    I tend to use less powerful bows or weaker pals to weaken, call back your pal when most work has been done and use better balls for stronger pals.

    Looks good.

    I really like OpenSuse, but the setup and configuration wasn't easy or straightforward. Manjaro had a superior way to setup partition for example. If they make this process smooth, it would really help folk experience a great OS that just works and is up to date.

    There is a PR open to decrease the aggressiveness of the fire burn. I will forward this to the dev who is working on this so they can take these points into consideration.

    Thanks for raising the issue.

    But then they couldn't trick consumers into voting for them. There isn't enough rich people to win so they have to trick people into thinking they are working in their interests.

    I'll be honest, and sorry in advance, but it'll help you more. Your cynicism is probably the thing getting in the way. I understand it's rough and not fun, but you've got to avoid it grinding you down.

    You need to give yourself reasons to stand out. Making a half baked unfinished engine that no one uses isn't as impresive as improving an existing one that people use. Greenfield projects are rare and you probably not going to get that as a first role. So you need to prove to employers you can take legacy code, learn it, understand it, improve it and get it live. Demonstrating you have the capability to do that on a FOSS project demonstrates you may be able to do that on an in-house engine. You also learn from the code others write. Why did they do it this way? Is it better? What are the pros and cons? Degrees differentiate, yes, but a green person out of uni vs someone who has proven they can do a similar job, you have an advantage. Plus, 5 PRS is probably easier than a new engine. Making one from scratch cannot hurt, but it doesn't prove everything they need to know. Businesses hire because they have a problem and need someone competent to solve that problem. Tick those boxes and remove the risk and you have reasonable chances.

    If you only demonstrate you're not comfortable going out of your comfort zone and getting your hands dirty, you are not helping yourself.

    So give them reasons to hire you, give yourself a chance, and keep applying. Give yourself a 2% chance, apply to 50 jobs, give yourself a 10% chance, apply for 10, but always go over the odds.

    Remember, industry is rough right now. A lot of experienced proven folk got let go in last year. Might need to improve your odds and bide your time.

    Stress can be for a few days or weeks or months. Burnout is a months and years thing. It's the result of chronic stress. You can just get a mental block and cannot even touch or look at something. It may make you unable to do the work you once did. The mind can shut down for self preservation. Even after years of recovery you may not be the same person.

    Because MineClone2 is a dreadful name, and unfortunately, when ever anyone tries to differ anything slightly, a head can be taken clean off. The project doesn't want to be a full clone, but heavily inspired by, but with it's own direction. It needed to go.

    Business discover consumers have limited disposable income and sometimes markets grow to saturation. Businesses failing to understand that different market strategies can be applied to the different stages of growth.

    You'd think these industry leaders would understand about business...

    Seems it's been overtaken by grifters promising the world and investors being absolute naive mugs.

    A great game, and a massive patch list. Could be good fun for a returning player, or new players. For those that haven't tried this game, it's very addictive and very fun. I've got 150+ hours on it, and I'm not done yet. Good fun as multiplayer too!

    RimWorld
    www.gog.com

    The game probably needs no introduction, but hey, a story generator sim colony type game. Bizarre and lots of fun. Whether it's getting attacked by pirates, or angry rats, fighting infections or drug addictions to save your colonists. I feel a little part of me dies every time I lose a colonist. Intense. I'm 83 hours in, and barely getting started. It's wonderful. Have you played RimWorld? How long for? Any interesting stories? (the steam reviews are a gold mine for this)

    Project Hospital
    store.steampowered.com

    I absolutely love this game, and the music always makes me smile. The main tune is one of the best game songs I know :). To oversimplify, it's Theme Hospital for adults. Complex, serious, and some times stressful when you have a collapsed patient. I end up favouriting my collapsed patients as I really need to know they get better and make it out ok. I have 70+ hours play time from this. Really well made game. Needs more love. Have you played it? What did you think?

    Palworld (as a survival game...)
    store.steampowered.com

    Obviously it's a very hyped up game, and I was apprehensive posting this as they have sufficient marketing behind them already. It's meme'd as "Pokemon with Guns", but at its core is a very heavy survival play style. Have you tried it? How many hours in are you? If you have, what do you think? How does it stack up against other survival games for you? My view is in the comments... Edit: First 2 votes are downvotes and into minus immediately? I get you may not like the hype. Say it, but this is to also stimulate debate and build this community. We're off the lemm.ee first page and any downvote is just going to contribute to keeping this community buried when it needs a little oxygen. Do we really want another dead small community? It's also an opportunity to bring folk into survival games...

    I mean, we've all seen some hype around recently about games in the genre, and I wanted to share this because it's awesome. Been playing it recently, and it definitely scratches that Pokemon itch, while being unique in its own right. Made with a lot of love, and also on Godot. What's not to like?! Have you played it?

    Community stuff

    I have created the community and advertised it in new communities. It would be good to get a logo for the sub if anyone has one. Maybe an axe or a campfire or something. If you have a link to a survival game sub, we can add that in to the community description to make it easier for survival fans to find the communities they care about. Hopefully this will start as a campfire community so we can get together, discuss and build a great corner here in Lemmy. Feel free to kick off discussion, talk about a specific game, what you're playing now, or even ask questions about a specific game, and hopefully folks here may know the answers.

    Survival games... What features do you love and hate about them?

    What features in survival games do you really love, and which do you really hate? Is there a meta you really get annoyed by that every game seems to copy? What is something unique or cool in a game that really added something great? I'll start. For me, the most annoying thing is the grindyness at times. First it's mine 2, then 10, then 30, then 50. It seems the only way survival games can make things harder at times is to increase resource cost.
