I think I'm running late. I need a pocket watch. Nobody with a pocket
watch ever runs late.

* Astrea: Six Sided Oracles
https://store.epicgames.com/p/astrea-six-sided-oracles-33c949
Another game I'm unfamiliar with... and one I'm unlikely to
ever become familiar with because it includes those dreaded
three words: deck building mechanics. Although this one
differentiates itself by using virtual dice instead of cards.
You're not fooling me, Astrea! Otherwise, it seems fairly typical
for the genre. I guess it's okay, if you like that sort of thing.
I think I'll pass, though.
(This one is a repeat from Dec 2024, so you may already have it)

I don't know if this a good game or not. The reviews are
good, but that doesn't matter to much to me. It's got giant
robots! That said, it's got "autobattler" and "PVP" tags on
Steam. That said, strategy does seem to be an important part
of the game. I don't know if I like the /game/ but I'm thrilled
at any game that lets me stomp fleshies with big robo-feet. ;-)

Two games for the price of one, and that one game is completely free!
What a bargain! But if you buy now, we'll also throw in some 100%
genuine Thursday Facts! Which totally are facts about this Thursday
and not just events that happened on this date! ;-)
The first Black Friday happened 157 years ago, except THAT one was bad
news as gold prices plummet in an attempt to block a scheme to control
the gold market. 100 years ago, Devils Tower became the first
officially recognized National Monument (you may better know it as
that mountain from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"). In 1960, the
USS Enterprise (no, not that one!), the first nuclear-powered aircraft
carrier, launches. And in 1993, "Myst" is released to Macintosh, both reinvigorating and killing the adventure game genre simultaneously.
See you in a week!
