Seriously, I ordered a steam controller right before they were discontinued, and got a refund :(

That’s kinda where I was sitting when I got the dlc. I had played thousands of hours and was moving my way into factorio and satisfactory. I bought biotech bc I loved rimworld, but I’ve not even finished an entire playthrough since.

I agree that live games are a problem, and helldivers 1 had an offline option, but Helldiver’s 2 being always online is better executed than any other live games I’ve seen. And, their servers have been needed up significantly since Friday.

Fortnight absolutely kicked off the battle Royale phase of recent years. PUBG was coming into it’s own at the same time, but is a more hardcore experience so it didn’t get the viral boom. Fortnight being free to play and fairly casual put wind in it’s sails like Minecraft had, every kid everywhere played it.

Holy crap everything you were saying was hitting word chords in me, so relatable, then you said Monticello. I just moved to Earl Park, was going to have to decide between Century Link and satellite, then Mainstream came through like a week before I closed on the house and installed cheap fast fiber.
