What do they serve? Global warmed veggies with nuclear meat roast?

It's a game where most continents have been destroyed, and all human beings, so you're just on this small island inhabited by mysteriously intelligent animals of all kinds, various robots, a few types of plant. And you're running a diner.

Water, a song, and gentle admiration? It's what mine all order, anyways. It's a two-star establishment- the sun and yours truly. They're all repeat customers.

I should get another family photo of the lot...

The plants do not order food, the plants become food

So do the robots eat, or are the robots food? Either way it raises additional questions.

I have been very surprised by the difficulty of the game and by how it is scaled, starting very easy and rapidly becoming quite complex. Each time your diner levels up a new feature appears, and it gives you more to manage. You have to deal with different customer expectations according to the time of day and season, trending foods and even reacting to ingredient shortages or customers starting arguments with each other.

Here, this should answer some raised questions.

I find it hilarious that the worst review for Dog Airport Game is from a person that received the game for free for the express purpose of writing the review.
I was about to complain about the game, until I saw the feature to pet the dogs.  Then I got it.

Is turning the customers starting arguments into ingredients an option?

EDIT: I think I'd rather run the Last Bar in the Universe, offering alcohol and gambling.

I'll admit, I completely thought that was just talking about the douglas adams book with a remarkably similar name. If there's not some kind of shoutout in the game thing, I'll be disappointed...

My friend has not seized for three months and as such can drive herself home from work now- this means I get four/five hours back a week. Hooray for continuing health!

Had pizza for birthday dinner, was good.

Haven't had olives on a pizza in a long time. Or pepperoni for that matter, my parents just keep getting plain cheese.

Cheese pizza is like eating a roll of bread and calling it a sandwich.
