Or, instead of all that. You can spend your entire summer at the south pole playing a single game of Factorio.

the joke's lost on me? I know the game (never played it, though) but why "a single game"?

A single game of Factorio can take a long time. Mine usually take around 100 hours.

The craving to (tweak|move|refactor|grow) the base for certain personality types that are richly represented on HN can mean you can spend hundreds more on it too.

Try installing the Space Exploration mod, and you can easily add an extra zero to that figure.

I played more hours than I care to admit during the pandemic and I think that was... 3, 4 games?

You can practically play it forever.
