“Echoes of the Plum Grove”. Sounds like they asked ChatGPT and went with the first suggestion.

Biggest one is Last Night on Earth 10 Year Anniversary Edition, and smallest is One Deck Dungeon.

Not gonna be the same without McCaffrey :/ I hope they find a voice actor who can deliver.

I don’t know, but this feels like a step back. I haven’t downloaded/played a demo since, like, 2005. There’s usually a gameplay video or review on YouTube that suffices before I purchase something. Ymmv :/

I used wefwef / Voyager in the beginning, but I found that it crashed/reset too often for my liking. I’m now using Mlem which I’m pretty satisfied with.

Look at Blender and MediaWiki (the software running Wikipedia). They’re both FOSS and are developed and maintained by volunteers, backed by the end users. They’ve become such a big part of people’s lives, both professionally and privately, that they’ve become the mainstream choice.

Have it calculate the amount of full rotations and round it down to the nearest whole number. Worst case scenario, your cup is static for 5–10 seconds before the microwave stops.

Sadly, no. It seems like SoB has become their money maker. LNoE isn’t going anywhere, though, and I’m kinda happy with where it is. That being said, a new IP would’ve been nice.

I don't know about a lot of designers, but Jason C. Hill, I guess. Last Night on Earth is my favourite board game series, so I'll try whatever he puts out there.

Wow, that makes so much sense! I hated that I could never predict the dialogue outcome in that game. Maybe it's time for a revisit?

I played Azul. I've owned it for a few years, but never felt like trying it out. It was great fun, both with 3 players and 2 players! I'm not usually into euro- or abstract games, but Azul is easy enough that it's basically like scrabble. You rarely see a new mechanic that's both this simple and well executed; I can see this becoming a staple in my collection. I guess that's why it's top ranked.

Oh, I’m not saying there aren’t innate risks. You’re bringing up great points, and I agree we mustn’t throw caution to the wind. This is slightly besides the point of my initial comment, though, where I was merely stating my belief that the “hack” described in the OP might be a non issue in a couple of years. But you are right. Again, I’m sorry about my ignorance. I didn’t mean to start an argument. It’s great hearing other points of view, though.
