Balatro
Played for an hour-and-a-half today. Has it finally clicked? Eh, I wouldn't go that far, but I didn't have anything else I felt like doing and multiple runs are good for filling out my card collection.

Took me less than five minutes to finish this today, once I spotted the (too subtle, in my opinion) clue for how to get past the puzzle I was stuck on — which turned out to be the final puzzle.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
A handful of 4K titles this week, including an upgrade from regular Blu-ray for Speed Racer. Plus, a 2-disc Hammer box set which is 100% special features (including one short film, so it crops up there, at least).
Number of titles in collection: 3,700 [up 3]
Of which DVDs: 964 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,736 [up 3]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 532 [up 3]
Number of discs in collection: 8,868 [up 6]
Number of films: 4,754 [up 2]
Number of additional cuts: 496 [up 1]
Number of TV episodes: 10,123 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,297 [up 1]
See you next week, faithful reader.

Played my most successful run yet. Still feel like I'm muddling through rather than really knowing what I'm doing, but when the right cards come up and synergies click, it is moderately satisfying. Got defeated at the end of Ante 6 (of 8) and that took almost an hour, so still the idea of this being a "one more quick run" game is ludicrous to me.
The Sphere
I'm pretty good at point-and-click adventure games — I've been playing them most of my life. This one came out today, free, billed as a 20–30 minute experience. After an hour of playtime (some of which was spent faffing with Steam Deck controls to make them palatable, to be fair), I'm still stumped by one puzzle; and I only got past the first "puzzle" because I happened to see a solution on Reddit. It looks pretty, at least.
