“I’m not excited for Factorio, but I’m excited for spending a hundred hours bickering with newbie. You know how it is.”

It’s time for the most anticipated game release of the year: Factorio: Space Age! HGR initially thought the game was launching on October 23. Then he found out it was October 21. He was not happy. “It’s like if you were a cancer patient and you had six months to live, and then you found out you had five months and 28 days.”

I was definitely excited for a hundred hours of HGR bickering with newbie. Hitting those like and subscribe buttons, etc. Working from home this morning (trying to finish up the [client] project), but I turned on the stream for background audio. Typing out boilerplate paragraphs about the corporate [redacted] while hearing “Honest to god, I’m handcrafting two locomotives. How does this even work?” and “OH GOD THE MALL IS DYING”

Truly the industrial revolution of 2024 is glorious.

“What are you doing?” “um… … …admiring our base?”

Ten minutes later:

“Have you moved in the past ten minutes???” “um… I’m examining the SPACE MAP, bro”

Ten minutes after that, HGR announced he had “shifted to more of a hanging-out role.” Yeah, we noticed.

Through newbie’s tireless efforts, they reached space by midnight, which is when I went to bed. By “they reached space” I mean they had a little space platform that was being wrecked up by asteroids. Hang in there! We’re shipping you more rocks asap!
