Just existing as a first time parent. I have a huge amount of respect for anyone that has two or more children, because one is already stretching me to my limits. To get anything accomplished requires stealing time from something else. So over time, everything is in a state of being half-assed, overdue, or forgotten.

Could you elaborate on what issue you take with that headline? Genuinely confused here.

Thank you for building this! My partner is due in next two weeks, so this is perfect timing for us. I've been using the Android version and the interface feels very straightforward and easy to use. I've only run into two issues so far:

• There doesn't seem to be an option for updating a child's name
• Attempting to update the Family Name results in an endless loading spinner, with no changes being saved.

I remember this game too! The live action cut scenes were really creepy as a kid. I distinctly remember the hands trying to press through the painting and the ghost luring you deeper into the maze. My dad and I got stuck at the one Othello style puzzle with the amoebas. We went out and bought a guide to get past it, only to learn that the author of the guide couldn't solve it either.

I'll grant you the first point, the whole game is centered on space travel simulation, but it's also the only game I've seen that handles what you're describing. You definitely need to consider atmospheric density though. Managing your speed, angle of attack, and parachutes to avoid overheating is one of the major skills you learn while playing. Some are Earth like (Kerbin), other are thinner (Moho), and some are surrounded in an atmosphere so thick that it makes any return mission a huge achievement (Eve).

Kerbal Space Program?

To me, a pan for a lazy cook means easy to clean, and you don't need to worry about what you cook in it. I wouldn't care about what types of utensils you need, because a true lazy person would simply throw out all of ones you can't use.

With that in mind, I think an oven-safe ceramic nonstick pan is your best bet. The nonstick is great for both cooking and cleanup, and unlike a cast iron you don't need to worry about acidic foods or reseasoning. If all you own are silicone utensils, the only downside is that you can't crank the heat up too much. And even then, all that does shorten the lifespan of its nonstick properties, at which point you're no worse off than a steel pan.

I really loved the system used in Firewatch. It was similar to the Telltale system where you have a set of dialogue options, a limited time to respond, and silence is a valid option, but the game didn't "pause" to let you choose. You could continue walking around and explore your surroundings during these conversations, which is very nice in a game about walking around in the woods. It also took into account context from earlier conversations to make later ones feel more specific and personal.

The developers gave a great talk about the dialogue system in GDC17: https://youtu.be/wj-2vbiyHnI

I agree. Even when the megathread included a list of posts relevant to a topic, whatever nuance was there gets lost in the grand comment thread. We really need a tagging and filtering system so that users can opt out of topics.

That way, it's not incumbent on mods to make a Megathread, or make a judgement call on whether there are too many posts on any one topic.
