I did. Tower defense. I used to think about it and draw pictures of it back in the early 80s. Then tower defense games became a thing (mid 2000s I think) and I was like “woah”.

I think that intense concentration breaks reality.

    I was a kid when all the Maxis “sim” games were out, like SimCity 2000 and SimFarm. What I really wanted at the time was a sim factory. I wanted to set up production lines, figure out material needs, build out logistics. But I figured I would be the only person who had fun with that sort of game.

    Then one day around 2014 I’m a grown man poking through the Steam store and I see this simple looking little game about setting up factories and production lines, and I thought it might be entertaining for a bit. But I was wrong. I have never been nerd-sniped as effectively as I was when I first tried Factorio.
