I'm without a console right now and only have my laptop with me, so my gaming has been pretty limited so far this year. Getting some Morrowind in, which is always great.

I bought Balatro earlier this week, though, and man . . . it's just an addicting game. It's a kinda deck building roguelite based on poker hands. You just build scores with multipliers based on the strength of your hands, along with some power ups based on pulling Jokers and Tarot cards.

If you're looking for something cheap and fun, I recommend checking it out. If you can manage to not do the whole "just one more run" thing, it's a great way to just kill 15 or 20 minutes, but resisting the one more run is difficult.
