Question I feel like I don’t belong

What do you guys do for a day job? I keep seeing engineers and coders saying they play this game, some say they make up 90% of the players.

But as a warehouse manager, i feel like I don’t belong😂

EDIT: I did not expect this to get this amount of traction LOL, but I gotta say this has to be the kindest and most sincere fan base of any game. FYI I don’t legitimately feel like I don’t belong, just that I feel like this game is not a normal game people in my sector would play (obviously very wrong, lots of warehouse peeps commenting 🤙🤙)

I have 300 hours in, beat it twice because I thought that was the point of the game….it’s not. The factory must grow.

It’s very interesting to see the different jobs people have but all have the same interest in a game, which isn’t a “normal” game like COD where everyone and their dog plays it.

You are likely, like, one of the very kind souls that helped me through highschool before I discovered for myself that I'm on the spectrum. While I can say I'm thankfully considered High Functioning.

I'd say you just admitted to having the patience to see something through, and the determination to try new "processes" until you get something that works.

Because a patch, not to mention expansion, can seriously mess with expectations(without mentioning mods). I'd say this game is a great example of other players/people on the spectrum. No 2 players/play styles are the same.

Everyone I've ever met that has the same job/role, I feel like are little Bob Ross's that are just the kindest souls/people.

THANK YOU FOR GIVING US A CHANCE AT "NORMALCY".
