Sounds like fun!

Dropbox also has LAN sync if you're all on the same "team" account. Works wonders between local computers.

I love seeing targeted solutions like the one posted by OP, but I can't shake the feeling that the application of distribution game files is only the surface of it's applicability.

There's a certain irony that the primary feature separating smart phone cameras and traditional cameras is the ability to purposefully make "blurry photographs".

What are your thoughts on Dungeon World (PbtA)? For rules-lite, classic D&D-themes, and easy for newbies, I've found it to be a good choice for my group.

Coming from a long background in D&D 3.5/5e/etc TTRPGs, Dungeon World and thus the PbtA systems feel like a breath of fresh air! Especially for a rules-lite, narrative-first game.

However, I will admit... The actual Dungeon World book is pretty bad. Great rules, great player sheets / printables, rather poor book as TTRPG books go.

If you haven't read Ender's Game, I highly recommend it based on this topic.

I think the tricky part is - if it's an unsolved problem, how does the game know when a task is complete? Feedback loops are a core element of game design, and part of the reason tedious tasks can be satisfying, but unless it's directly manual labor, I'm unsure how to create a proper feedback loop

It's an interesting dark pattern...

I understand when products are compared directly: Uber vs. Lyft, Uber Eats vs. Grubhub, etc. Often consumers are looking at the exact same product and purely deciding based on price. I can see what a company would add that dark pattern to squeeze every dollar they can get.

AirBnb, Turo? I don't get it, are folks comparing the purchases directly to "other" products?

True! Great point that there are very, very many other ways that they are "compensated" besides direct $$$ donations. Thank you for noting that.

I'm sitting here on a 2015 Macbook Pro and the site barely runs :P

Do you have a better site or resource you now go to for queries like can opener opinions?

Yes, Reddit isn't perfect, but I've been hard pressed to find better options.

Shoutout to Satisfactory. I've seen many players that resonate with Dyson Sphere Program also enjoy Satisfactory. Not quite as in-depth as Factorio, but an amazingly, amazingly well designed game in both over experience and gameplay.

Bummer.

I used to be a huge advocate for 1Password.

Purchased a single license for $60 back in the day. Backed up my vault to Dropbox.

For a few years, it was the best app I've ever bought.

Now with the upgrade to monthly subscription, my Windows machine is stuck on a crappy legacy version of the app. I get that every company and their mother wants that $A$$ money, but I truly miss the simplicity.

I'm not sure on the exist economics, but much of the "cost" of a return ends up being passed to the seller, so it's much easier for Amazon to green light returns much more loosely.

On average, I imagine it's low. However, anecdotally the gamers I know who are buying $1000+ cards, generally do so every 2 years with the intent to flip them and buy the newest hottest card.

In a similar train of thought - there might be better data on this question if one was to look at the photography equipment market. Or other used consumer markets with high re-sale value.
