@natejung is SILO dropping in on go or is it weekly? I'll be waiting for the entire season before subbing.
As for what I'm playing, I picked up #LeapYear and #MindOverMagnet last night so I'm going to jump into one of those after taking a few days off any games.
WWHATT?!? One year ago this morning, I awoke and started work at KTVQ in Billings. It's been the fastest year in history, and it's even a leap year! Now, on to year two at Q2!
I guess it’s Olympics time again. And election year here. And leap year. I think that’s a conspiracy that they all fall together each time.
Running a bit behind on my March level for #dungeon24 . Also realizing that I haven't shared my February level with you. One of the fun things about doing #dungeon24 instead of #dungeon23 is that the February level has an extra room in it because of #leapyear .

EDIT: fixed (for now) - thanks to everyone for all the help!
------------------
I guess I'll put this out there since now I've met @guffo who's having the same issue.
My work laptop is Windows 10 and after Leap Day this year, my Teams shows meetings a day ahead for some reason on the calendar, but with the correct date on the meeting itself. Nearly missed a meeting Monday, but luckily since the day itself is correct on the meeting, it notified me and I noticed it. All the meetings still just show on the wrong day - a full day ahead.
Tried restarting Teams, the whole machine, nothing. Can find NOTHING about it online anywhere. Any ideas to fix are welcome, or anyone else dealing with this, or anyone else who wants to talk about how shitty Teams is.

Bissextus: Leap Day is actually February 24, according to historical calendars

"Over the course of centuries, a calendar with no leap years would eventually become totally out of sync with the seasons as we know them."

Can you imagine anything -- ANYTHING -- even remotely more annoying and painful than being on this cruise with these people, listening to their endless, "LOOK AT ME, I'M ONLY 8 YEARS OLD!!! HAHAHA!!! AIYEEEE!!!" etc. ?

A lovely thread on Hacker News on this question:
"Ask HN: Did you encounter any leap year bugs today?"
