Free Weekends, is like free movie tickets for the weekend, but for just a few specific titles.

Annoying once you get hooked, but super fun when there's too many to pick from, between the many free games with gacca mechanics, and a library filled with hundreds of joyful gems.

Thx for keeping up this thread, as it just clicked today how it reminds me of randomly coming across a board showing the movies playing this weekend and at what time.

Gives me nostalgic feelings, and a little extra joy about entertainment is one of the few things that is both better and cheaper now, than it was years ago.

Thanks for the encouragement!

I often feel like a clown when I have to bump my own thread. It's much nicer to reply to supportive comment 9 hours later.

Naw, your bumping helps keep us aware of the new updates. I've not bothered as you are keeping up nicely.
