Cute computer noises

I still don't understand hard drive tech

I was not prepared for rampant mod in Factorio. D:

That's the sound of my childhood . I recorded my IBM 5155 recently, it's the same kind of thing. Though that one has no hard drive, just floppy drives. Still, you can hear it roar to life!

Indeed, i had to turn that shit off. Feels alright at first, but then it takes your focus away from building to actually trying to survive

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

It's definitely what I want out of Factorio; the AI in vanilla is way too easy, but I was somewhat screwed over by my starting location. There's no additional stone patches near my base, and my starting patch has basically run out, making it really difficult to expand. I've now more or less used up all my coal, iron and copper, but I can't expand to any of the other patches. I'm really close to getting bots... If I can hang on long enough to get them set up and repairing my base, then maybe I can leave long enough to get some stone and in turn expand.

Thats what i thought at first aswell. "Finally, enemies are challenging and seems fair enough" They are not fair later though...

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

How far did you get?

[General]

I don't actually know and remember if enemy was even last tier or not. It was just my defences were barely holding them at bay and a lot of resources went just to defend. And they kept resurrecting way too fast.

Bob, do you know if artists get paid relatively well through Bandcamp? Or through another platform?

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

I believe Bandcamp is generally the best revenue split and that's before you factor in Bandcamp Fridays where you get 100% (after payment processing fees)

[Chyros]

Cool, I'll make sure to support them on there then .

[General]

Starting to work again. Can i just get paid without working?

[Chyros]

No universal basic income for you!

[TheDR]

I'm depressed again! And just to top off my shitty morning, the gov announces they want to cut disability allowance for no reason! Fuck.

[Chyros]

:(

[TheDR]

Work has been good, but I'm worried I'm not going to pass my probation period.

[Chyros]

Why?

[TheDR]

Because I'm struggling to keep up with the tasks required for the job, I think my undiagnosed dyslexia is the main cause. I'm paying for a dyslexia assessment on Wednesday.

Also, I've had to take time off work again due to my mental health...

[Chyros]

Sorry to hear, mate :( . I you want to talk or something, let me know.
