> I'm jealous you found such a great friend to play the game with. ;-) I found the game interesting but without social interaction it wasn't able to keep me engaged... So I uninstalled it after a day or so.
I'm in a university, surrounded by people who do this sort of thing for fun, and no one I know will play the game. We've come to jokingly call it "work-simulator" and most people I've talked to who should enjoy this game just see "oh no it's work".
- StavrosK 10y agoMy reaction was pretty much the same. Not really "oh no, it's work", but "if I'm going to code, I want to code something other people (and I) can use. For example, a friend and I had a few spare hours, so we made this: https://www.timetaco.com/ https://www.timetaco.com/ That sort of thing seems like a better use of my time than playing a game. Then again, there are times when I just want to play a game, and I don't want to code, so I don't begrudge anyone how they choose to spend their time.
- animal531 10y agoFor both of you I recommend Factorio. It's more game-like and you don't realise as easily that you're (essentially) programming, since it feels like you're just building conveyor belts to move materials around.
- Too 10y agoIf it looks like work maybe you can play it in the office without being caught :)
