My favorite part of SGF was when the Splitgate dude said he wanted to "Make FPS Great Again" and then announced a battle royale mode with Imagine Dragons playing.

We're gonna need a bigger Hague

honestly? #Splitgate2 is pretty cool, although it's definitely a mode you want to play with friends (and not randos). The whole game's pretty fun, it's just so damn frustrating to play because of random disconnects, long matchmaking times, Meridian weapons being absolutely overpowered, 🧵
