Hello and thank you for joining us once again. It is the Nightly Pleasures podcast. I'm your host and the author of the piece you're about to hear today at the Great Night. You can call me Jack. Hi. How you doing? A little bit of a personal kind of ramble today. And it's about you. It doesn't matter if you're a new fan or a long-term fan.

This one is inspired by you. I'm coming to you today with a little bit of a

hat in hand. No apologies will be given because come on, have you met me? But instead of just

happening. And one service I absolutely love is the Humble Store. As soon as I could sign up for

that one, I did. And it has given me so many hours of greater entertainment for such a little

dollar amount. Absolutely love my humble

bundle subscription every month. Look forward to it every month. There's always something in there.

But because it is a bundle and because there's a lot of game shoveled in for the monthly

price, you don't play them all. Well, no games I wanted were on sale recently. Not one or two were on sale a little bit. I mean zero were on sale, 0%. 100%. Zero on sale, 0%? Zero were on sale. All were 100% the normal cost. And I'm like, come on. So I look through all the, you know, just the deals of the game's not on my wish list and what have you. And I go through those. And
