I wanted the shirts that weren’t for sale. In other news I’m not ashamed to admit, I’ve started to play some Destiny 2. It’s much like the first one but maybe more confusing to navigate menus. Once...

2020 The Game
Simple side scroller game by Max Garkavyy that covers a good chunk of what 2020 was all about. I favor using the space bar for jump instead of the up arrow, luckily both are options. Doesn’t take more...
