Because programmers play too much Stardew Valley and the high pay removes the anxiety of starving to death when it doesn't rain because you can just spend your way out of problems.
Also have never probably experienced harvesting things in the heat. It fucking sucks.
- yimby2001 2y agoIf you’re not doing it for survival, you can just slack off you know
- tekla 2y agoSure, but now you're just larping because you can afford it.
- bigstrat2003 2y agoYeah, in that case you're just retired and homesteading is your hobby. Nothing wrong with having a hobby when you retire from your job, but in no way is it comparable to doing the thing as a job.
- alwa 2y agoI can think of worse hobbies… Doesn’t the Financial Times periodically run a column called “How to Spend It”? A hobby farm sounds like a lovely and wholesome alternative to some of the luxury pursuits they outline.
- snapcaster 2y agoYeah, but you can see why that's desirable right?
- tekla 2y agoNo, because Stardew Valley is not real life. I may have 5000 hours in Factorio, but I'm pretty sure I'm confident that I would not enjoy mining coal to feed the burners to smelt metal in real life.
- yimby2001 2y agoBut it would be pretty cool to have a coal mine on your property and you could go down and like dig up a piece for fun. Have you ever looked at a piece of coal under a microscope? they can look pretty cool!
- snapcaster 2y agoHaha, also have several thousand hours in factorio and you're right I don't hold this standard with all my games. That being said, if i was immune to pollution I would at least want to walk around my factories a bit
