Switch thoughts, 12 games later.

Posted on June 10, 2023 by baudattitude

It’s safe to say that I’ve gotten more use out of my Switch recently than usual.  I just wrapped up my 12th game in a row with Qureate’s Prison Princess, an escape-the-room sort of puzzle adventure game with cute girls … Continue reading →
