A community for comic lovers who just want to get away from politics and gloom and doom.
- Rule 1 - Be civil.
- Rule 2 - Don't be uncivil.
Posting guidelines:
- No political comics. This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn't belong here.
- Where possible, tag the title with [comic name]. This refers to the name of the artist or overall comic, not the title of the specific strip.
- Tag NSFW / NSFL / AI content accordingly.

FFF (Fun Factorio Fact): On Steam alone, players have wasted over 88,000 years of collective time playing the game. That's not accounting for the fact they release a DRM-free version on their website.
I have 1,500 hours. But I know someone with 13,000 hours. That's not a typo, thirteen thousand hours. 10,000 is on steam.
Wow! I'm only 1000 hours on steam, but I know the real number is much higher. Factorio lan parties at work (all use a local nondrm copy, Factorio doest care). The factory must grow!
I can't imagine any other game where you can casually say "I only have 1000 hours in one part of my playtime" and the entire fanbase shrugs it off
One

YEARS
You know, when the apocalypse happens the machines won't even bother bulding the simulation, they're just gonna plug the human batteries into a Multiplayer Factorio server
I was talking about this the other day;
I hope when (if? 😭) millennials and zoomers retire some nursing homes become enormous persistent Lan parties.
Imagine waking up, no work, no obligations, but you get to work on your factorio or Minecraft play through with the gang who are similarly flush with free time.
