This is a great article! It's really interesting.

I have two comments to make, and I hope nobody thinks this is me trying to disagree with the article or something, I don't want it to come across as defensive. In explaining some of the challenges medieval cities go through and saying Banished is a pretty accurate game, I think this might just be a genre issue. I consider Banished a colony management game, not a city builder, and indeed, in colony management games your people's health and safety are usually a much larger concern than in a city builder.

The second comment is that the writer suggests a game with flood mechanics and arable farm land. I don't remember if it was out in March of 2020, but Timberland is out now. It's a beaver based colony management game that includes a lot of fluid dynamics. It has flood mechanics like described. It's unrealistic, of course, because they're beavers. But also because flooding isn't the end of the world if it gets into your buildings, I think it's more of an inconvenience. Regardless, I think it's a cool game to check out.

I switched about a year ago. It's going great. The only problem with my computer was because my RAM broke, but that would've still happened on Windows.

You marked your account as a bot but you look like a human user. Some users filter out bots so you may want to change it.

Oh yeah, I remember hearing about this. Even apart from instances some community names by default aren't federated. It's a really weird stance.

As long as you can reply to replies of people who blocked you, I think it's fine. Reddit's approach is absolutely insane.

The only problem I've had so far on Linux was due to my RAM breaking. Same shit could've happened on Windows. As much as everyone talks about needing "manual intervention" in Arch, I had to do the same shit on Windows after a bad update pushed unsigned USB drivers (which I was unaware of, I only saw the blue screen) then once I did a system restore it just failed after wiping my hard drive despite only using tools from Windows itself. I ended up having to get a third party tool to fix it all, because the vhdx files Windows made assumed my computer was UEFI despite only supporting BIOS. It was a mess.

The moral of the story is: Windows still has these problems, people are just more used to solving them so it doesn't feel like they're solving a problem.

They've both said it's better to be alone than with a terrible person and that they don't have a choice to be with anyone, so I don't think they're really thinking this stuff through.
