Right?! The days just before and after the first of the month are usually fertile, but yes the least few days seem to be extra special. Releases like this are my favorite--it's not a game that I tend to think about despite its quality, so when there's a release I'm like "Oh yea! I forgot about this game!!" And then I play it and ask myself, "Ahy am I not a patron?" Then I remember how much I'm already pledging each month and it's kind of agonizing trying to figure out whether to cancel a pledge or reduce a pledge to make room for a new favorite.
Damn you cognitive dissonance!!!!
