gollark: Can you make it so that *wall* is you instead?
gollark: We can't really decide on Christmas gifts, so we just buy about £10 of games on Steam for each other, when they're on sale.

gollark: I decided to obtain Slay the Spire, which is a cool deckbuilder roguelike thing, in me and <@!332271551481118732>'s yearly game-purchasing ceremony, instead of it.
gollark: Perhaps I should obtain that game.
