I thought this game was well known but I haven't seen almost any mentions of it recently. It's very weird for a FOSS enthusiast not to advertise one of the best open-source games of all time so here I am trying to make it spoken about again.
Disclaimer: this game may be addictive for some individuals. Player discretion is advised. If you notice any symptoms of addiction while and/or after playing the game, stop playing immediately and consult with your doctor. Untreated gaming addiction may result in severe consequences such as digestive disorders, social behavioral disorders, loss of job, and depression.
It's great and all (it really is), but the target audience was just presented factorio 2.0 (and space age), so we're busy for a few months.
Sorry didn't know that. I'm not interested in Factorio because imo it looks terrible.
EDIT: I'm gonna open an issue so Lemmy lets OPs edit and delete comments on their posts. The amount of argument on here is too bad for a standard centralized moderation model.
The person you're replying to was just making a comment that alludes to the fact that people who like this genre get addicted to other games. It was a light-hearted comment and you're the one who got negative first. People asked you to elaborate on your negativity and you got defensive. Now you're doubling down on that defensiveness. I get it. I've been there. But come on, man. I think everyone's got the same interests in mind here.
Hmm I'm not sure if my comment was that negative and objectively triggering. I still remain with the position that being triggered is solely a problem of the one who gets triggered. Though now I think including the part about graphics may not have been necessary.
I don't think I saw such requests and if I did, I rejected the request because of the "Do not feed the troll" rule. I don't think I need to explain anything to rude, triggered or other rather questionable individuals. I've been in many situations when doing so resulted in very bad things.
Also some may consider me a troll. I get it because I do exhibit troll behavior sometimes. But just let a broken soul be defensive and rejective already.
The majority of the people weren't trolling in my eyes. They were upset because you said a game looked terrible without elaborating. You could have just kept that to yourself and said "not my cup of tea" but you ellicited a reaction, seemingly on purpose. And now you're acting like the victim in the situation and doubling down. That, in my mind, is the definition of troll behavior. Which at least you admit I guess.
Troll or not, I can see this discussion is going nowhere. So I'm just gonna mute this and move on.
Factorio is amazing.
Not only do you insult a game that many people have a huge amount of love for, for the weakest reason possible - then you get all salty because people disagree with you.
And THEN, you complain to the developers that you should be able to delete other people's content that you disagree with?
Seriously, get some perspective and stop being a douche. Please.
This kind of accusation is just an attempt to discredit me. I already said many times that I'm fine with disagreements but I'm not fine with toxicity and fight creation. Lemmy admins are fine with it though so I request such a feature. This is selfish but any attempt to prove, promote or empower your own opinion is selfish in general.
I know people are going to continue misinterpreting (even intentionally) my words. I went through it a lot. Hopefully this is not something that can break me now. I just chose to laugh at such attempts and imagine hurting people who do so. After all I have to defend myself from this evil world somehow.
And very few people are going to agree with such philosophy. I understand it. It's a natural disadvantage of not complying with preset community rules.
Why would I care enough to try and discredit you on any grounds than you've written here? I don't know you, I don't care about you other than what I've read in this thread where you come across as arrogant and the aggressor. Not quite the innocent party you're trying to project.
Don't worry about replying, I'm going to use Lemmy's block user system. Not used it before, but I think it's the best way to deal with someone I have a disagreement with and don't want to talk with any further, rather than wasting others time with vexatious development requests.
I totally missed that this was a thing. Saw this and then bought the DLC yesterday at 7pm, figuring I'd get a couple of hours in before going to bed. (I get up early)
Yeah, rigt. 4am this morning and I was still playing. .
