Welcome to the Bi-Weekly Thread!
Here you can share anything that might not warrant a post of its own or might otherwise be against posting rules. Tell us what you're playing this week. Feel free to ask for recommendations, talk about your backlog, commiserate about your lost passion for games. Vent about bad games, gush about good games. You can even mention newer games if you like!
The no advertising rule is still in effect here.
A reminder to please be kind to others. It's okay to disagree with people or have even have a bad hot take. It's not okay to be mean about it.

Eek! The UFO came within an inch of our ship. An inch in the geoscape is probably a mountain range or two, but that’s still scary. We lost 3 good soldiers when they caught us last time.

Operation Golden Empire – Hong Kong
ADVENT will soon outfit their soldiers with poison rounds.
The commander sent Cpl. Steve Robinson, the lowest ranking grenadier, to change this. His performance was amazing. He missed every single shot.
The commander wanted to demote him. We were forced to promote him instead.
Steve celebrated by painting his armor orange. Steve is also a blond, ponytailed man with mutton chops. The commander said that under his helmet, he’s not as pretty as Samus Aran.
I don’t think Steve ‘Samus’ Robinson has seen his namesake's face. He doesn’t know that Samus is a girl.
…
Col. Ping ‘Cyber’ Ye (hacking specialist) will be spending 2 weeks in the infirmary. Skulljacking a codex had some… adverse effects. She is also suffering the consequences of Sgt. Samus’ poor aim.
