Personally I am living for the next time I hang out with one of my “friends”. I don’t really know them all that well, but they seem interested in getting together and playing factorio with me. Just remember you don’t have to have long term, grand reasons for sticking around.
History and good explanations of what was changed and why is incredibly useful for being able to determine if something is a bug, a feature, and why something was written a particular way.
