#Today my SO and I put a flood abatement system into our basement. It looks good, works great, and I have blisters on my fingers from squeezing a caulk gun eleventy billion times! Ow.
Beaver Basement in case anyone is looking for one :-)
I'm not one for "New Year's resolutions", but I am one for overly ambitious projects.
For 2023, Project365 is "One New Game Per Day".
Given that I have 634 unplayed games in my Steam account and {mumble} unredeemed bundle Steam keys, there's a reason my unplayed collection is tagged "Pile of Shame".
I'll pin this to my profile, and give a brief summary here each day (or x, if I miss x days due to work or stuff).
I'll play 15-30 minutes of (at least) one new game I've never played before (or played less than 15 minutes of). I'll give every game at least 15 minutes, even if I hate every minute of it.
I'm also open to suggestions; if you reply to this thread with a game, I'll schedule it, or tell you what I thought of it.
One of the things that's come up is that I have a bunch of games that I've played once, and not touched again.

In both cases, the protagonist turns to drugs as a way to make money; in Basement, it's weed instead of meth, by way of Fallout Shelter or Mr. Prepper.
Much like Mr. Prepper, Basement is not really my thing; I just found it:
