The hive mind is strong. It’s wild. I see it happen with every single platform all the way back to Facebook showing up after MySpace. Then insta, Snap, Vine, and it’ll just keep happening. I’ll use whatever platform I find entertaining, and TikTok has definitely entertained me.
Counterpoint: I’m 33 and a good portion of my friends my age have TikTok accounts and have sent me videos. Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal.
I just started playing for the first time after being gifted a Steam Deck this Christmas. My brothers have been telling me about this game for years and I’ve always been intrigued. I even played a VERY basic spin on the concept on my phone called Builderment and spend probably 10 hours playing around with that over a few months.
Since Christmas I’ve spend 55 hours playing vanilla Factorio. The first hour was playing through a few tutorials. The rest has all been on one playthrough. After I researched Robotics two days ago and unlocked the additional logistics chests last night, I’ve gotten my first four nuclear reactors online and begin completely transforming my base from the ground up and expanding outward.
I haven’t been using any guides or wiki articles but I did look up the concept of the main bus around hour 30 when my spaghetti base was becoming unmanageable. This game is so freaking amazing.
I’ve been to many a pump that instructs you to insert and leave your card, then ‘latches’ onto the card once you’ve inserted it, locking it into place until the authorization for the transaction is complete. I’ve seen them in Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana.
