I liked it though, so take that for what its worth.

That reminds me, we're probably due for our semi-regular Starbound/Terraria/Minecraft server around now.

we are. make a thread

I can probably spare the ten quid for a month of hosting, but if so I might wait a week or so until I'm done with all the various university coursework deadlines I have this week and next week.
