Someone convinced me to study computer science 20 years ago. The career possibilities with good money and easy work have put the rest of life on easy mode (for now). Even meeting my wife and having my family would never have happend without that decision.

Thumbs up for the Silo series. Even though it’s not in outer space, many other boxes tick: multi-generation, environmental systems, spoiled planet …

Our accounts are the same age.

Tip after playing for one night: Remember to save, as there is no autosave. Unfortunately, Quicksave (F5) does not work on Xbox, and cannot be bound to a controller key.
