I couldn't understand why someone would want to reimplement Pizza Tycoon, until I realized I played it's sequel as a child, which is much maligned compared to the original.
I tried the sequels and they never clicked for me either. Probably also due to the missing nostalgia factor :)
As to why I did this; when I had some time between university and starting a job many years ago I was looking for a hobby coding project and was inspired by TTDPatch and OpenTTD so I figured I'd do the same but for Pizza Tycoon. No specific reason other than that I played the game a lot as a teenager and there were some small things that I found annoying, so I saw some room for quality of life improvements. Fully aware that not many people care about this game (also didn't really expect to really get very far tbh), but still I had (and have) a lot of fun and learned a lot in the process of writing a modern engine for this.
Pizza Tycoon, while not the most famous game, is still very well regarded! I've only played Pizza Tycoon/Connection 2, and so I don't think nostalgia is why I didn't love it. That said, something about it stuck with me over all these years (I ended up purchasing it again as an adult on GOG, long having lost the disk).
Good luck! It's not always about the destination :P
Yah, this is what I do, however I think this is what GP is talking about when they say savvy (or maybe I'm flattering myself). Plenty of folks with their full details on their profile.
Overwhelmingly, no. You may have mistaken this for a lab's reading group, but most people here just skim the README, maybe read the abstract or figures. Expecting them to do more is uh... a bit strange?
But also you can forgive people for equating loss with performance, which are admittedly different but related ideas.
I encourage anybody to go look at the magnitude of the largest housing bubbles in the past few decades. Canada's ranks near or at the top in any comparison from any source.
I agree that the social media explanation is weak, but the things dragging Canada down are the same amongst most of the western world in my opinion, is all.
