Nematodes, 100%. Went from clapping flies around me every 2 minutes to nothing, absolute godsend.

Order them online for around 20 dollars, follow the instructions and mix it in when you water them next. They eat the fly eggs or something, whatever it is it works within a couple of days and lasts a long time. I do this whenever the flies start coming back, maybe every month or two, and after a round of repotting because of the new soil.

I also cover the tops of pots with tape facing down which helps restrict access to the soil and some of the flies will stick to it, but I will try the sand layer instead of that now based on the suggestion above.

I hope this helps, I tried a lot of things before I found this and feel your pain!

Thanks for this! I haven’t played it since it came out. I’ll look forward to having a go.

I agree, it didn’t do itself any favours, you have to dig very deep but it could have been good. I think we were among many disappointed Star Trek kids!

Totally get it, and I wish I was more like that! I am definitely a list person so without ticking something off I can never tie off those mental loose ends.

Thanks, yeah I’m never doing one that long again haha! Just kept finding more interesting stuff about it, there’s even more on the TresCom site, very passionate fans.

Thanks so much! VR mod with elastic arms would be hilarious.

Thank you, much appreciated!

Thank you, bookmarked in case I do go back to it! I loved the Witness, Myst vibes. I love that abandoned world feeling like not even abandoned location, but abandoned world. I believe I did use the odd hint for that game too but most of it was just really satisfying to figure out.

I enjoyed what I could manage of Obra Dinn, I really wanted to love it but I think it just got too hard for me, did you make it to the end? My memory is terrible which doesn’t help. It does look fantastic though.

For sure that is another killer, halfway through but completely forgot what was going on in the game. Give up or start again?

Yeah the cost of living crisis has really helped the backlog not increase!

Lucky for me most of my list is old games, but still feels so good to finally tick off a game after so many years.

When I was a kid I drew an A3-sized map of Jurassic Park on the SNES, still couldn’t complete the game until I was an adult!

Sure go for it, I’ve subscribed, looks great.

I had trouble with the skeleton even after looking at pictures of the solution! I save my sanity and spare time by very happily using walkthroughs when I’m playing old games, I used to think it was cheating but I’m over it now.

Has anyone played both the original and remastered? I wonder how they compare, I think I may try the remastered version next time around, it had a big impact on me in my youth.
