    Whilst working on something long and complicated, my brain broke and I needed to make something short and fun. This is that thing. I am your dad

    Factorio is scary. Like, genuinely. It makes days and weeks just disappear

      There was a period during lockdown in which I luckily didn't have to work, but there was at least one week that got completely absorbed by factorio lol

      I was a productive member of society once. Then I discovered a combination of Space Exploration and Krastorio.

    I would still watch a whole Hardspace: Shipbreaker vid tbh.
    Love the animation as always.

    I saw factorio in the thumbnail and I clicked. Eventually you will graduate from hundreds to thousands of belts, to hundreds to thousands of trains. My friends and I call it "cracktorio" and we frequently go on weekend long benders.

      @ScrapTakes  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I had some absolute cracktorio sessions during the pandemic - adult obligations have kept me away since which is probably good in a way!

    I can't speak for farming sim but american truck simulator and euro truck sim 2 are somehow the most thrilling things in the world to me. perfect brain numbing material (happy to see you back btw!!!)

    • @ScrapTakes
      @ScrapTakes  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I did actually have a brief dalliance with Truck Sim a while ago - it was more therapeutic than thrilling for me but def enjoyed it more than Farming Sim!

    This video reminded me that hardspace shipbreaker is on my steam wishlist, and that I should probably buy it. I just wish it had a vr mode.
    Also, great video, even if I really dont agree with your opinion of farming simulator lol

  • @johntelekom9712

    you should check out My Summer Car man, its not a classical "dad game" Id say, but theres few things as chill as building a car while getting absolutely hammered, then drunk driving a tractor down a dirtroad to the next town for 15 minutes, just to grab even more beer from the store

  • @jamesjwr

    If there's any other millennial no kid dads in the comments be sure to not purchase the Haliborange Adult multi gummies for you Vit D supplement as they are far too expensive, go store brand only and pop the change in your help to buy ISA. Love dad.

    • @ScrapTakes

    Thanks for validating the neat little category of games I just realized I almost exclusively play. Vintage Story is my crack of choice currently, because there is something very soothing to the lizard-caveman-dad brain about collecting and hoarding massive amounts of preserved foods in a neat little cellar underground with a good nutritional balance through sustainable farming and hunting.

    Random YT agoroithium person here.
    Dad games are great, I play so many of them. If you want a Dadgame that is driving based, Id recommend MudRunner or its 2nd game SnowRunner.
    And Crackorio is a dangerous game at times.

    Hey Dad, really good video and really nicely edited!
    Here's some other fun dad games from just a quick scroll in the steam library:
    openTTD
    Vintage Story
    dwarf fortress
    sixty four
    Book of travels
    mini metro
    dorfromantik
    Cities: skylines (oh boy, just letting that run as a screen saver with a mug of tea...)
    rolling line
    bulwark: falconeer chronicles
    DeltaV: rings of Saturn (let those drones do the heavy lifting)
    KSP (not 2, not yet...)
    The FAR games (Lone sail and changing tides), both lovely worlds to just sit back on the sofa with :)
    Hope that list helps someone find something new and fun! Some are stretching "dad" game a bit but we all play different stuff to relax don't we

    I've discovered a sub-genre of dad games - the old dad games. As my father nears his 80th birthday, he gravitates more and more towards games with familiar game mechanics, like Civilization 5, or classic games CnC Generals. Like with other things in life, I think he feels like the world has changed too much and that he doesn't have the energy to keep up.

    • @ScrapTakes
      @ScrapTakes  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is 100% going to be me when I'm 80, still playing the same games I like now. I never got into CIV but I used to like Age of Empires and Rise of Nations so maybe it's worth another go

  • @fuzzer
    @fuzzer 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The weird thing about farm simulator is how many actual farmers enjoy it. I know people in real life who spend their day working an actual farm, go inside, and work a virtual farm

    • @ScrapTakes
      @ScrapTakes  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, same as truck sim and games like that. I'm sure it works for some people but I didn't have the attention span for it lol

  • @JulianMikado

    Working a real job nets you money, 15% of which you can use for buying something to make you happy. At most. Maybe. If you're lucky and staying alive tax isn't taking all)
    Working a virtual job rewards you with 90% - 100% return of happiness for the time invested.
    Now go figure out what the better usage of your time is.

    I became a dad when I got medicated for ADHD, started a business and still love games, but have no patience to sit playing one, especially if they have any long-winded story. These days I can only stomach games made of pure gameplay: Trackmania, Lies of P, Factorio, etc. And after an hour I am done. All the cool RPGs, 100h games and my ironman OSRS account are for when I'll be retired with a lot of time to kill. Anyway, thanks for the recs, dad.

    • @ScrapTakes

    Oi, Factorio is a Nerd Game, not a Dad Game. This is our turf. Watch what you're claiming, or you'll find out what it's like to have a gang of local compsci students break a gaming laptop over the back of your head.
