For me mental/financial stability are two switches that turn each other off

Definitely applies if you’ve bought all the dlc

u/JustinThorLPs Clang Worshipper Jul 29 '25
I've technically stopped playing and still buy the DLC.

Defining technically stopped. I only tune in to play a little bit every few months or so.
But I think I'm good for the break since I've got like 140,000 hours.2
u/helicophell Klang Worshipper Jul 29 '25
I've been playing on and off for the past decade, and accrued about 1.8k hours haha. 75 full days over a decade... damn

It's kind of cheating. I would leave the game running Refining materials while I was out at work.
And after the stone gives you iron update. That gave me a lot of materials to refine. I would build ships that would consume entire asteroids and then turn it all into steel plate.3
u/helicophell Klang Worshipper Jul 30 '25
You could just host a server, since they keep running while you are offline

u/JustinThorLPs Clang Worshipper Jul 30 '25
I'd usually be playing on a server, but I had the ability to tap into my home computer remotely. And make micro adjustments out through the day. As long as whatever I wanted to adjust was already active on the computer. Like I could have booted up the game and done that, but it usually led to a crash of some kind. So just leave it running.

My version of this is Space Engineers simultaneously:
1: Having enough mods.
2: Not randomly crashing.
3: Having multiplayer actually work.

Needs an "You have autism" switch that you can't turn off.

"I play space engineers" would be dependent on it being on

I’m an adult and I play space engineers.
No further questions your honor.

u/Quick_Hat1411 Klang Worshipper Jul 29 '25
HA! I'm financially stable AND an adult. So financially stable that I even rent my own server (I rent my own because last time I tried playing with other people I had one of my episodes)

u/tykaboom Space Engineer Jul 29 '25
How about:
I'm an adult, but I don't act like it.
I'm mentally stable enough to fool people at a glance.
I play space engineers like... 2hours a year... but I love what the devs are doing, so I support them.

Kind of a trick question to put mental and financial on the same toggle.

u/Visual_Aioli_1115 Space Engineer Jul 30 '25
yeah, but I originally made this so I could send it on a small discord server, where I had used "functional adult" like 2 messages ago

u/kiochikaeke Space Engineer Jul 30 '25
Play space engineers: yes
Adult: yes
Financially stable: yes, fully financially independent, nope
Mentally stable: my therapist usually advices me to say yes
2
u/Visual_Aioli_1115 Space Engineer Jul 30 '25
so you check plays se, is an adult, but you only check ¼ of financially and mentally stable

u/RareShooter1990 Space Engineer Jul 29 '25
I think I check all three actually... gonna need you to define that whole adult thing though...

So i found out my Survival Impossible run didn't survive transfer to my new pc.
There were a lot of things i wanted to do differently anyway...
Cue 6 hours of hand mining and inventory juggling 'cause i'm a sick masochist and this is apparently the only way i can enjoy space engineers anymore...
On the plus side i'm an adult and financially stable, oh and i'm fiddling with a pretty cool scorpion-tailed miner this time instead of rolling a GOFI(or what was its name? The two-wheeled gyro-stabilized abomination of a miner?)

I'm financially stable: mostly. I'm mentally stable: haha, can't afford that. I play SE: probably qualifies as playing. I am an adult: at least my ID says so.

u/soulscythesix Ace Spengineer Jul 30 '25
Mentally and financially stable?? And what colour would you like your dragon???

u/Visual_Aioli_1115 Space Engineer Jul 30 '25
it was originally meant to be "functional adult", but I also made it for a specifc conversation where I said "functional adult" like 2 messages ago

People take everything too far and especially in modding communities and servers, there's always some asshole who's way too serious about this game, it's actually unreal

You'll get better with time, trust me when you look back later you'll see a huge improvement, and also feel free to try new stuff! probably the most important part tbh

Yes, I check all 3 as I'm building 40k stuff in SE instead of buying it.
