Netflix has launched their own offering of JackBox style party games, so I booted up Boggle Party with my niece to show her how to #JustBeatIt. But after she warmed up, she was hot on my heels!

Enter the Gungeon says I #JustBeatIt. Who am I to argue with the game itself @polykillpodcast.bsky.social? Very surprising that it only took 2-3 minutes. Oh well 🤷♂️

At a glance, Ethan: Meteor Hunter screams "second rate" until you play it & find the devious level designs in this hard but addictive puzzle platformer. It's not one of the greats, but the variety of challenges consistently impressed. I #JustBeatIt so hard my thumbs hurt

I think I may be coming down with something but it's hard to tell.
Being tired and having body aches are no longer usable as identifying symptoms because I feel like that all the time already.

Only though judicious rewinding could I ever #JustBeatIt Super R-type, even on easy, so that's what I did. The near constant slowdown is a blessing; normal speed returning unpredictably is what'll get you. Mostly a remix of concepts from the earlier, better games.Skip it

I booted up Gradius: The Interstellar Assault (GB) on NSO on a lark not knowing I'd #JustBeatIt (albeit w/<10? rewinds), but hot damn it was a blast! My first Gradius beat & a great entry point for shooter non-enthusiasts like me. Seems fully learnable in short order.

While I loved the music, play feel, & vibes of Mind Over Magnet, the puzzles were a bit uneven & the game did feel pretty truncated. I #JustBeatIt & likely will again for the developer's commentary. Plenty good enough, but hoping for a redemption sequel, honestly.

Because we all look similar & walk upright, it's comforting to think of all of humanity as being potentially equal. But the gulf from the abjectly stupid to the merely average is nearly untraversable. Same from average to intelligent.
The idiot & the wise should be considered two different species.

Handshakes is a petite little grid puzzler on Steam & I #JustBeatIt. It's a cute idea & it was well executed, & I'd have never given it, or many other Steam games, a 2nd look had it not been for the Steam Deck. I'm hoping a Steam Machine will open as many possibilities.

Brain Break is fundamentally a take on Sokoban with very few twists & only 20 stages so it lives or dies on level design. Thankfully it delivers on the title. It took nearly 90 minutes to #JustBeatIt. Nothing extreme, just a solid feeling of mild accomplishment!

Carto is an indie coming-of-age adventure centered around an incrementally complexifying puzzle mechanic. Yep, another one of those. To #JustBeatIt was still enjoyable even though the puzzles never became overly taxing. But 100% was still out of my grasp apparently! 😅

I prefer to think of myself as pretty average. But in truth, I'd bet I have more quantifiable aspects that are below average than the few that are likely above average.
