    832 hours… What is this kindergarten?

    If you don’t have 5,000 hours in factorio, can you even call yourself an engineer?

      What if you’re an engineer who knows about Factorio and also knows a few things about your own psyche, and therefore have 0.0 hours played?

        This is why I warn my friends not to play factorio. I’m not strong enough to lead by example, but I can definitely live as a warning.

          I kind of want to try it. Especially once we get closer to winter. I could test my ability to still work on some planned indoor tech projects while Factorio is installed on my computer.

          I bet I’d pass that test.

          … unless preying on such hubris is how the factory gets you! Maybe the real test is knowing the only way to win is to not play at all!
