    I also hear Cave Johnson yelling in my head, good times in deed.

    Tap for info on the quote

    Character from Portal2 game by valve, the quote in full:

    “When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”






  • You can always say: ‘I’m reading a book or watch series x atm, why what are you up to / why do you wanna know?’

    Choose a book or series you know by heart and you always have an alibi.

    If they are the kind who asks are you free on day x? Without stating a reason ask ‘why do you wanna know?’ Or say ‘I think I’ve got plans that day why?’







  • I’ve got a similar set of stages but mine also include:

    Wondering if I should just restart at a new location, feeling intensifies when looking at the spagetti.

    Walking away looking for hard drives for three hours.

    Spending hours detailing a pipeline/belt system.

    Realising that the last extension of my factory wasn’t hooked to electricity/raw inputs, thus aggregating issues with previous stages.



  • I often built one big tower on stilts with empty ‘maintenance’ floors in between factory floors in which I hide lots of spaghetti. I often have had a mall (subject to change now) and usually set out to built part X, get the raw resources needed and cram it all on one floor of the tower.

    I have also previously abused the fact that you can use trains to get under the water line. Deep enough under it and you won’t get damaged. Have built myself an under water base a la bioshock. Was great fun.

    Now in 1.0 I have set up my main base and I am considering options of where and what to do. Just got my trains and will see where it takes me.


  • I’m currently over-engineering the starter base, I plan for tubes, increases in throughput, change of input requirements due to alternative recipes and separating the power grid to be able to toggle specific parts on and off. I soon want to produce reinforced iron plates…

    Have currently the milestone for coal selected and am about half way. But my doggy collection grows I am at 5 dogs now.





  • They said it’s cracking down on crime within the train / subway system of which checking fares is a part. So they don’t have them there to just check fares but their job is to reduce and prevent crimes and while they there they check for fares.

    One guy skipped fares, he had a history of mental disorders and law violations, and their best course of action is to shoot him, and some bystanders. The fact that both officers shot the guy, with sufficient bullets fired that random bystanders can be hit. Their aim is dog shit.
