I bring dire warnings about a game called Factorio

it's not like Vampire Survivors in that I'm actually enjoying it and having thoughts occasionally but yeah this is the sorta game that makes you wonder if you can set parental controls on yourself
my left hand hurts, WASD is a fucking cursed way to control a game
for 8-way digital movement nobody's ever come up with anything better than a Suzo Universal and that is WILD because it's been what nearly four decades
I've just controlled a little dude through the WASD keys and I'm like, mate you LIVE like this?
see this is why I just stopped playing games on PC for like 20 years, the controls fucking suck
Joystick face man ranting about joysticks needs to be a separate thread from joystick face man plays factorio
If my opinions on mouse/keyboard controls offend you then don't worry, I've installed factorio so you're unlikely to ever hear from me again, I was up until 3am last night and I'm already jonesing for my next fix
Not many games come with the additional challenge of, how will I set up a scaffold around this, how will I ensure that I maintain the discipline required to enjoy this game without it riding me like a parasite, what mental health self-talk techniques are gonna be useful for Dealing With This New Thing In My Life
And y'know what, none of that shit is in the tutorial
It's not like you can go on like a Factorio forum and ask hey, what's a healthy way to enjoy this game
I'm not kidding, this ain't your grandpappy's weed
OK yeah this game needs to be put in a cage
