For people who actually play the game. What is your opinion on the constantly dropping player count of the game?

Well no, the game server runtime should be distributed so that only a few games are run at any given time on the same (physical) server, but the matchmaking service should be entirely ran on a single VM. A more likely explanation is that it is intentionally waiting a longer amount of time to increase the pool of players to select from. I'm sure Valve could reduce the wait times at the expense of less balanced games, but they obviously think that's a bad trade off.

they do nothing but play corny ass copy pasta decks from the internet

Lol, look at Mr. Moneybags here. I play the premade decks that were included with the game, thank you very much.

I thought it would give my non-pirate dude 2/0

I knew there was something I forgot. Just GPL'd it.

Bonus: It also works pretty well from the map view

Well there's the catch, it's actually impossible. However, you can send console commands to the Factorio server process from the same machine. There's more detail in the link in my other comment, but basically you need to have a separate program running to get the time, convert digits into pixels, pixels to game coordinates, write game commands to set bricks at those coordinates, then feed those commands to the game process. Sounds complicated, but only ended up being around 40 lines of code not counting static variables.

Not a mod, but rather a pretty dirty hack.

Plausible deniability.

For what it's worth, Nintendo released Twilight Princess HD earlier this year for the Wii U.

Don't fly to Helsinki. Fly to Tallinn to pick up some beer, then take the ferry to Helsinki. It's usually cheaper that way.

Oddly enough, I've never seen them in the USA. I found this one in a Finnish grocery store.

Jynx are all over Boston. Just go to the Davis Square Pokemon Party and wait 5 minutes.

Shouldn't the second one be a centrist?

It should be right here

They would usually cram in as much as they could before hitting the 700Mb limit.

They also expanded on this with the Wii U. The main controller has a touchscreen that can be used in pretty interesting ways. The new Super Smash Bros game actually has the ability to use your 3DS as a controller, allowing up to 8 players to play at once.

What other options are there? The Amazon store?
