Hey everyone! This is a new community focused on NonPolitical Comics (NPCs), which essentially means no gloom and doom of the day stuff.

If you like the idea, we need help! Take a couple of minutes to find a comic that you like and post it here for the rest of us!

FFF (Fun Factorio Fact): On Steam alone, players have wasted over 88,000 years of collective time playing the game. That's not accounting for the fact they release a DRM-free version on their website.

I have 1,500 hours. But I know someone with 13,000 hours. That's not a typo, thirteen thousand hours. 10,000 is on steam.

Wow! I'm only 1000 hours on steam, but I know the real number is much higher. Factorio lan parties at work (all use a local nondrm copy, Factorio doest care). The factory must grow!

I can't imagine any other game where you can casually say "I only have 1000 hours in one part of my playtime" and the entire fanbase shrugs it off

You know, when the apocalypse happens the machines won't even bother bulding the simulation, they're just gonna plug the human batteries into a Multiplayer Factorio server

I was talking about this the other day;

I hope when (if? 😭) millennials and zoomers retire some nursing homes become enormous persistent Lan parties.

Imagine waking up, no work, no obligations, but you get to work on your factorio or Minecraft play through with the gang who are similarly flush with free time.
