Weekly open thread for 18 July, 2026

Yes, indeed--we've reached another weekend! Hope everybody is doing okay out there, between the heat and the smoke and everything going on with the world. I also hope you all had a chance to play a game or two!

Feel free to talk about any topics you'd like in this thread! Games or not, shmups or not, the floor is open.

It's been a busy week in my neck of the woods, but I've been revisiting the OG R-Type and... wow, I'm rusty! I worry that my memory isn't what it used to be.

How's everybody doing?
