BGG favors simple games I don't think that's fair either. If you look at the ratings, BGG seems to prefer games that score between 3.5-4 out of 5 on their complexity scale. If they prefer anything it is novelty. The oldest game

Skiing is a much more expensive activity in most of Britain, mainly since it requires taking a week off work, international flights and hotels to be able to participate. And to become good at skiing you'll have to do that once or twice

Rule 1 is wait until there are built wheels for that version of python for all the libraries that you need. In most cases that can take a month or two, depending on exactly what libraries you use and how obscure they are.

Are you using Microsoft's Python extension? That seems to be the main one that breaks for people, including me. Also Microsoft's remote and container development tools only work on the official VS Code.
