I played for five minutes and just quit. Just useless. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 7, 15:54 9
- Though in the big picture aren't all games just useless? - JD Nov 7, 16:10 2
  - Next, you'll question the naming conventions of Final Fantasy. -- nm - David Nov 7, 16:17
  - not Mario Kart, that's for sure - prayformojo Nov 7, 16:12
- Oh, no no. It gets much more involving and complex. nm - Dignan Nov 7, 15:56 5
  - I've hit sort of a frustrating lull. The projects are all out of reach for quite a while. - pmb Nov 7, 16:04 2
    - Projects pop up out of the blue all the time. - Dignan Nov 7, 16:08 1
      - Yeah, I've done that. I'm relatively far in and it seems to have stagnated for the last several hours. - pmb Nov 7, 16:18
  - Oh God yes. I'm seriously thinking this might be one of my favorite games of the year. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 7, 16:03 1
    - I agree with cynicumber. nm - Dignan Nov 7, 16:12

What's truly annoying is that it's impossible to stop playing. nm - Dignan Nov 7, 15:40 5
- That was me at 4:30 AM -- nm - Dano Nov 7, 16:36
- I've got a really quick trigger with these time suck games lately -- nm - Reagen Nov 7, 16:07 1
  - I'm just glad it's not on Facebook -- nm - con_carne Nov 7, 17:10
- It is. I've gotten nothing done today. I'm finding I have to make 4-5x what I'm selling to stay stable. Even as I add more megaclippers, it's still - pmb Nov 7, 15:43 1
  - I think it's an averaging thing. I find I have to keep my production like 20% higher than my average sales, and have a fair bit of unsold stock. - mafic Nov 7, 16:33
I was going to ask "what is this paperclip game you are talking about?" earlier. I think I'm glad I didn't. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 7, 15:40 1
- It's a total time suck, but now I want to beat it. -- nm - pmb Nov 7, 15:41
