I've been spending my downtime watching YT vids of my favorite games.

I've been especially hooked on "Cities:Skylines" lately, it's actually been my favorite over the past year since it's given me inspiration on how to play once I'm able to get back home on my regular computer and into it again.

Kinda weird since I used to watch Twitch a lot, and enjoyed live streams of games like "Hearthstone" or "Don't Starve". Now I don't really like Twitch at all. I want the shorter video captures instead of the ongoing live experience.

As more people make it their jobs, Live-streams increasingly take up waay too much time, and many don't bother to edit them down(to show highlights) afterward for quicker consumption and gratification. It's harder for me to get into them for that reason.

Don't Starve is great as a multiplayer game(Don't Starve Together), so maybe consider that as well.

I read that Skylines is still the best modern city sim available now. I should just get it already instead of forever playing the Frugality Game™ and waiting for a really low price. Have you played any other city sims, like the Simcity series?

    Nice, you caught the sale! If you didn't purchase DLC, I would highly recommend:

    *Parklife
    *Industries
    *Mass Transit

    Really though, any and all the DLCs are great and add a lot to the game. Even the content creator packs are awesome, and a cheap way to support modders who added significant unique content to the base game. The only DLC I haven't bought are the radio stations, because I don't care to spend $4 on random music I'm not listening to.

    Thanks; I'll check those DLCs out when I can.
