I’m 44 years old, and have been gaming practically since I was born. My parents played D&D, and video games with us kids.

Also a lot of those totals are artificially inflated because I can leave the game running to finish a long task, especially Factorio and DSP

Well they keep updating it, so it may not have been there, unless you made a chest sphere and didn’t label the chests.

Per my steam library:

Factorio: 3,375.4 hours

Dyson Sphere Program: 2,505.9 h

Stellaris: 2,236.6 h

Terraria 2,629.9h

Skyrim: 1,239.5 h

Dungeon Defenders only has 600 hours on Steam, but I’m well over 2000 hours between Steam and PS3/4

I’ve also got a few thousand hours in Just Cause 2&3, as well as several Gran Turismo games and Forza Motorsport games. Morrowind probably has 2-3000 hours, oh and I’m not allowed near Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri anymore.

Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger are probably up there as well since I’ll replay them every decade or so.

Second Life.

Then you zoom further out to find that the Blokkats have moved into the star system next door, and are eyeing Sol hungrily.

Each new planet is basically an overhaul mod. They did a great job incorporating the best parts of Space Exploration, Krastorio, Seablock, and a couple mods that either they made up entirely, or I didn’t know the names of.

Also the overhauls to the fluid handling and circuit networks make everything so much easier. I’m actually learning how to use circuits and trains, and I only have about 3000 hours of gameplay in vanilla.

My best advice is to rush bots, and leave even more space in-between your modular builds. Holy crap do I have some spaghetti because of squeezing things into my bus.

Factorio Space age is 4 expansions in one package. We definitely still buy proper expansions.

Ok, so a blue username normally means OP, a green one means mod. What the heck is a red username?

Is Google fighting itself? Seems like the Android dev team is almost literally indirectly addressing the issues that the Chromium and App Store dev teams just created.

Thanks!

I don’t know where the kids are posting videos these days, I’ll have to figure out somewhere other than Imgur eventually, but I don’t post a lot of videos either.

Oh look, a tech bro reinvented public transit.

A video of it in action would be nice

Dyson Sphere Project, even without the multiplayer mod you are “connected” to the rest of the player base with the Galaxy View.

Factorio, and Satisfactory scratch a similar itch, but on smaller scales. IIRC, both of those games have multiplayer built in.

I haven’t played in a few years, have they done any of that in EvE Online?

Ahh, I didn’t bother to check, I just know that I have MWO, STO, SWTOR, and could play EvE through steam. I figured blizzard would eventually jump on the bandwagon.

Stellaris for me, at least in those games it’s not instant death, lol.

I did however close the pop-up to go see what it was saying before agreeing to it.

Most MMOs have a steam launcher, they tend to work better than the native launcher from my experience with them

Looks like the phone app Whiteout Survival ripped these guys off. I’ll have to wishlist this one.

I wouldn’t call Roblox itself a gacha game. That category is the ones where you are trying to collect all the heroes in the game and level them up with rare loot. AFAIK they generally, if not always, involve loot crates that you have to purchase.

Roblox has its own problems. As spelled out by People Make Games in these two videos.

Roblox claims to teach kids how to make their own games. At this point from what I’ve heard, I would suggest Unity Engine before Roblox, and I wouldn’t recommend Unity after their pricing debacle.

Watch the videos, and have a serious discussion with his parents about it before you get him that game platform.

That’s The Black Library’s job
