My trick is to never play Factorio singleplayer

Buddy, I've been gaming everyday for 20+ years. It's all I think about and I still haven't gotten addicted so doubt it's happening.

Nothing. Embrace the chaos. My 5yo ensures I have no gaming sessions past 30 seconds.

I don't have a strategy, as much as I have obligations now that I'm supposed to be an adult. I've been a geek and a gamer for 30 years, and I don't see that changing any time soon.

About 15 years ago I did this one little trick. People have been doing it for literal millenia, and it really helped me cut back on the time spent gaming. I had kids... Since then, I only ~~get to~~ play on weekends.

Seems a bit excessive to me, but as long as it works for you all is good. You had to implement multiple kids though? One did not do the job?

Doesn't help - I play instead of sleeping

Thats a funny way of spelling biters.

Nukes, arty, and spidertrons are my way.
