This week feels like one of those rare moments where the entire western hemisphere quietly agreed to stay inside and play video games at the same time. Winter weather hitting the majority of us sent us into cosy vibes, mild chaos, and a shared sense that reality can wait a few moments. We've got community stories, digital comfort food, people discovering old games like they're brand new, and that familiar lie we all tell ourselves: "I'll only play for an hour."There will be news, market numbers, emotional investments in fake economies, and the slow realization that the backlog is not a list, it's a lifestyle.
