Finally got my hands on a copy of the Wingspan Americas expansion and it's so much fun. Definitely a brain teaser at the beginning because there are so many moving parts, but the hummingbirds are both powerful and flexible. I even logged a personal best on our second game!
Finished Pokémon Legends: Arceus (to Cresselia we kneel) and defrosted the freezer. And it's still only 10 in the morning! 
My track record of keeping up with social networks is getting worse and worse...
Anyway, I started playing #SakuraWars 2! Happy to hang out with this lovely cast again, even though Soletta's "Italian" accent is killing me.
After a no-fun morning of job hunting, I took a gaming break to reset. It really helped!
I played through I Want To Fly by Raharabin: https://raharabin.itch.io/i-want-to-fly
It's a sweet story about a young woman with social anxiety and ADHD who dreams of flying gliders. Takes about 90 minutes to read through and is just heartwarming.
Also available on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1489810/I_Want_to_Fly/ (Despite the "unknown compatibility" warning, it played just fine on my SteamDeck.)
Halfway through #ValkyrieProfile and so far it's living up the high expectations. First chapter or so was a little touch and go, but once things click into place, they click hard.
Spent an hour on, like, figuring out what to do at the second #ValkyrieProfile boss. It was clear I needed bows but had none and the short bow I supposedly found earlier was gone (broken?). In the end I found the menu option Divine Item allows you to craft gear at a save point. This was exhausting, lol.
I played a little #HollowKnight: #Silksong at my husband's insistence and I like it so far, it brings back memories of playing HK when I actually made progress and discoveries before I got caught in my current "Beat Hollow Knight -> Get wiped out by Radiance" death loop lol. Still a little wary because I've heard so many horror stories about Silksong being a nightmare to play, but in very early days at least it's not unplayably hard or frustrating though a little harder than HK at comparable stages.
I've been practicing the diagonal drop attack because I've heard stories about it being hard to get used to, and I find it a little different but very useful because it's a powerful strike (I beat the first mini-boss with it) and Hornet's needle has a longer reach at the outset than the Vessel's nail. The system is familiar from HK with its own twists, and I look forward to having fun with it for a while. But I still want to kick Radiance's ass and consider myself fully Done with HK before I start Silksong in earnest!! #amPlaying
