"I used to build airports and transit hubs. Lots of subways and train stations. Actually, you name it and I've probably built it. Even skyscrapers, storefronts, houses, apartments, condos. Cities: Skylines is pretty awesome. Logged over 10,000 hours."

It's a joking video game reference to a game called Cities: Skylines which is basically like a next-gen SimCity.

Totally worth the $30

I've never used any of the paid DLC stuff. I might at some point, but it's certainly not required by any means.

Lots of totally free mods, though.

Edit to add: The paid DLCs add new mechanics to the base game and are basically the same as old school expansion packs were for offline games. It's not like that lootbox bullshit or anything scammy. Also, these DLCs are ongoing development. Game's been out since like 2015 and they just release a new DLC last month.

Also, I'll add that I am not affiliated with Colossal Order (developer) or Paradox Interactive (publisher) and this is not a paid advertisement. I just really like the game, just not enough to pay for DLC.

A bunch of the DLC are just radio and custom building little DLC. I think there are a total of 12 legitimate expansions, but none of them are necessary to enjoy the game and it has thousands of quality mods available for free.

They go on sale all the time. I got the base game plus all expansions at the time for like $50

Same. This is a game that'd benefit from a pirated copy going around for free. If I got to try it, and knew I really liked it like I think I would, I'd probably buy it...but for now, I have other games I've bought and haven't really played so I'm going to stick to those

Bring back the 90s where we had weekly magazines with game demos on discs for PlayStation!

Game demos were the shit. Getting a new system with just a game demo disc was def not tho. At least once I got a system with a demo disc and then a gift card to buy my first game... But everything is closed on Christmas (!!!) so I'd just play the hell out of the demos all day lol. I think it was my first playstation.

The resident evil demo put enough fear in to me for me to never play the entire series... I was a kid though!

I mean I built the network (and most of the app / server infrastructure) for one of the local international air terminals...

It's not that uncommon to find someone who worked on them. There's a lot of stuff to do.
