    Hey! That sounds like a wild ride for sure.

    I've played satisfactory. Me and a friend built a giant sprawling mess of spaghetti. I remember it fondly, but haven't played in a few months. The most impressive thing I made in it was an automated self-filling storage of everything. Figuring out all the logic to keep goods flowing was really fun. I have a bit of an addictive personality, and solving that puzzle consumed all my waking thoughts for a few days. I don’t hang out in the broader community much though, so I’m not sure what you’re looking for. Reaction, advice, or just a sounding board? If it’s helpful, here are my meandering thoughts.

    I’ve been wrestling with a fairly cynical worldview lately, especially after re‑watching Bo Burnham’s Inside and his other work. He nails the tension between creating content and feeling the weight of constant attention. We’re at a point where everything screams for our focus, and even though we’re more connected than ever, a lot of that connection feels hollow. It seems like humanity is at the precipice of a new era.

    Enjoy the ride, remember your passions, and try not to lose yourself. And share your tower when it's done, I'd love to see it :)

      I'm not sure if I'd add much value to a discord and such, but I'd maybe like to lose myself to some satisfactory again for awhile.
