    I have the most hours in Warframe, but Factorio is on a different level. If you’re anywhere on the spectrum, it is pure crack cocaine. The only reason I haven’t bought the DLC is because I know it’ll consume a month of my free time.

    By the way, Warframe 1999’s soundtrack fucking slaps.

        I skipped straight to fulgora first! Then vulcanus, then gleba. by far gleba was a rough factory style for me to adjust to… Then I tackled aquilo 😬 Good lord, this one is rough!

        Loving every minute, though. So satisfying to find better ways to build in the different environments!

      After playing with trains in factorio, then just staring at them go in pure ecstasy for 10s of minutes. I am now convinced I’m much further on the spectrum than I thought.

      Definitely mine too. It doesn’t even run faster than 1x… which is sucky slow but my own fault for having too many livestock animals to support my ~60 pawns… (peaceful gets very out of control if you let it) but now I have an outpost mod and as soon as all my kids are adults, most of them are gone.

      Give Songs of Syx a try. One guy, who developed the game in a shed in Poland so he could get away from his family. You can try the “demo” which is the full game just one version behind. Once he gets tired of developing it he said he’ll make it open source. Think dwarf fortress but you’re capable of having a population of thousands. Oh, and nevermind the race riots or cannibalism.

    I kind of miss when No Man’s Sky was an endless, empty expanse. That sense of loneliness and futility was an emotional experience that it doesn’t have now. It’s become a much better game, no doubt, but putting time and careful planning into that long crawl towards the galactic centre felt right.

      One day I’ll get around to playing Nomifactory CE. I’ve somehow played the base one twice over the past five years.

      I’ve been so alienated from friends playing the most popular game on the planet in multiplayer because I can’t play Vanilla for shit. Not since 1.2.5 probably.

      I’ll play no Minecraft for two years and then immediately nolife a modpack for two months.

      Good shit. The best value game I have ever bought, no question about it.

    There was a shitty f2p MMO called GunZ online once upon a time. It was so badly programmed that glitches literally became the primary gameplay loop.

    I loved it. For those few that could get into it, it was a unique heaven of fps and fighting game that filled a void an over caffeinated teen with nothing but hyper focus and time didn’t know they had.

    Also just ridiculously horny people.

    Quest 64 is my favorite “bad” game. It was a meme for like a week around here, I miss those days.

              All I remember from that was the insanely cool art/concept and memory leaks. Did they fix the memory leaks or do we all just have enough RAM for it to not matter?

                I never had the memory leak issue, but it can use a bit over 1 GB of RAM for me at peak, which nowadays isn’t that much.

      Hellgate London was such fun, unique hybrid twist on ARPG and looter shooter, I was sad when I heard it was shutdown.

      I woulda played it more if I had known it was about to be shutdown. There were some crash bugs and sudden difficulty spikes that made me quit, thinking Id come back to it later. That later never happened.

        Yeah it’s a shame the official multiplayer didn’t last long. There’s some fan projects with that but none of them scratched the same itch for me. There were a few patches for the game and they’re still available, but the difficulty spikes are still there, it gets grindy in the last couple sections of the game.

    I just spent 20 hours on the demo for the new game roadcraft. I’m just pushing dirt around in a tractor like I’m playing with Tonka trucks back when I was 5. I haven’t really done anything interesting, just leveled dirt. Anyway, ill probably put in another 6 hours today after work.
