    We've had knock-offs as long as we've had games. The good ones improve on the original in some meaningful way that people enjoy. The bad ones get relentlessly mocked and die off pretty quickly with bad reviews. Without the ability to create knock-offs I don't think gaming would continue to evolve as remarkably as it has!

    My favorite is Adams Crunchy. I find the No-Stir product to work great for sandwiches at the expense of a tiny bit of non-peanut oil. But finding No-Stir + Crunchy seems to be harder to get these...

    Yeah it was amazing what it could do on even a 200mhz Pentium. I'm a bit confused why they chose to go with Unity engine for the new release.

    I knew they were struggling but I didn't know it was already that bad!

    In 2003, the mighty Florida orange industry produced 242 million boxes of fruit, with 90 pounds of oranges per box, most of which went on to become orange juice. Now, not even 25 years later, the United States Department of Agriculture was forecasting a pitiful 12 million boxes of oranges, the least in more than 100 years, the worst year since last. A decline of more than 95 percent.

    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!
