Body dysmorphia is weird.
I Put on jeans that are way too big now that I bought 3 years ago. I feel GREAT!
Then I put on a shirt (where I carry most of my weight) and feel like I'm lumpy and fat. It happens and I know I look fine, but the little voices win sometimes, if only for a minute.

I think the Xbox handheld looks pretty cool, but the price ain't it. Please, Valve, let's see a Steam Deck 2!

YouTube premium is the best service I pay for, they made their ads so annoying I'm so glad I never have to see them. (Got my ass)

Trying out some Next Fest demos, and the first one was Skate Story! This game jumps out in trailers due to the visuals, and I'm happy to say it's a blast to play. Zooming through the levels is a thrill, and even the most basic tricks feel impactful to land. Looking forward to the full release.

Main menu screen for the Skate Story demo. What appears to be a city or series of crystals is in the background, colored by prismatic greens, reds and blues. A glowing crystal skateboard sits in the center of the screen.

Screenshot from Skate Story. An ethereal character stands looking at the moon, surrounded by jagged red crystals. Text says "this demon was going to eat the moon"

Screenshot from Skate Story. The skater is kicking a skateboard and moving toward a row of glowing red fire and a doorway behind it.

My left thumb is sore, I thought it was work but then I remember I played like 12 hours of Baby Steps in the past 3-4 days...

Baby Steps is absolutely brilliant.

Every step is one step away from a set back, but choosing to get back up and continue on in spite of it all, that's what counts.

The best this genre has to offer.
Fair but brutally challenging.

And, it's hilarious.

There's so many games right now. I find it helps to focus on one or a couple and not let the influx of new titles overwhelm me. Be that as it may, I still want to support everybody that I can.

On Monday, Yacht Club Games delayed the much-anticipated upcoming game Mina the Hollower.

On Tuesday, I visited their studio and saw the game. It made for a rare glimpse at why a video game gets delayed and what "polish" actually means.

Why 'Mina the Hollower' Was Delayed

Yacht Club Games hasn't given a new release date, but the delay shouldn’t be more than a few months
