Or to quote Terry Pratchett:
Give a man a fire and he’ll be warm for a day; set a man on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.

Yeah, it did suck. It is much much better now though. I genuinely enjoy it at the moment.
I know this is completely unrelated, but I think I’d actually find it impossible to get to 11:50 in the day with only 7 steps. That’s a one way trip to the toilet…
This is a great quote, I also like to say (especially in places like airports or government buildings):
It’s not a rat race, it’s a rat queue.
I’ve had this game since ea with 4 hours played time. I decided to give this update a go, and I’m so impressed. Performance is much better and I’m actually having tons of fun.
The missions to slowly grow the challenge and reward science work so well. I highly recommend giving it a go, if you already own it
I noticed how many of the verbs in English can mean different things depending on what word comes next, e.g.
English has so many words that mean the same thing, it’s amazing, astonishing, bewildering and flabbergasting, there was a thief, mugger, robber, bandit… Who stole, robbed, nicked, thieved from me… I don’t know how anyone ever learns all the English words for stuff, I honestly don’t know how I have.
It also made me reflect on how languages are just noises we’ve all agreed to make at each other. The rules try to match the language and fail, not the other way around.
Recently I was also thinking about how interesting it is that some words we use are SO OLD, and we just… use them like it’s no big deal, but if we we’re transported back thousands of years, people were still calling vanilla something very similar to vanilla and arteries something very similar to arteries, and that is super cool to me.
