I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing weekend. I finished Borderlands 3, and i have to say that I found it mostly tolerable, which is a massive step up from BL2 (which i hated). I have also been playing minecraft for the first time since before COVID

Played Frostpunk 2 this weekend. Not as good as Frostpunk 1, and uninstalled it after finishing my first playthrough.

I've been playing the first one and is it stressful. I just can't get used to the fact that people have to go out there in -60 weather. I'm assuming it gets colder, still, right, and that we never go back to nice easy safe -20? I wasn't prepared for -60, and I don't have enough steel to build more Steam Hubs in every workplace, so I kinda quit for the time being before the frostbite killed everyone, lol.

Yeah, things get worse until the end of the game, and then you beat the game so it's over.

It took me a few runs before I understood the mechanics well enough to make sure how to keep people warm enough. Figuring out the right balance of resources is critical, as is making sure you keep up with research.

yeah totally, knowing it won't warm up again helps - you really need that steam level research then, it's pretty cool, i just get some weirdness around the numbers like "-60? I'd be dead, it doesn't matter what I'm wearing..."
