We are in the golden age of SS13

[MoonJesus]

Seriously, lets take a second to appreciate what we have right now.

• 80-90 players at any given time
  
• Fluid, lag-free movement and interaction
  
• A myriad of hilarious, wonky, an interesting features to play with, that all have synergies with each other (Matsci & the TEG now for example)
  
• A strong community that understands how to put fun first
  
• Beautiful & clean sprites
  
• Lighting with actual shadows
  
• MAP ROTATIONS!!!!!
  
• A stable and continuously evolving code-base with the means for players/community members to contribute at will
  

Man let me tell you, back in 2010 the future did not look this bright for SS13. We crawled out of a poop-smeared gutter into something so fabulous. Even when all the incredible things started to emerge (Chem as we know it today, Telesci adventures, etc...) there was a period (still not all that long ago) where goon was basically 'dead', and a high-pop round consisted of 40 players, while an average round was closer to 20-30. Now 40 is considered lowpop.

We're all gamers, right? We all have those games that stay near and dear to our hearts. No matter how old we get, how much time goes by, etc... we always come back to that specific game. For me, that game is SS13. There is no other game like it. I just want to thank everybody involved over the years who made this game what it is today. We are truly in a golden age of it ya'll. Remember these days. Post what else you LOVE about the current state of Goonstation
