    A Planet Full of Cats

    Hidden object games used to be pretty low on the list of games I thought I'd like but I find this game (and the previous Devcat games) to be really enjoyable. The artwork, animations, story and extra hidden puzzles make for a well rounded game that is more than I ever expected from this genre.

    The devs also donate a portion of sales to animal charity so I'm happy to support them.

    Crazy amount of work from a bunch of different projects glued together to get real performance out of it!

    So much will have to come down to comedy acting talent. Imagine what the original would have been like without John Candy or Rick Moranis.

    I setup a family PC that is used for media/gaming with Pop!+Cosmic+Wayland and it's been quite good. Way less headaches than Gnome used to have.

    Ah I see now. Yeah in the last pages of the book he says 'maybe he'll go home, but not today I have work to do!' But they did discuss it after the Eridians discover Sol returning to normal.

    I enjoyed the original game quite a bit. It can be a bit grindy at times but you never feel as stressed about time passing (like in Stardew Valley) since the day cycles repeat and anything you miss will be there again next week.

    Looking forward to the all the toys in the new game!

    I was a little disappointed that it smoothly draws one line at a time instead of in bursts as each packet was processed in the dial-up days.

    Yeah I'm a little concerned that over-dependence on something like this might have some dire effects for the bees still being good pollinators. Still, if it's used in the right way like an additive to the attractants already being applied on crop blossoms it could be helpful in getting the colonies the nutrients they need to fully self-sustain.

    This bee supplement could be pretty huge if there's no adverse affects. I'm still really curious what specific wildflowers offer the highest amount of missing sterols the bees need though.

    But now after several years they've returned to release more content for Opus Magnum. I think it is easily their most approachable game and so far I've been really enjoying the new content.
