So train lines instead of belts, and inserters directly linking assemblers to each other? Wow, that base must be huge.

I have done some basics with trains, and a bit with circuits, but multi resource trains always jammed up on me and became unbalanced so I’ve basically kept them to single item type each. Plus, playing on console without keyboard means naming things like stations is a slow pain in the ass.

The one that felt most impressive at the time was a successful Mun mission in Kerbal Space Program.

First time I beat subnautica was on permadeath mode, that took a damned long time.

Relatively new to the game, have launched two rockets. That seems… very tedious.

I’m guessing you rushed robots and then did it end game that way?

I was jazzed to not use lasers and only steam power on my second play through.

One thing that is often over looked is proper monitor height. You can’t have good posture if your monitor is too low.

Mount and Blade, both titles Kingdom Come Deliverance Elden Ring Ghost Recon Wildlands

I’ve got untold hours into Ghost Recon, but once they released the permadeath ghost mode, it’s the only way I play. I even made a youtube guide on how to speed run the first hour for various perks. Sure I could beat the game in normal mode, but it just seems too easy.

George Carlin said it best, yes a receding hairline is annoying, but no where near as bad as an advancing hairline.

Who would want to have to shave their forehead?

I’ve never played it on anything else so it’s hard to judge.

Only got it a month ago, and have only beaten the basic game once so far, though I’ve made what feel to me giant bases.

Haven’t noticed any slow down aside from when autosave is happening. Haven’t made the kind of monstrosities I’ve seen on youtube so I don’t know where the limits are.

As someone who has wanted to play it for ages I’m having a great time with it.

Reminds me of Kerbal Space Program on PS4, the controls are very complex for a controller, but they did a great job using multiple button shift functions to map a hell of a lot to the inputs available.

I did not know you could remap switch, may have to try that

I used to call it the Zelda machine, but now that factorio is on Switch, I guess that isnt quite true any more.

I go between PS4 and a switch pro control often, and it’s not that they all use the letters / symbols for different buttons, it’s that Xbox and Sony agree what button position is used for what as default, enter, back, etc.

Nintendo breaks that symmetry, and put the enter button on A, so when I go to watch a movie on playstation I’m constantly exiting the menu because that position is O, the back button for Playstation.

Just found out Factorio is out on console, so I’ll be addicted to that for the foreseeable future.

TIL that both Voyager craft are still operating, simply amazing.

I caught it very early, before the vaccine, and the only symptom I didn’t get was having such a hard time breathing as to require a hospital.

I sat alone, at home, in my lazy boy, and suffered. Like others have said, lots of fluid and lots of sleep were the only things that helped. I can’t think of another time in my life I slept that much.

Two of my brothers who had it both failed to recognize or acknowledge they had it, and both had bad falls, one breaking his arm, and the other requiring stitches in his scalp. Be very aware when walking around for signs of fatigue or light headedness.

The Souls series, subnautica, and Hitman all do this well. Minimal story, skippable cut scenes, and fantastic gameplay and environments.

In all of them you can dig deeper if you want, but it’s almost always optional.

There have been very few games where the story is what grabs me, I want fun and engaging gameplay and character development (stats, perks, weapons, etc).

The one exception is Mass Effect, but that game just has everything.

I love my job, I really do, but I wouldn’t do it as a hobby. I don’t think it’s so much advice about making your hobbies a career, as it is about finding work you enjoy.

Video games, skateboarding, riding a motorcycle, all things I love, but no way I’d try to make a living at any of them.

They are looking for a reaction, and if they get one from me, I give them a mental thumbs up.

If it’s just being a dick to be a dick, I ignore it and go on with my day.

What I absolutely never do is engage.
