Starbound, 10 years later
I recently started playing Starbound again after a hiatus of a few years. For the context, I have a pretty big history with the game, buying one of the old supporter tiers (Pixel Tier, in March 2014) and playing though all the first betas up until the final release and subsequent (rare) updates.
