Is that all? Just the price of doing business for them :/

I played the helicopter one as a flash web game when I was back in school some 20-25 years ago! Was one of the earliest simple time waster games (in a good sense) that I can remember being really addictive, the whole class would end up playing it in computer lessons until it got banned.

I think I saw a documentary about a similar incident recently… it had two sports drink salesman in a minotaur truck badly parked getting towed & they drove it away while still attached & crashed. Long story short they had to do community service looking after kids to be role models & hilarity ensued…

Candyman, a mates older brother showed it to us when I was around 10ish, don’t think I was ever the same again.

Also caught a bit of Toxic Avenger on late evening tv around the same age, when I should have been asleep but sneaked on the tv. Boy did I regret that.

This sounds amazing, I’ve been playing for a couple of months & really enjoying it. Having never played RuneScape or anything like it, it’s been quite a learning curve, but it’s all very chill so you don’t feel bad if it takes a while to spot a certain feature or remember where a certain screen was in the sprawling menu system (which is fairly easy to use once you get used to it).

In the first few days/week I found I needed to interact while on walks to make the most of the short step requirements for early activities, but that soon levelled out, & the walk buffer with 2x multiplier is a really nice touch. Every few days/week I try to leave it on idle to build back the buffer, then everything feels relatively quick to progress for the next few days.

Really awesome work & look forward to the upcoming updates whenever they arrive. Big thanks to you & the team!

Good effort! Ditto for me these days. Back when I was young & foolish that might have only lasted me a few months tops. It was actually shortly around that time I finally stopped for a couple of years & now just occasionally enjoy. Much healthier life balance. ;)

I really like my Casio CT-S1. It’s not weighted, but still has a nice feel to it. It’s more a keyboard that has midi support vs a dedicated midi focused one, but because of that it’s quite minimal & slimline. Probably around your price range when it’s on sale I would guess. Although I think 61 keys is the smallest, so maybe too wide for your needs.

The app is rubbish & always has been so no real loss. But this, disabling a core hardware feature!? Dick move Anova, dick move…

Sodastream is from Israel, so that’s a big no from me. Only learned that recently when I was considering if I should buy one.

Not heard of Drinkmate before. Thanks for reigniting my hopes of home made carbonated water!
