You’re right. People don’t use the system properly, but that’s how a lot of people do it is what I was saying. I can see how that would grind your gears (pun somewhat intended) as a machinist, since specs and tolerances are especially important in your line of work as I understand it

It looks like they average the daily load for each month. There is only one data point per month. So each January has a lower average daily load than the previous December.

I hadn’t played since Civ 3 until I saw this one in the Netflix apps. So steam link is a no go for me. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the Netflix game. Still would not recommend getting a subscription to them just for games tho
