    Everything except the losing interest part is what people love about factory games. So while they have your interest, realize that you are absolutely playing them “correctly”. But if you don’t like iterating your designs (not everyone does, and that’s OK), then these are probably not the right genre for you.




  • By the same arc do you mean a character overcoming an emotionally difficult moment in their life? While that’s true, it’s also true for hundreds of other stories.

    Of course it uses the same premise, that’s the point of this story being told as an “inside out” film.

    I feel that it should be judged on how well it can help the audience emphasize with the characters (not the emotion characters, but the human girl) and the trials that they are going through while also being entertaining, educational, or thought-provoking. In this regard I think it did a pretty good job of showing how tough puberty can be. As a parent of a kid about to hit puberty, I think it did an excellent job of discussing these issues.



  • You say that likes it’s a bad thing, but you’re describing a “fan”, someone who likes a thing and wants to spend their disposable time, energy, and money on that.

    I don’t say this to specifically defend Disney, but rather to push back on the hyperbolic language. As an example by absurdity: you could say that the RIAA pushes band, string, choir, etc classes in grade school onto kids to get them hooked on music so that more kids will be hooked on music as adults.



  • Yeah, good idea. This game take up a lot of time because it is amazing and there’s soooo much to do.

    If you like the dopamine hit from making something better, or fixing problems with a system, then you’ll love this game.

    I think there may also be a demo, but I don’t know if that works on the steam deck. That’s totally worth checking out, but set aside 4-8 hours for the first time you play it and I recommend setting an alarm to remind yourself to eat.





  • There are a few games that you might miss out on with this method. Some devs (it’s not many) list their games at what they think is a fair forever price and will not ever offer the game at a reduced price. Again, this isn’t a lot of devs, but one notable one is Wube, makers of Factorio.

    I generally agree with your method, mostly because I have a large enough backlog to be able to wait for sales, but it is also worth doing research on some devs to see if a sale will ever happen.
