P15 has crossed the threshold from "uh oh this is a mess" to "wow this is great actually" as of hotfix 6. Unrelated: Here's a video of when I was playing with my dad and for some reason all of my totems were activating on every hit.

I got one telling me that I won a free $150/month subscription to an AI advertisement that they're apparently spamming Mark Zuckerberg with as a selling point.

there's also a roulette wheel on the poker table for some reason the game looks like this. as you can see, it started me with the very normal poker hand of 5 queens

Preview image of holding two poker hands, one which contains ace of spades and ace of hearts but there's a diamond in the middle instead of a heart, and the other hand has three significantly smaller cards that are all face-down but for some reason ace of clubs is printed on the back of one of them.

Looking at some of the featured games. Here's one called Knive Launch That's the entire game right there in the screenshot. Clicking doesn't do anything. The game starts up with the text "KNIFE HIT" and "Tap to Throw" in pulsating yellow letters and that's it that's the whole game.

Clicking "see more" brings me to this page which definitely appears to be sorted by date (even though it's claiming to not be in the search settings) store.steampowered.com/search/?filt...

Okay, Squad, we need to check the Amiga Demo to see if any moon children made it off this rock. Make your way down to the Friend Bay to download the Friend Records. I'll check in with you there.
