Kind of a hard question to word, but is there anything in your life you have recommended to other people but no one's ever gotten into?

I love podcasts and have friends who still thank me for getting them into this one or that one. But I've never gotten anyone to listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me. I don't know if the name is unappealing or the concept but people seem to bounce off immediately.

So what can't you get people into and why should we check it out?

I love and talk a lot about factory games (Factorio, Shapez, Factory Idle,…) but I don’t think any of my friends would ever get into it. But I don’t really care.

The factory must grow...

Factorio! Yeah, I always wanted to try multiplayer with someone of my friends, but never ever anyone wanted to even try the demo.

You might check out Satisfactory. It's pretty neat

I didn’t like it personally. It seemed like a dream come true but the third dimension from a player perspective makes it annoying to build anything and generally confusing I find. Will see how Shapez 2 handles the jump to 3D.

Satisfactory doesn't have the same swing as factorio.

Techtonica is a lot more factorio like.
