Not a clone, but imo still very worth mentioning: Mindustry is an automation game with a heavy focus on factory building and a sort of tower defense aspect. The community is very active and there seems to be a lot of variety on multiplayer as well.

I'd add not using Amazon Prime, Amazon Web Services and other Amazon services. Not using X, being critical of SpaceX. Also, stop advertising these things, stop telling your friends about them, maybe even stop talking about them altogether. I think for some strange reason sometimes bad press is better than no press.

Does it make sense to blur names when they're still relatively easy to decipher, when the project can be found on github and the top committer links to their Twitter account? 🤔

Why don’t they order more if it goes out this fast?

Maybe they don't order more 'cause there's not enough storage space or the contract runs for a very long time. Keep in mind that drink producers probably want guarantees as far as their sales are concerned, so they want contracts that run for a long time. It wouldn't make sense for manufacturers to invest into an expensive machine when they can't be sure to sell all of their products for many years.

So now this shop you go to might want to get the cheapest contract they can get to maximize profits and those are usually the longest running contracts. If during this long time sales for this drink ever drop then they would end up with a lot of drinks that they can't sell, which requires even more storage space or selling the products cheaper or worse yet disposal. That risk could be a reason they don't want to order more.

Reminds me of a funny performance about the topic by a commedian named ISMO. He does a lot of things with the English language.

Reminds me of Magic Maze, a boardgame in which players play a Barbarian, a Dwarf, an Elf and a Magician who lost all of their gear in battle and now resort to robbing a shopping mall so they can go on their next adventure.

In my experience the most popular and fun "party games" are boardgames such as Top Ten, Time's Up, Hot & Cold or Codenames (more or less in that order). They work best for 6 to 10 players. Though I don't think they shine in a highly competitive tournament setting.

Randomness exists in all of these games but I consider it very balanced/smoothed out so it shouldn't really affect the outcome. Not all of the games I mentioned have permanent teams, but that can easily be changed with house rules.

Oh no ouch. A little bit depressing. Hope it gets better soon!

I think the perspective is confusing. Can't really tell if the character is standing or lying, but I assume the latter.
