I got a call back literally 5 minutes later.

Proof that if you play enough first person shooters, you are definitely Ranger-grade material.

You play with trains on the computer and your job is Linux engineer...

Nah I told the person I wasn't interested in the position, hence the joke response. I'm just astonished that they called me back after that e-mail.

Edit- Also trains in Factorio are a pain in the rear end and honestly I haven't even gotten to that point yet.

I was gonna say that it takes a certain kind of person to excel at factorio, but apparently that's not you OP.

I mean the best coder I know has been playing the poo poo out of that game for many months.

edit: I've never played it, it looks more like a job than a game to me.

I haven't played all that much because it's time consuming. I think I'm in the middle of re-hauling my power grid on my current save now that I have accumulators and solar power, which is why I've been dreading going back. It very much does feel more like a job than a game.

The problem with not having a job is when you've been out of work so long no ones give you a chance. It's not like I don't want a job its that as every day goes by I just get worse and worse at actualizing the skills needed to find and keep a job, but this doesn't get me down because hey, once life turns around. It really turns around.

Factorio is real good and I am looking forward to the new rail path implements to make it out of beta and into the steam mainline.
I also do Railway Oriented Programming so I look forward to stealing your job OP

That's pretty loving cool.
