I feel confident I will make it to NY in time for No Quarter this Saturday - but I am not as confident for my luggage which I imagine is lost deep in the bowels of DFW.
So please, no comments on my new and extensive Longhorns & “Don’t Mess with Texas” wardrobe.

The most beautiful thing I’ve seen in all of China… a man sat by the water’s edge on the quiet streets of a fishing village, the late autumn sun sat low in cold a blue sky as he attentively dries a little fluffy black & white puppy with a hair drier.
We looked at each other & laughed.

A really great thread of unusual 2025 releases. It's sort of terrifying that despite talking to people and reading about games every day, and most of these games being the exact kind of thing I look for/share/discuss, I have heard of maybe four of the games in this thread. Game discovery, man.
There's a round of GOTY discussion going around, and I realized that a lot of my favourite games this year have been absolute Sicko Picks.
So here's a few games I've loved so far in 2025, starting with a mild one: Babushka's Glitch Dungeon. A scrunkly lil' puzzle-metroidvania with so many fun verbs

First night back at Morris practice after a month of travels.
Proud that my brain found the capacity to relearn everything I’d forgotten these past few weeks as well as 2/3 of a new dance.
Also happy to be reunited with the fancy sticks* (*bobbins)
