  • Factorio was in early access for 8 years. What’s your point? Indy games take a while to develop because they gain haters and naysayers, like you, logarithmically compared to the funding that they get.

    So far, Dyson Sphere Program has been in early access for 4 years, and they have one hell of a game.

    I technically own Project Zomboid, I just don’t really have any particular projects to complete in that platform, so I’m not exactly what you would call a fan of the game. I can see potential for an absolutely immersive RPG that could compete with Fallout 1 and 2 once the developers have time and funding to complete what they want to do.




  • After 200 hours I have a “factory” on Vulcanus, Fulgora, and Gleba. I need to redesign all four factories, including Nauvis, at this point to use Foundries, and Electromagnetic Plants at scale, oh and Biological Science Labs. I have finally started learning circuit networks and train scheduling.

    I had over 3000 hours in the game previously, got all the achievements that didn’t require a time limit, and had beaten Pyanodon, SeaBlock, Bob’s and Angel’s overhaul, and several other overhaul mods that I don’t remember, but I never managed to fully finish Space Exploration because of randomly generated items, and a complete inability to comprehend how the old circuit network worked.

    Space Age is absolutely the best of all the overhaul mods combined into one single expansion pack. I cannot wait to get to the Shattered Planet and find out what no one has shown yet. I’ll be weeks behind them when I get there, I’m sure


  • Yeah, I understood that he was pretty scummy, even for a self professed “pirate,” it was the faschist accusation I wanted clarity on. I didn’t get any indication that the guy was interested in assisting any corporations, nor was he trying to help authoritarian ideologues.

    I may have totally missed the fascist part since I was far more interested in the pirate part. I personally don’t consider KdC to be an actual digital pirate, since he didn’t seem to give one single shit about the free flow of information.

    I also don’t consider him a nautical pirate since he seemed to be making far more booty than a ship’s charter would have allowed, and especially since he wasn’t sharing the booty with anyone at all, as far as I can tell. Pirates were some of the original “communist entrepreneurs,” AKA the original democratic co-op.

    It wasn’t pretty, but if someone like KdC became a pirate captain, his reign would be ended by his own crew. Probably spearheaded by the ship’s boatswain (accountant, pronounced like bōsn or bōsün), quartermaster, (the guy with the swords and guns in the armory, also the guy who makes the shift schedule with the boatswain’s recommendations), or the ship’s doctor who regularly knew how much food or medical supplies were left, and could easily recruit the ship’s cook into the “mutiny,” or change of command.

    KdC should have lost everyone that represented those keys to power within months of him setting up his scheme.



  • I was a Navy Nuclear Power Program Electronics Technician Instructor. All the documents that I had access to were well known in the civilian zeitgeist before I was born.

    Snowden may have done something illegal, though my interpretation of both the UCMJ and Federal Whistleblower laws, as well as my recollection of what he released, says that you are a corporatist that is just salty that your favorite MIC corporation got outed for breaking federal laws.

    Manning didn’t break the law and still served an illegal sentence, so I will give Snowden and Asange the benefit of the doubt.

    I’m sick and tired of US propaganda, much less the international versions.

    Trump stole far more classified documents and that is just fine according to the law
