Factorio Thread

Why even say that much? Why just not leave it at “the code is good, that’s all that matters to me (and my team, if they’re comfortable with him speaking for them), if it matters to you on any level deeper than that, that’s on you”?

Engaging with These People to any degree more than is necessary is inevitably a poor choice. It gives them more words to twist and crow about.

Also, biweekly reminder if you are a creator of any kind on the internet to publish your work under anonymity wherever possible for reasons identical to this and many other cases.

Kovarex will become the Chick Filet of gaming. People whinge, but still buy the game.

I thought that was the FNAF guy because he's religious.

The FNAF guy broke under the pressure and retired. Death threats targeting his children was the big one for him if I remember right.

I know this is off topic, but even Chick-fil-a is becoming poz'd and they succumbed to the mob on donating to anti lgbtq organizations.

 

[Str8Bustah]

yes exactly

it's a game for men who love programming/engineering type problem solving so much that even after spending all day at their programming or engineering job they're still not satisfied, so when they get home from work they boot up factorio and do some more problem solving until they fall asleep

so what you're saying is that it's a game for germans.

 

[DumbDude42]

yeah pretty much
some say czechs are basically slavic speaking germans too so it all seems to make sense

 

[Autopsy]

I haven't seen anyone say this quite so plainly, but Factorio was virally marketed on imageboards and spread via word of mouth from sweaty nerds. I mean, it's a game about engineering survival on a bug-world, there's a very particular demographic for that.
No chance in hell of trannies making a big splash when 2/3rds of the early install-base and diehard fans have "at least you're not 41%" motivational posters pinned up on their bedroom wall. Just another blow to the idea that these people have power besides what developers (and their histrionic publishers) see fit to give them.

Edit:

They're pretty racist and all but no, they're not somehow more racist than the people on this forum who hate brown folx so much they tried shooting up public places over it.

Two equally racist people can patronize traditionally black schools (to encourage segregation and get blacks "off the streets") or shoot up a black church (to encourage emigration). They could have shared values and beliefs regarding black and brown peoples, but two entirely different answers.
I think it's fair to say that the one who shoots up the black church is more deleterious to actual brown people, but both remain bigots. Many countries need to decide whether bigotry itself is a problem or if outcomes matter more, and I suspect that answer will vary based on the local makeup and history of the populace.
More sane lines to draw in the sand between these two examples are radicalism, propensity for violence, etc., not a supposed sliding scale of racism.

 

[CoolSixtyNiner]

I wonder how broken my mind is when I am so happy that Kovarex stood up to the troons. I guess its because I love Factorio, I love TDD, and I hate the idea that castrated freaks have any power or voice whatsoever anywhere.

well you know what they say, arbeit macht frei.

[the khat quaffer]

The founder of the game, kovarex, has gotten into an argument with the community because he's too based

>I won't even search him up. You know why? Because I don't care at all. I don't care if he cheats on his wife, is a bigot, or pays proper tips in restaurant. These things are simply not relevant. If Stalin had a good writeup on programming, would linking that be dangerous, because some people might read it, start liking HIM, thus start liking communism and the ineviteble mass murder that follows it? Is this how little we trust other individuals when it comes to access to information? I personally trust my readers to have the ability to create their own opinions instead of blindly following whatever says the person they like.

So many replies in that thread are so fucking pozzed, my fucking god.

I was really drunk last night and kept trying to give some of those commenters negative ratings, but it wouldn't let me cause I don't have a reddit account because I'm straight. Fifteen fucking minutes I spent, clicking the little down arrow and wondering why it wouldn't let me.

its the result of who runs the place
the board mods are trannies, everybody knows that going against them will get your post deleted at best or your account banned at worst. even the smallest things (like posting "clown world" in response to tranny shenanigans) will get sanctioned. an environment like that breeds a userbase of cowardly sycophants, so only the most pozzed posts remain visible.

 

[TVStactic]

Get in, get shit done, retire in your mid 30s is the dream. It wouldn't surprise me if the Factorio devs get sick of this shit, cash in and go dick hookers in Prague for the rest of their lives.

they seem far too autistic for that.
genuinely it's devs that like their autism simulator.

Whether you're buying the game, recently bought it or not, login into Steam and go to the store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/427520/Factorio/

Or search "factorio" in the app

Scroll down to the bar graphs above reviews, and click here:

Give the 50 or so June 2021 tranny reviews a big thumbs down or funnies:
View attachment 2285115

If you're really deep into Steam profile gayness then you can give some of the more complex awards to properly mark them as clowns:
View attachment 2285133

Then switch filters & go thumbs up and award a few of the positive reviews. Costs nothing.

If you are a recent buyer, if you aren't playing soon then consider letting the game run and idle on the title screen for a day or two just to drive up your hours played stat to make your review more authentic/less reactionary and gayops.

Do thumbs down even do something?
considering that Valve has a system in place to negate review bombing at large scale, it wouldn't be surprising if thumbs down does nothing. funny on the other hand...

 

[AnOminous]

Statutory rape is a super retarded concept because you, Ameritards, can't say "molestation" or "defilement" or just rape.

If you called it "defilement" it would imply the old rules were still in effect where the child had to be a virgin before you raped them. That shit has been discarded. It's "statutory" because it's only illegal by statute, and is not what used to be common law rape, which had a ton of archaic requirements like the female actually had to fight back physically, had to be "chaste" prior to the rape, it had to be penis-in-vagina, etc.

Many common law crimes have been abolished and replaced by statute along with their old English common law baggage.

Here's the full text of the Factorio Discord announcement banning talk of this issue:

Olivia — Today at 10:40 AM
Hello Engineers,

As you can all imagine, it's been a long 5 days since the FFF post was made, and in that time we have seen a lot of hate and vitriol being thrown around in some very tense and fiery discussions both here and on the subreddit. We as a mod team are disappointed that so many people here, on the subreddit and the internet in general have so quickly taken to personal attacks and hateful language, and this is not tolerated where we moderate.

The Discord and subreddit are run by a tight knit group of volunteers, who spend their personal time looking after a community they take pride and enjoyment in being part of. We're also small, normal days in the factorio community are usually incredibly friendly, and easy to moderate and have never required much staff to look after. This incident with the latest FFF has pushed the team to their limits, requiring extreme hours (In one mods case, a 20 hour non-stop day) of dedicated moderation to simply keep on top of the situation.

As a team, we have decided that we have given up enough time to moderating these heated discussions and we feel now is a good time to put an official close to discussions in the Discord Server. Starting now, discussions regarding FFF-366 are forbidden anywhere on the Discord Server. We understand that this may be upsetting for some who feel they have a bit more to discuss but we just simply do not have time to moderate these discussions anymore.

Lastly, We do not condone sexism, racism, harassment or any other form of abuse either here or on the subreddit. We take this very seriously and have been extremely disappointed in what we have seen get out of hand since the FFF was published.

Kindly,
The Factorio Discord & Subreddit Moderation Team

I appreciate how they didn't mention transphobia, as most places do, in their list of things they don't condone. Very nice.

The fact that Olivia is an anime avatar tr00n is not so nice, but w/e.

They did it for free

Not that it really matters that much because Wube's successful enough to be a pretty hard target, but Kovarex should quit while he's ahead. The Uncle Bob thing was weak AF, but anything he actually says will be much easier to turn against him. He needs to remember that there's a double standard here. They get to say "go shove X up your ass", for their enemies that's a ban-worthy "personal attack", at least on Reddit. In five years he may find he has a "long history of personal attacks on queer trans nonbinary women of color" if he ever finds himself in more bullshit.

These fuckers are still hoping TotalBiscuit dies of ass cancer and they got what they wanted there -- they have a long memory.

I feel kinda bad for him here because to someone from his part of the world, the connection between cancel culture and Communism, and between communism and mass murder, is plain as day, but many Americans are completely ignorant of the history there for (((some reason))). I feel a bit bad singling out Communism when the Nazis did that shit too, but I like triggering tankies more than I care about being historically accurate.

I love how people keep acting like Notch is a sad loser who has nothing nowadays when he seems completely content to shitpost on the internet with millions of dollars in his bank account.

The majority of his critics are doing the exact same fucking thing but living off their neetbux or parents allowance at 34 years of age.

Get in, get shit done, retire in your mid 30s is the dream. It wouldn't surprise me if the Factorio devs get sick of this shit, cash in and go dick hookers in Prague for the rest of their lives.

In fairness, Notch self-identifies as a sad loser. The guy's clearly not well, but I'd rather be mentally ill with billions in the bank than mentally ill in my mother's basement.

Okay, that's a fair point. I appreciate you clearing this for me.

 

[Rent Tin]

Just grabbed this the other day, wasn't sure if I would end up liking it all that much. Somehow, it pulled me in right away and I've been staring at conveyor belts for the last five hours. Glad my purchase went towards supporting someone who doesn't give a shit about the autistic screeching of tranny jannies.
