New weekend, new open thread! A place to talk about anything, regardless of topic! But of course feel free to talk about games and such!
I picked up a couple of games from the Steam Bullet Fest, but I haven't had time to play them 😭 ! ( Metaloid : Origin, IRA, and Strania - The Stella Machina.) I hope I get some time this weekend, but we'll see.
What are y'all up to? Any new pickups?
I resisted the urge to spend this week. It seemed like every day a game on my wishlist was on sale on the eshop. I have a birthday coming up, so that self-control might disappear.
