Game of the Week #4: Ad Infinitum
Purchase Date: 11/20/23
A WW1 horror game? Yeah, that's something I'd be interested in. Took me long enough to get around to it.

Game of the Week #3: Fort Solis
Purchase date: March 11, 2025
Didn't know about this one when I got it but, hey, Mars right? Have I mentioned that I like anything that happens on Mars? Might be because I like The Martian so much. So....Mars. Yup. Works for me.

Game of the Week #2 (last week was #1): Pacific Drive
Purchase Date: 11/20/24
One of the first games in my "pile" that I'm actually playing on PS+ streaming. Yes, I kept this so long it was available on one of the services I pay for. Quite a few games in my collection fall into that group.

Since AC6 was a bust, I decided to check out #Exit8. Part P.T., part "One of these things is not like the other", it was a very simple game that was nearly impossible to stop playing until I got all the way through. Did need FAQ help but one part was in a color I could not see, so fair?

Game of the Week update: In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have gotten AC6 in the first place. I usually don't do well with From Software games. Could not take out the first boss. Seriously, a flying gunship vs a single mech?? So, it's up on eBay already.

Started 2025 by posting how many games I had on Amazon, Epic and GOG. Here is the 2026 update:
Twitch/Amazon/Luna: 529 to 553
Epic: 533 to 644
GOG: 276 to 395
So that's 254 new games over these services. (It's a little hard to say who gave what since Amazon gives codes for Epic and GOG.)

GICP (Games I'm Currently Playing) Update:
Finished #TheInvincible today. Basically a science fiction story told through a walking simulator. Was just interesting enough to keep me going until the end...which was REALLY good! Going to feel this one for a long time.

The Toyota Theorem - The amount of electronic devices you bring to keep yourself entertained during your service appointment is inversely proportional to the length of time you will have to wait before your car is done.
Trust me on the math.

According to my calendar, today is the 3rd anniversary of me seriously getting into #LEGO building. It all started with a cheap LEGO Star Wars AT-ST (75254) and these are some of my latest builds...along with JUST PART of my backlog.

I've gotten this game before on other platforms but never played it. Tried it yesterday and WOW! It is so much like a mini Starflight game. Brings back some great memories. And plays very well on a phone, something I usually don't do.

Finally got a good shot of my envoy from #Avowed . Good game, btw. (I purposely didn't make my envoy too "weird". Just wasn't ready for that lol.)

After several unproductive weeks on Kick, I'm moving my streaming show back to Twitch for what I feel will be an equally unproductive engagement. If this keeps up, I'll be back on Twitter again....Nah!
