A strange little side quest
Didi Ice Cream has plenty of company in a long tradition of players chasing timing, patterns and better decisions.

A second detail makes the picture even better: M.U.L.E. arrived in 1983 with multiplayer competition built around gathering resources and keeping a colony alive, an early example of resource-driven strategy play. The details change, but the appeal of learning a system and trying again is remarkably persistent.
