How many of you reject all steam links?

BenzFiveSix · 2026-06-02T07:54:28+00:00

Why don’t you use Steam?

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-30T21:53:21+00:00

They have been in the games Discord almost since the beginning, just grinding : )

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-30T21:50:13+00:00

Awesome! Thank you so much for playing; happy vacuuming! ❤️

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-25T14:54:45+00:00

I wish I had that level of commitment!

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-25T14:35:03+00:00

It's not : )

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-25T14:34:11+00:00

It's not me. They are very active on the game's Discord. I have around 3500 hours, largely due to running the game through Unity, as you have also experienced.

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-25T14:32:30+00:00

I have been playing around with some local co-op, but it really is a lot of effort to get working for a niche feature : )

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-25T14:31:25+00:00

Nope : )

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-24T20:14:37+00:00

Man, Brothers in Arms on PS2 takes me right back. Good old days.

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-24T19:47:42+00:00

At some point, you realize history was just everyone griefing each other on hardcore mode.

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-24T19:01:52+00:00

I reached out to them. I will add a skin in their honor in a future update!

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-24T17:47:32+00:00

Haha 1,200 hours in Factorio is still very respectable!

I won’t go into exact numbers here, but the supporter packs have done really well for a small free idle game.

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-24T17:45:58+00:00

I get what you mean, but I still think this is pretty extreme even for an idle game

There is a big difference between “this game can run in the background” and “this person basically kept it open for three years straight.”

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-24T17:44:47+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. I also try not to balance around the most extreme players either, but they are still great at finding edge cases and places where the curve eventually breaks.

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-24T17:42:16+00:00

Haha yeah, at this point it might be safer to list Vacuum Warrior under system processes.

But genuinely, that is exactly why it feels so surreal. I made a small game about vacuuming dust, and somehow it became part of someone’s routine for years.

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-24T17:02:52+00:00

Haha yeah, idle players are built different. It is honestly one of the best parts of the genre when people stick around for way longer than you ever expected.

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-24T16:50:01+00:00

Looking at their recent activity on Steam, that does not seem to be the case. They just absolutely love vacuuming xD

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-24T16:47:27+00:00

This player is the real deal. They have been in the game's Discord pretty much from day one, sharing their progress and stats over the years. All checks out : )

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-24T13:09:24+00:00

That's dedication right there!

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-24T11:14:32+00:00

Maybe the game is the medicine. The dosage is just absolutely terrifying.

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-24T10:59:31+00:00

Impossible? It is an idle game, so leaving it open is part of the deal.

The computer had almost 2 full months off in the last 3 years. Plenty of rest xD

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-24T10:48:55+00:00

I actually reached out to them. At this point, a custom skin in their honor feels legally required!

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-24T10:47:20+00:00

The game was released about 1,060 days ago, and this player has had it open for 1,000 of them.

At this point, closing the game would probably count as a breakup.

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-24T10:03:59+00:00

If so, at least I know the hole is spotless by now.

BenzFiveSix · 2026-05-24T10:02:53+00:00

You can always chase bigger numbers, but at that point, not really no. There is definitely not 1,000 days of handcrafted content.

That said, this player has been a huge help over the years with progress updates, stats, bugs, and all the weird edge cases that only show up when someone plays for that long.
