"Game with Balls" looks like it'd be a genuinely interesting experience, uses the gyro-whatever of the Steam Deck for controls. Someone with a Steam Deck let me know how it is so I can live vicariously through you 🤣

Normally I wait to the end of Next Fest to post my finds, but please go try RITA if you like puzzle games. It starts out simple to ease you in, but I imagine the full game will have some head scratchers🥰

Oh god, it's even worse when I go to the "For You" tab. Steam really do be like "SO I HEARD YOU LIKE SOLITAIRE?!" 🤣

Okay, but this one is super cute though, so I can't be totally mad at the algorithm

Dangit, I recently bought a few solitaire games to DEFINITELY NOT PLAY AT WORK and now that's all Steam is recommending for me for Next Fest. I played myself 🤣

As promised, cookies made with Tricky Cricky Cricket Cookie Mix! The flour sure is... cricketful! I swear, they're waaaaaaay more appetizing than they look, I just... don't know how to keep the dough from spreading. Maybe I should make them in cupcake trays🤣

Some of y'all don't know what peak gameplay looks like and it really shows. Go to hotel, pet cat. Lies of P: Overture, 10/10, game of the year, I will accept no counter-arguments.

Just came back from watching Primitive War and it was an absolute blast, so glad I saw it on the big screen instead of waiting for streaming! They did such a good job on the dinosaurs, A+, 10 out of 10, no notes. Please see my artistic rendering of my experience 🤣

The demo for The Lonesome Guild was so good! Winsome has joined the Lonesomes! 🥰

If y'all like your Kingsfield to be neon-lit, give this demo for Does the Moon Dream a shot! I had a grand old time (even though it took me an embarrassingly long time to get past that one blocking section in the demo...) 🤣
