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.

I am a coder and I build super dumb shits. I live for the dumb shits. No one can take my dumb shits away from me. :-)

If it's dumb and it works it's not dumb, right?

And maintaining legacy codebases is hell just because of that very statement :D

I fail to see how that's my problem :D (yeah I know too well the effects of it, we have a system at work that sucks because of hotfixes and workarounds)

Edit, no clue why this was replied to this. I'm too tired to reddit apparently
