It’s the right choice in my opinion. Rather than spend another few years working on the new engine and possibly going into development hell again, they’re going to move back to the old engine and release the game straight into early access to gain some momentum and progress

196 is an older subreddit that has no rules except one: you have to post an image before leaving. A lot of posts are titled “rule” as in they’re following the rule by posting something.

Obviously it’s more of a joke than a serious rule, so it’s quickly devolved into a place for random assortments of memes and weird images.
