Hamilton Police reported a strange incident that happened around 9 p.m. on November 11th. A man reportedly entered an empty HSR bus at the McNab Bus Terminal while the driver was on a break.

As one Reddit user put it, “People are just more laid-back when you’re playing solo.” You can find these achievement percentages publicly on Steam, even without owning the game.
