2026 is the year of buying used records, CDs, and loading up indie game soundtracks from Steam onto my new mp3 player 😮‍💨 I love that it’s not a touch screen and there are actual buttons I can press!

I'm thankful for the friends that got me steam games. This is first Christmas that I didn't get a game from any of my family so being gifted those games really meant a lot. Thank you.
