Okay what the hell did I just read?

From my very very rough and cursory glance though: wouldn’t this also likely be infringed by games such as Genshin Impact for their Auto “fuse” (aka enhancement) selection mechanic or does this patent have some more nuanced/specific thing which everyone else did not implement to skirt around it?

It’s a wheel, it’s supposed to turn over and over and over ad infinitum!

/S (because it’s big sarcasm instead of small.)

So you are basically trying to humblebrag to everyone here that you already achieved a fucks-given-count of 0 for this app?

Impressive, if not a little underhanded. But still very impressive!

So is that the “Zange”? Because you need to go from the things you are holding (the information, in “German”) to the hinge (the literal English translation) and back down again (actual German translation) to understand (aka grasp it)‽

Uff this started out for me as being “easy! Minecraft, Factorio and a third one!”

And then quickly and only devolved into an abyss of deliberation…

• Do I take EU4+DLC+Anbennar because then I would finally have an excuse to actually learn and play this damn game? (Plus having base game and Anbennar basically doubles the replayability)
• Do I take VintageStory so I can finally learn to actually play it well and start creating meaningful mods for it?
• Should I take Noita or Caves of Qud? Should they be replacements for DF?
• Is either of Civ V or Civ VI replayable about for me for this much time?

And from there the more basic questions:

• Does any of the three games need to be entertaining enough to basically always run or could/should it suffice to simply rotate between them?
• How much time would I reasonably want to spend playing vs creating?
• Also am I allowed to spend some time basically daydreaming every day (aka the games are meant more to actually keep me sane rather than get people to recommend good games they have given thought and time to?) or should they/would I want them to keep me occupied basically 15/7?

So yeah, Minecraft probably still stands as there are way too many mods and building ideas for it to (probably?) become truly stale in a lifetime!

And Factorio because I still want to actually finish an AB run for once, or a SE run, or … You get the idea. Buut the third slot would likely be a make or break for this whole endeavor and now it’s back to square one again!

Without the creators having any way to patch in even harder endgame content because you got too close to finishing it too!

But stores this information as a metadata file, which gets invalidated when a new file is added/removed from the program muhahaha!

And then there are devs/games like Nolla/Noita which specifically included a nice little message for data miners which asked them to keep all the gained secrets a secret until a certain date with a reward for both them and the community if they did and who would have guessed: they did! And now they are immortalized inside the games credits!

Okay that’s the first argument I could almost accept except typing this response I remember kg which is already one example of a unit getting something semi-special in that it always has its prefix with it!

But other than that good argument there ^^

And I will continue to demand it should! But yeah, sadly it’s not…

Honestly that would only mean no more updates for the 2.0 version though, right?

Like you already had to buy a new license for 2.0 so it would be like Affinity+Canvas going “we are releasing 3.0 tomorrow, sadly it’s subscription only despite our pledges because blah blah blah…” except in your case it’s a name change to allow them to do it without breaking their pledge, no?

Except a kid like that automatically has a free pass for eternally being pissed about their father and their father before them not also having had that name so they could be "… the third’!

Not quite, for Java you still need the Factory part at the end!

Wait which part? (Also don’t get too explicit because NSFW and also that’ll kill the fun)

Cause I can’t currently imagine which part exactly you say is kinda like sand… (Granted in a bag)

I might need to ask my friend where best to find one then and try it :D

Except even the best specialty coffee I had (and trust me I had some good ones because a friend of mine went down that same rabbit hole you probably went down and wanted me to try) still had way too many acids in it which meant it tasted great until it again turned my entire mouth to ash and grey bitterness…

So in other words the “primary” taste/body of coffee can get really great, but it’s still not worth the bitterness after.
