    E/acc people are slobbering clods. Don’t follow that account. Same as the protonatalism freaks.

        Yeah. The ethos is basically “AI will solve everything, so if we just solve AI, we can ignore everything else. AI will even solve the issues with AI, so we shouldn’t waste any time solving them first.”

          So basically religion (faith) + AI…

          I can’t imagine how this could turn out bad.

            I dont really understand why they shouldnt be able to believe that. They are people with their own interests and ideals. Why does that make them bad?

      What is this meme about? I’m not a developer, so I have no idea. I’m speaking as mod and deciding whether to pull it…

        This meme is about Factorio, a fun game that some kinds of people (especially engineers) can get obsessed about.

        I assume someone is commenting not on the meme itself, but on whoever posted it and their “e/acc” affiliation.

    If you liked Factorio but want cuter characters and less violence, try Oxygen Not Included.

      less violence

      You say that, but if those dupes dont put on the fucking spacesuit again for the millionth time, the colony is going to get some “fresh hires” soon.

        Or drop the 800 kg of ice while going up the colony’s main ladder just because their shift ended, or dig a block out and decide rather than just stepping down to the floor, that they’ll now jump up onto a ledge on the wall and get stuck until they start to piss themselves and/or suffocate?

          I have Oxygen not included a shot and it’s more of a human management type game than the more exponentially growing machinery base that factory offers

            At the beginning, yes. But, once you reach the mid-game your dupes’ needs are basically managed. The end-game is all about crazy engineering.

            Agreed. I love both games, but ONI is a colony sim like RimWorld or Dwarf fortress.

              Yes, that is more succinctly put than my comment. ONI is it’s own game that has more resemblance to RPG elements on top of the colony sim elements. It isn’t the game for me, but I can see the appeal!

    What is “one-shotted” in the context of drugs, specifically psychedelics? I.e., why does that term make the person first think of ayuhuasca?

      In the case of drugs, people usually refer to someone being “one shotted” when they experience long term or permanent changes because they took too much, the wrong drug, or just weren’t psychologically ready for it.

      My guess is they overhaul their life after a trip; realize they hate their job and go do something else.

      Just a guess though

    I tried it. Looks like a very fun and addictive game that I’m too dumb to play well.

      Realest comment right here. Factorio does not want me to play it. I’d stink it up with my unimaginative, linear thinking.
