Factorio Thread -

[Thiletonomics]

I think it was mentioned upthread that the review bombing triggered Steam's anti-review bombing measures.

Does that said anti-review bombing measure also work on games that get review raised, i.e. the suspicious amounts of 10/10 reviews for Balan Wonderworld on Metacritic?

Can't speak about Hungary but Poland's "fascist" gov grifts a ton of money from EU and uses it for, among others, funding their TV anti-opposition propaganda, election campaigns and voter gibs. Also launders that money through various charities/fundations which are OFC staffed with their buddies/family members. EU can't really punish them for bullying the globohomos, but they can take away the money. Poland may bark a lot but will not leave the EU as long as the money flows.

It's kinda funny because EU is financially supporting their future political enemies this way.

Rather it is using western european money to cheaply buy their allegiance to EU. They pose no serious threat and when time comes they can always coup them like US did Ukraine leading to Russian taking sevastopol with the "vote" and "revolt".

But this is far enough from Russia that they can't retaliate.

basically all EU countries east of germany/austria/italy are just in it for the money, they all get fucktons of cash from various EU development programmes. their ruling class has become so accustomed and dependent on this money that they will never even consider a real brexit tier break with brussels

Poland borders the Kaliningrad Oblast, a fairly large Russian semi-exclave, and Belarus.

Is drama still going on anywhere or is it basically over?

At least until the Holocaust DLC or something.

Discussion was banned on discord and reddit. Resetera locked the thread for "review", and twitter has no attention span so they've moved on as well.

So yeah it's dead for now.

So there we go. Just tell them to fuck off and they go find something else to chimp out about.

We are all autists here (except those who just visited for the drama).

They're the most autistic of us all.

Negrates tracking was more or less halted around the 21st because of "off-topic activity," otherwise you'd likely see at least one or two trickle in.
Percentage of recent ratings that were negative is around 3.3%, which is amusingly close to Gallup's classic estimate of the percent of gays, lesbians, and trannies in the US populace, at 3.5%. This is obviously a coincidence, but I can't help but marvel at the idea that were it not for the negative review halt, the negative ratings would have probably reached and stopped at that percentage.

Here is Uncle Bob's article.

https://archive.md/eZgm8

Melissa writes like a total dumbass and I thank God her idiotic article is mercifully short.

So the gist of it is that Uncle Bob supports cops & is therefore racist and got annoyed when people said the word "craftsman" wasn't inclusive. So Uncle Bob is a bigot because he uses a word with the three letters that spell "man" in it.

This is so fucking stupid.

So uncle Bob didn't quote crime statistics or try to explain why there aren't many black programmers? Not even a passing mention of the Bell Curve and IQ? What a lazy racist. I want my money back.

Also Melissa sounds like a lobotomy patient (more commonly known as a journalist).

They've started with gygax jr and TSR for having the audacity to support his now dead father with their new relaunch, even though he has stated the views are a product of his time and merely state that gaming tables are not a place for politics, just fun. This isn't good enough apparently.

 

[moocow]

I wonder why the game journos didn't pounce on this with their usual smear jobs. It's fine to celebrate that the trannies got btfo'd, but this probably would've gone the opposite way if Kotaku and Polygon had written a few articles about Kovarex' Nawzeeeism.

They know better. For one thing the target isn't American and they know much of the international gaming community (actual gamers, that is, not "journalists") hates this woke shit and isn't afraid to tell them to, well, shove it up their asses. They also can't really bring any significant pressure to bear on the devs either. So sure, they could probably whip up some frothy idiots to make some noise, but even the dimmest journoscum can understand it won't do any good and will just make them look even worse than they already do.

What is with furfags lately and the color magenta? They're starting to make me hate that color.

It's from all that pony garbage from a few years ago, isn't it?

why do these people always say shit like "By the elder Gods!" "Gods Have mercy!"

Because they're atheist edgelords and have to signal it every chance they get. They want to evoke the typical "oh my god!" expression but don't want to acknowledge Christianity's god (because that's the "trendy" religion to attack in modern atheism), so they vaguely reference the collective gods of some unspecified pantheon to try to sound "enlightened" (and avoid pissing off adherents any other religion).

I've probably put more thought into it than they do, though. It's just edgelord shit.

 

[Info Player Start]

I still haven't play this, because it's never ever gone on sale and I'm a cheep ass gamer. Looks fun though.

 

[BucolicVisage]

Got this when I saw the thread initially and have sunk an embarrassing amount of time in... Sort of engineered myself into a dead end, my factory is a total fucking mess and all the belts are clogged or empty 24/7 because I completely disregarded supply ratios. This game is fucking great though, 10/10 for pure engineering problem solving autism. I’ll post some pics of my spaghetti mess later and maybe you all can help me out with how to salvage it.

 

[Dogechu_Prime]

Now gonna put money down for Factorio after SSeth went ahead and convinced me, but now this got me mega convinced.

Thank you Based Devs.

 

[Ragnarlodbrok]

There are member states and member states. Poland and Hungary are member states, too. You think Viktor Orban gives a shit about globohomo? If the EU tries to throw its weight around at least some of these will leave. Or just tell them "you and what army?"

Just like the americans are gonna overthrow their jewsish masters? The money and the opportunities they get from the eu is more important to the eastern european ruling class then some lofty notion of freedom.

Obnoxious online Atheists are just following their own religion with great zeal. Hell, they evangelize more than any Christians I've met.

Edited to add that both parties are 90 percent retarded.

Germany also has to bribe southern Europe to maintain it's influence as well.

 

[Polyboros2]

This game has been on my radar for years, I actually played Satisfactory first just due to friend pool. Finally bit the full price bullet over this shit storm.

10/10, worst decision in my life, please send help I'm not eating.
