I used to know one alleged reason why, but it's been too long since I worked retail to remember, thank god. Got curious, and looked this up: quote:It’s because DVD, Bluray, CD and video game sales are tracked by Luminate (formerly Nielsen SoundScan, Nielsen Music Products, and MRC Data), a company that compiles sales data on these items. They’re like Nielson TV ratings, except for music, movie and video game sales.

Eh plenty of games release on non-Tuesdays now, and not even just indie titles. Three big budget games just released last Friday.

I cannot wait to see what kind of batshit nonsense bugs show up. Even with the extra eyes and hands working on things now, there's just so many different complex systems that something will slip through, I just know it.

So, something I just never really interacted in this game significantly was prepared meals. How do I do prepared meals without risking running out of seeds? Is it mostly safe if I make prepared meals but I forbid the use of seeds?

Yeah, that's what I do. Drinks too. I also like bringing a healthy flock of birds on every embark since eggs are a low effort meal ingredient

I realise I could've donated at any point but I'm genuinely looking forward to finally handing over some money tomorrow. I'm really curious to see what the sales figures & review scores are going to be.

There's a sub-menu of the food stocks page where you can set what dwarves do and don't cook with. You can turn off seeds there and then it's completely safe. Don't actually 'f'orbid seeds because I believe in that case nobody will plant them either (unless that's what you want).

Ah darn, doesn't look like it will be a midnight release. I'm sorely tempted to take the day off tomorrow.

I mean, it really does sound like a regular steam review. So AI generated can pass for a normal grumbler on the internet just fine... Success?

Yeah I'm currently gobbling up entire caravans in exchange for 4-7 full barrels of strawberry llama fish roasts.
