Well I've been on the planet for 40 years and it hasn't changed in that time as far as I remember.

It is unfortunately owned by Nestlé these days however it wasn't invented nor originally marketed by them. It was originally invented by an Australian as a way to improve the diets of kids during the great depression.
Like a lot of good iconic Australian brands they sadly sold out to American conglomerates over the years.
I've been posting a bunch and could help out if you need it.
Most games aren't competitive though or even require twitch reflexes.
Exactly.. 😟
This game (and the people behind it) are definitely deserving of the price if you have any love for this genre of games at all. I wish all games had this level of attention to detail and love poured into them over the years.
I too was a bit skeptical at first when I bought it on the Steam release but its been one of the best game purchases I've made in years easily. This is one of those games you'll come back to time and time again over the years.
I still don't know how a lot of the tools in DFHack aren't just baseline in the game at this point they are that good.
I remember seeing news articles about how people were allegedly getting "stressed out from lack of social contact" and I'm over here with my family enjoying being left the hell alone, able to relax for a change and not deal with other peoples expectations and boring ass social events that we're usually forced to go to. Being able to just play 100 days of video games and only work when I absolutely had to was great.
What it showed us was that all the bullshit about having to be "productive members of society" and the focus on productivity was exactly that. Western society could function just fine and be a lot happier if the 1% didn't get handed yet another ivory back scratcher.
I fully expect a lot of the younger generations to say "fuck it" and just live in poverty instead.
I'm already seeing this attitude in my adult son and his friends and it's getting increasing hard to motivate him when he sees no light at the end of the tunnel to work for.
It makes you wonder how much things have actually really changed under the surface when you realize that it's only their great grandkids that are still in charge of things today.
You and me both.
My mother is already kinda facing that and I feel like it's almost treason for politicians to keep extending the retirement age on all of us.
Taste and texture. I don't drink chocolate milk these days for the nutrition anyway.
They don't sell the new milo where I am and they better not or there would be riots.
