That massive spike of 50c/kWh at the left looks tiny compared to today even though that’s already insanely expensive

      I get the joke, but in contrast to heating, you can easily just… not run demanding games while the electricity is insanely expensive for a day.

        It would literally not matter since it all ends up as heat in the end which is what you’re looking for anyway

              Man, I need to return to that game.

              But it’s so stressful. Like the main scenario I tried to save everybody, then the game throws 43 children my way… I have to admit, took three minutes to decide what to do.

              It’s very pretty, and the loop is great, I love management games, but this one just hits differently.

                I got it through a giveaway and when I was going to start playing, my cat died and it was just too heavy for me at that frame of mind.

                It’s been a couple of years now, though. I should give it another go.

                That’s the beauty: you have to make the tough choices for the greater good and future of the town. I’ve been playing a dozen hours a week for a few months and finally have somewhat of a feel for how to start building the town at the beginning so it doesn’t screw me over later.

                I initially didn’t like it when I got it for free on Epic, now it’s one of my favorite games.

                  I bought it, because I saw some recommendations. I even played some on my Steam Deck.

                  But the PC experience is the best, though I moved to OpenTTD after the first scenario.

      I kept the main room of my condo warm for a winter by having two rigs running 24/7 while I didn’t have a baseboard because I was doing renovations!
