Many years ago, I starting to make a Factorio Let's Play series. I remembered it being really dumb and awful, but I just rewatched the first three episodes and it's actually not so bad. The volume is very low on episode 1 and I do spend a stupid amount of time explaining things far too slowly and repetitively at first, but actually it's otherwise okay once I got going.

I only did 5 episodes as no one was really watching (I think one of them was still on zero views a few days after upload, which was disheartening - it looks like there have been a few views over the years, but it's still in single digits) and I was running out of steam.

@Kat the Leopardess Ah, you might be waiting a very long time then, as Wube (the developers) have a "no sale" policy which as far as I'm aware they've always stuck to. The price has never gone down, only (very occasionally) up. https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/016-price-change

@Kat the Leopardess Yeah, sorry. It is at least a policy that gives some certainty, you can be sure you won't buy it and then wished you'd waited a bit longer when a sale comes along.
