After having spent the last few days playing Mindustry again, I can say that the factory building automation itch in my brain has been successfully scratched.

Alas, the assessments that have been sitting on my desk for the last week still haven't grown wings and flown away, despite my best wishes otherwise. Unfortunate.

I know there's many, many serious and complex reasons to hate American prisons but the idea of charging imprisoned people for and then taking away a free open source strategy game for no discernible reason is uniquely vexing. How dare the prisoners have fun. https://prisonjournalismproject.org/2024/03/31/popular-video-game-banned-federal-prisons/

This Game Captured Minds in Prison. Then It Disappeared.

The video game Mindustry makes people think about logistics and strategy. It helped people grow in one federal prison. Then it was taken away.
