Actually I am not sure it makes top 20.

Gigantic patch, tons of funny and weird stuff. Lets do this one as a tiny example, noting that I am not sure it makes top 10 of the changes:

It looked very thin on the ground last it came up, but I too am kind of in a "eh, if other people go I'll drop by" state of mind.

And now migrated to a slightly larger box! In the interest of box consolidation mostly

In the process I have managed to change the emoji into their android blob variants somehow, not sure why. It is not very surprising however, as just about every fragment of software involved has changed in the process.

(Of course to a great extent because I've been on Game Pass for just about anything single-player.)

Exciting end of year summary from Steam:

Playing Pentiment, pretty nice little adventure game by Obsidian. Game Pass is great for these kinds of games, I am also more of the way through Return to Monkey Island and enjoying it a lot, but I know these are very hit or miss with me, so had I had to buy them I probably wouldn't have bothered.

This is looking ever more likely for one unfortunate reason though: the summer lan weekend might be impossible for me.

Very much weighing it, the timing is not awful, and to be entirely honest a slightly less busy lan might be better for a comeback.

Still, probably a bit worse than a 50/50.

Been weirdly quiet on Steam for a bit, figure we'll want a full party to give it its best chance. All this weekend is relaxed for me though!
