There was talk about Google changing this, but I'm not sure if that was something that would only affect Pixel phones or all of Android as an ecosystem. Well, to be specific, the change is to not let people run unsigned APKs at all and devs can only get them signed by giving their identification to Google.
This is why "side load" is annoying to me. It's installing. It is not special or different. They aren't "blocking side loading" they're "restricting what you can install."
I've solved this before and wondered why it was so easy, the "trick" here is that you have to end with 50, so that's not the right path. The instructions say to use 1 - 50.
I'm not saying they're realistic, just that it has some of the flood/farming mechanics the blog author wanted to see in a game.
This is a great article! It's really interesting.
I have two comments to make, and I hope nobody thinks this is me trying to disagree with the article or something, I don't want it to come across as defensive. In explaining some of the challenges medieval cities go through and saying Banished is a pretty accurate game, I think this might just be a genre issue. I consider Banished a colony management game, not a city builder, and indeed, in colony management games your people's health and safety are usually a much larger concern than in a city builder.
The second comment is that the writer suggests a game with flood mechanics and arable farm land. I don't remember if it was out in March of 2020, but Timberland is out now. It's a beaver based colony management game that includes a lot of fluid dynamics. It has flood mechanics like described. It's unrealistic, of course, because they're beavers. But also because flooding isn't the end of the world if it gets into your buildings, I think it's more of an inconvenience. Regardless, I think it's a cool game to check out.
Yeah, a lot of upholding the letter of the law instead of the spirit of the law as well as following rules without really critically evaluating why they're rules in the first place. (Example: Answering an old thread should be fine, but folks just view it as bad and lock them.)
I switched about a year ago. It's going great. The only problem with my computer was because my RAM broke, but that would've still happened on Windows.
What I hate is when I find a solution for some old post but it's locked because "you should just make a new question" well FUCK YOU BECAUSE SEARCH ENGINES GO THERE AND I HAVE THE ANSWER AND I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE! BUT FUCK ME I GUESS ๐ญ
The one time I used that official forum I did my due diligence and laid out what I ended up doing to solve my problem as well as responding to the other person with a similar one. I am not DenverCoder9.

You marked your account as a bot but you look like a human user. Some users filter out bots so you may want to change it.
Flying Squid was memorable but has been gone for a while. My understanding was they moved to a different country and haven't posted since.
