Hey all!

Figured we’d try something like this. Let me know what you all think, and if you have any feedback on what you would like a weekly thread like this to look like. Thanks

What are you all playing? Anything you got from the steam sale you’re enjoying?

I've been playing through Powerwash Simulator on Gamepass recently, among other things. The game has just enough going on to keep you engaged while also being super zen (until you're trying to find those last 6 things that are only 99% clean agggghhhhhhh). Progress goes at what seems like the perfect rate, you're never spending long cleaning an individual item, yet there's so much to clean that you get a pretty good sense of accomplishment from finally finishing a map.

It's pretty good for playing in the background too during useless wfh meetings while being able to stay fairly attentive

Honestly it's ADHD heroin. Every little 'ding' you get when you finish an item is a dopamine hit, and some jobs feel overwhelming at first but as you get started and work your way up structures, you start making a plan to hash out certain parts and go from bit to bit until suddenly, it's all clean.

Just make sure to turn down the water noise, because it's definitely hard to hear anything over PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
