Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

500 megawatts? Pshhj that's not even though to power the flux capacitor.

I can easily get 500 megawatts with a few power towers burning rocket fuel, plus I don't have to worry about the logistics of recycling uranium and plutonium waste.

I'm unrelated news, the Satisfactory 1.0 update is pretty great. What are we talking about again? Oh sorry gotta go build another heavy modular frames factory

this game destroyed my life for weeks. I'm doing shapez 2 now and I'll probably finish up my miserable tour of factory games with factorio afterward

EDIT: also rocket fuel seems extremely overpowered to me, I don't think powering tier 9 should be as trivial as making some RF and slamming down fuel plants for ten minutes

I'm more of a factorio guy myself. I'm going to become a hermit next monday
