Factorio never ever goes on sale, out of principle. The devs have stated on multiple occasions. They know what their game is worth and they're upfront about asking every player to pay the same price for it.
If you're interested in Factorio at full price, no harm in buying now. If you will never buy it at full price, you will never buy it.
I also don't think it comes pre-installed anymore, you have to get it through Microsoft's meme store that no one uses.
"Just be yourself" always feels like non-advice when it appears as an answer to a question like, "What should I do?" That's because it's secretly negative advice. As in, it doesn't tell you what you should do, it only tells you what you shouldn't do. It's code for, "Don't pretend to be something you aren't". Don't pretend, don't lie, don't put on a facade you can't keep up.
Technically good advice, yes. But it's the equivalent of being behind the controls of a plane you don't know how to fly and the pilot is incapacitated, and your question of "How the hell do I fly this thing?" being met with, "Well, for starters, don't jerk the stick and flip the plane over." Wowee gee, thanks for the tip.
I remember grinding my way through Pokemon Conquest, having a decent time but also kinda wanting it to reach its conclusion. I get to the end of the main campaign, scroll the credits, and then it tells me on next boot that there's now some more content to play.
"Oh cool, a postgame," I thought.
No. There was not a postgame. There were something like eighteen new campaigns to play.
To a certain kind of person this must've felt like Christmas morning. I put the game in a drawer and didn't turn it on again out of sheer intimidation.
I really question how much overlap there is in the Venn diagram of "people who pay for television", "people who hate Fox News", and "users of Lemmy". I can't imagine it is very big.
Every dedicated "ask questions" community I've ever participated in has had a nonzero amount of users who seem to only show up to bitch and moan that, shock! people are asking questions. I don't get it either.
A bill has passed both the US House of Representatives AND the US Senate to end the clock-changing, with overwhelming bipartisan support (I don't believe either one of them even held a vote) and zero pork or poison pills...
...but the two of them passed different bills that directly contradict one another. One formally ends DST and the other permanently adopts DST as the new standard time. Fucking incredible.
I'm very much of the "IDGAF please just pick one and we will all cope" persuasion. So I'm unbothered which one passes. But it's comical how, for once in a goddamn generation, we have something completely uncomplicated by party line politics, only to have it completely bungle up in congressional body power struggle politics instead.
We just can't have shit, can we?
It hardly changes things, but I feel like Mario & Luigi: Dream Team deserves to be on that list, too. The concept and execution of Dreamy Luigi was awesome.
I thought the glyph for "heated seat" in cars depicted a raised fist with the pinkie finger extended rather than a chair with heat waves eminating from it.
The Tea at the Treedome episode of SpongeBob SquarePants further convinced me I was seeing it correctly, and I since knew it as "the fancy button". In some regard, I wasn't entirely wrong.
"When in doubt, pinkie out!"
Sure, sure. Just don't want you to wait forever for a bus that won't come. :)
