You Don't Want to Play Valheim with Greg Anymore

Valheim is an open-world multiplayer survival and sandbox game set in the era of the Vikings. You use natural resources to build your own tools, weapons, and shelters. What could possibly go wrong? Well, you could get killed, but besides that, you might find yourself playing with Greg. 

Greg The Sorcerer saw a need in the Valheim world, and filled it by building a Dollar General Store, complete with bad fluorescent lighting. And you know when one Dollar General pops up, there's always going to be more, so he continued to populate the Viking set with more Dollar General stores. It's a genius trolling strategy, designed to pull other players out of the fantasy world and back to reality. In other words, he is spoiling everything. Twitter, excuse me, X users joined in to suggest a Waffle House, and so Greg The Sorcerer made it happen. And he kept building Dollar General stores. PC Gamer tells the story, and suggests that of any of the businesses go belly up, a Spirit Halloween should replace them. -via Metafilter
