Wow, absolutely gorgeous. According to my father and his cabal of genealogy enthusiasts, allegedly this place used to be a holding of some distant ancestors of mine. I always used to get a kick out of looking at the family tree, where one guy would have a title, something like "Lord of Warwick Castle" (I can't remember it exactly), then only to look a generation later and see a note by the next guy, saying "Re-Took Warwick Castle."

Damn, dude, those are considered rare? That's a hell of a bummer

Superb is right! Absolutely a delight, it's become something I keep returning to on a regular basis. Each time, just enough balance between "chilled out," familiarity, and freshness of relevant judgment/choice-making. Definitely helps that the UI is absolutely on point throughout and the music is a delight.

My main suggestion is to set your recipe limits - if you just keep making everything beyond reasonable levels, you run out of materials nonsensically, i.e. "No, I REALLY don't need 200 brick, thanks, I'd rather have some pottery, just a LITTLE BIT, PLEASE"

Yeah, I guess I'm gonna dogpile here a bit, but can confirm it's pretty solid on the deck. I thought I'd hate track-padding, but it's actually pretty pleasant. Just had to remap a couple things, like wood-cutting & a couple back paddle buttons and it plays surprisingly smoothly. I've played on both PC & deck and oddly I'm starting to get to like playing on the deck a little bit better actually.

Give it a try!

Define container; reasonably, a room could be defined as a container. A container of what? And furthermore, define empty! Knowing when something's "empty" has all kinds of applications. That and teleporting, even a few inches could be incredible, especially dependent on how often/quickly you could do it. 3 & 7, hands down

The wild part for me, though, is when I basically played the basic Greensleeves on the lute from memory in a livestream, then slipped into playing Francis Cutting's version (the best, IMO, the elegance of the compound meter is just badass) after the first playthrough, again by memory, I was copyright struck after the fact twice, with a strike for each, one after the other.

TBF the proper way of doing it would be to improv it into your own direction, which I did afterwards and didn't get struck for, but it's just crazy to me how much the recording industry tries to clamp down on anyone performing anything even vaguely sounding like a preexisting recording. I contested the strikes, largely standing on principle that I was doing the performing myself and that the music itself was ancient and they were dropped.

The number of times it's handed me a copyright strike for recording tunes that are >400 yrs old is simply tiring. Used to be infuriating, but now I'm just tired lol
