This is the one I use to prove my old nerd cred, lol

Factorio - its a logistics rts but the pollution mechanic is different. Instead of just gather resources to build things which build bigger things, you also make pollution as a side effect. This feeds the native monsters and also evolves them. Managing your pollution cloud is a strategy. That or build massive defensives for when they come to eat you.

Great soundtrack too

haha, yes, in some sense :D

Starship troopers. I say this not because the movie is bad (it’s not, I think it’s exactly what it meant to be and did it well), but that the movie and the book are thematically opposites. The book is very pro military authoritarian. The movie is a satire of that.

How’s Krastorio vs AngelBob? I keep trying AngelBob but it’s so tedious to make progress that I lose interest after a few hours.

It’s not poorly written. I understand it bc I feel this way, but I’ve come to a different conclusion.

I’m OK not knowing everything. I’m not ecstatic about it, but I’ve settled with the idea. Experts exist for a reason and I have to trust in that. I can’t research every issue to a college degree level. I gotta make dinner for the kids.

Let your friend have their vaccine research but just don’t bother talking about it to them. Accept the fact that you don’t need to understand every facet of reality to live thru it.

Not knot naught

Myst. I know, I know. One of the hallmarks of video games. I hated it. I like games that give you a path and let you figure it out. I’ve hundreds of hours into Factorio and it’s kin. Portal! A puzzle game, Portal gives you A and Z and lets you figure out how to get there. Myst doesn’t do ANYTHING. Nothing was obvious to me. I didn’t understand where the A to Z was. I couldn’t find A, Z, or any of the other steps. None of it clicked. Years ago, I watched some parts of walk throughs and I did not understand how I was supposed to know the things they were doing. None of it made any sense to me.

I’m waiting until it’s out of early access. I don’t have time these days to beta test games.

Whoa. That world design is very reminiscent of Secret of Mana, which I loooove.

Lol, no. Type the quote into YouTube. You won’t regret it.

even if you can describe things you see from another place, you could not reproduce a working version.

If you can’t functionally use any information from the other universe or vice versa, then what’s the difference between a real universe or a fake one.

YOU EUTHANIZED YOUR FAITHFUL COMPANION CUBE FASTER THAN ANY TEST SUBJECT ON RECORD. CONGRATULATIONS.

YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!

I’M ESCAPING TO THE ONE PLACE THAT HASN’T BEEN CORRUPTED BY CAPITALISM… SPACE!

Been playing Nintendo since I could remember. That’s like everyone else’s story.

However, I took a break. 1st kid was born and I wanted to focus on them. 5 years, no gaming… But Factorio… You see, that’s where the trouble began to grow. That factory. That damned factory.

edit: fellow engineers, check the FFF blog, they’ve released news of the expansion!

!3dprinting@lemmy.world would like these!

The core of my hobbies is learning how something is made or done. I learned to bake bread and sourdough by making tons of loaves. I learned to make my own beer. 3d printing is my peek into manufacturing industrially even though its a mere taste. I do meal prep to understand packaging and distribution.

I wouldn’t say it’s fun, most of the time, but it is incredibly satisfying and fulfilling.

How? Why? What? Never stop asking.

Yep. I get distracted with my phone. I doodle on my notes. I enjoy writing in cursive, it’s so loopy! I like pens, they’re neat!

I also do bullet journaling, but not very strict to the original style. I just draw my own little boxes.
