as Safing Portmaster) might be an essential protective measure.

Yeah, I enjoyed the demo of this, a few months back.

A bit disappointed that this isn't an ultra-cheap Raspberry Pi clone handheld that'd be ideal for emulation.

With any luck, a bunch of indie studios will pop up releasing games built with passion and good game mechanics.

Uh, and I just bought Arboria elsewhere.

This game had a 8 hour try-it-out demo, and I had been wanting to try it. Then the demo got pulled in less than a week. Gutted.

Think I'll just drop this here, heh:
