Factorio for me is too much like work, except I think it's a fine game, I just already often spend my day making systems to put things on queues and take them off queues, trying to keep the queues from getting full or empty...
- santoriv 8y agoExactly my experience. I feel like I'm doing DevOps automation when playing Factorio. Since I get paid hourly for my normal work .... I started wondering, "Wait, why am I not just working right now? Same thing except I get paid......" It should be called something like "Jenkins: The Game". I actually had a similar experience with Space Chem. It was fun until I realized I was playing "Procedural Spaghetti Code: The Game." I wish there was a "Functional Programming: The Game"
- egypturnash 8y agoIf you need a side project, prototyping "Functional Programming: The Game" sounds like a pretty good one.
