  • When I first learned about Satisfactory, I thought this would just be Factorio with the unnecessary complication of adding 3D. But I got it through a bundle at some point, so I playtested it a bit (not much, just 200 hours) and then decided to put it away until 1.0 is released (as I really want to see the full experience before I’m done with the game). Since then, I tried every single game (I swear!) where you could build kind of a base in 3D freely, and nowhere saw a building experience that came close to Satisfactory. Not all is perfect there, for example I think it really should have terraforming, so not every little rock could block you from building your megafactory, but anyway, I’m counting days for when I can start building in Satisfactory again.








  • Scott E. Fahlman proposed using :-) and :-( to mark jokes and not-jokes respectively in internet posts in 1982, and they (and lots of variations) have been in use ever since. IBM’s Codepage 437 character set (as used by the original PC) had two dedicated smiley characters even before that.
    There was no golden age of the internet where there were no emoticons.
