    What if you’re an engineer who knows about Factorio and also knows a few things about your own psyche, and therefore have 0.0 hours played?

      This is why I warn my friends not to play factorio. I’m not strong enough to lead by example, but I can definitely live as a warning.

        I kind of want to try it. Especially once we get closer to winter. I could test my ability to still work on some planned indoor tech projects while Factorio is installed on my computer.

        I bet I’d pass that test.

        … unless preying on such hubris is how the factory gets you! Maybe the real test is knowing the only way to win is to not play at all!
