Sexy Solitaire
Jan. 3rd, 2026 02:57 pmI'm a simple person. I don't play video games. The only concession I have is the basic Solitaire game, I play that pretty often for the mindless stress relief.
Some of you may not know that there is the option to create custom decks. With my old computer, I had a Torchwood (mostly Ianto) deck. For the new one, I created a new one for Miami Vice. Photos can be used for all the face cards. The background is also customizable (in this case it's Sonny sucking on an ice cube). It makes the game more fun.
Yes, Sonny and Jack are the queens. That's just the way it is. 😉
