    I am taking a day off in near future and will uncharacteristically have writing bandwidth. ("That's a weird day off." Literally my hobby, and don't worry, Factory Town still going to happen.) Anything in particular you'd like to hear about?

        Factory Town, by the way, is my favorite factory optimization game, a very niche genre that is probably underplayed by people who follow me. It is a great entry point into this genre. Don't play it if optimizing conveyor belts sounds like work; do play it if you diagram for fun.

        Another great game in the genre is Big Pharma, which has similar aesthetic but very different early-game gameplay and very different late-game gameplay. Also, Big Pharma cares *a lot* more about its point-of-view on healthcare than Factory Town does on maximizing efficiency.

        "Big Pharma doesn't have a point of view on healthcare." Spoiler alert: it does, and it's brilliantly communicated by game mechanics (at the highest levels of play) rather than by flavor text.

        Literally me talking to a friend two weeks ago: "I had time to write code while on vacation!" Them: "You have a weird definition of 'vacation'."

        Biotechnology and the future political opposition/narrative that will hinder innovation. Also, what would be the most challenged innovation.

        For contractors / freelancers, it would be nice to hear some good approaches about building client portfolios, how to approach new clients, etc.
