Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JustBeatIt Wanderstop... Which is weird to post about considering the game's theme is relaxation and incomplete-ness. Overall, an enjoyable enough time, but the narrative shows its cards way too early and stretches the premise thin.

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JustBeatIt How Fish are Made. Following Mouthwashing, I checked into the dev's first game. It's probably too short to be a true game, but it did have a trypophobia warning, which I ignored and quickly regretted. 3 out of 5. Time of my life.

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JustBeatIt And Roger. This narrative empathy simulator translates the symptoms and feelings of dementia in such a helpful way. My mother has dementia, and this game has helped me sense what she might be going through. Thank you @kodansha.us and TearyHand.

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JustBeatIt Aperture Desk Job. More an interactive tutorial for the Steam Deck than a true game, but entertaining and witty nonetheless. Valve didn't have to put so much effort into this, but I'm glad they did. And hearing Nate Bargatze was a nice surprise.

I stopped asking what’s ‘correct’ #bouldering beta. This worked better.

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JustBeatIt Öoo. This search action thinker absolutely blew me away. A new favorite. I played Elechead last year, and with Öoo it's confirmed that I'll follow Nama Takahashi anywhere.

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #JustBeatIt Monument Valley 3. Overall, a wonderful blend of vibes and puzzles, but maybe less on the puzzle side than the previous games. Fine for me, but better gamers be warned.

If your #bouldering project feels impossible, there’s a decent chance it’s not your strength, your beta, or your mindset.
Maybe it’s that you didn’t brush the damn holds.

Hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social , I #JustBeatIt Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution. Another Shantae game completed. These games are always good, always surprisingly funny, always charming, and always packed with a great soundtrack. What can I say? Shantae is great.

Selling one opened deck of Beta Break cards 👀
Outer wrap is off, but the inner card pack is still fully sealed.
Only ONE available — and I’m letting it go for an extra-special price.
Perfect if you’ve been curious about the game and want a deal.

I haven't made a long-form #bouldering video in over a year. So, this one is especially exciting. It documents my journey from first attempt to successful send of a very, very hard problem. It took me 9 sessions! youtu.be/FsuzsrCICJQ
