  • Save WHAT? The gas station takes their bit so I can get to work. The grocery store takes their bit so I can eat to have energy to work, and so I can feed my child. The phone company takes their bit so my boss can keep in touch with me when they want to. The insurance companies take their bits so I can say that I’m insured and have the right to drive, and to put myself deeper in medical debt if anything goes wrong. The landlord takes his bit so I can have a roof over my head. Disney takes their bit so my kid can have her favorite movies and shows on demand because that’s one thing I can give her. And now my coin purse is empty until my employer gives me my bit again. Where do the savings come from, oh wise one?




  • I just started playing for the first time after being gifted a Steam Deck this Christmas. My brothers have been telling me about this game for years and I’ve always been intrigued. I even played a VERY basic spin on the concept on my phone called Builderment and spend probably 10 hours playing around with that over a few months.

    Since Christmas I’ve spend 55 hours playing vanilla Factorio. The first hour was playing through a few tutorials. The rest has all been on one playthrough. After I researched Robotics two days ago and unlocked the additional logistics chests last night, I’ve gotten my first four nuclear reactors online and begin completely transforming my base from the ground up and expanding outward.

    I haven’t been using any guides or wiki articles but I did look up the concept of the main bus around hour 30 when my spaghetti base was becoming unmanageable. This game is so freaking amazing.
