I don't have strong feelings on building on the roof, aside from it probably locking me out of several farms because I don't have the time to dig out or spawn proof areas of the nether.
Rails and travel within the actual nether is the way to go, keep just farms on the top.
November feels like a good time to me, but my gaming moods are volatile enough I might be stuck in a different game at the time. I'll happily join (being pinged again for the launch would be amazing, pls&ty) when it happens.

Comment on Funcom, the Oslo-based studio behind the recently released Dune: Awakening, has announced it will be laying off staff in ~games

So my guess is that devs just don't apply to such jobs anymore, if they have a choice.
But then you end up with stuff like this, which also isn't good, so I dunno. There definitely needs to be a better system for jobs like this, where you need temp workers that are also highly skilled and thus want a return on their education investment and stability

Maybe not the exact number of leaves, but my first time growing them on my balcony, a granny-aged neighbour was like "yo, you gotta destroy those plants if you want actual tomatoes"

Minithra Link ParentI try to buy organic when I can afford it, often when it's on some sale and I just freeze the stuff I don't use right away, I'd jump on lab grown if it was at similar or lower price points.I try to buy organic when I can afford it, often when it's on some sale and I just freeze the stuff I don't use right away, I'd jump on lab grown if it was at similar or lower price points.

Also had a chance to try the async trade, went and bought something... Then I looked at what other items that person had for sale, hehe. I really like it! I'm probably going to only really engage with it in endgame, since you need to be in the hideout to set the shop tabs up and I'm focusing on the story
I also skipped 0.2 entirely after playing 300 hours straight after launch, needed a few months of break. I do intend to engage with the endgame, I really like the concept of clearing areas on the Atlas and removing corruption. We'll see how the new elements feel and play as I go along

I don't even want to think about presentations.
Hopefully your students will learn the lesson and do better!

Edit: random number of 70€ per night, 3% of that is 2.1€, x 35million, add take into account that something like two thirds of those stays will be more than 1 night, and you're over 100million € per year, which can go to making the tourist infrastructure betterer
