Very good write-up of the Manbreaker in Baby Steps, which touches on some of what I've been thinking about the game (FYIs I took the stairs immediately and the moment was no less special for that). aftermath.site/baby-steps-m...

Baby Steps' Manbreaker Did Not Break Me - Aftermath

Baby Steps' Manbreaker is an optional, brutal challenge that is as much a test of your humility as it is your skill.

Finished Baby Steps. 85k steps and "seven hours" (surely longer than that, even discounting the time I left it on pause). Enjoyed watching the end credits more than any end sequence I can remember. I missed so much. I want to play more but I also value my mental health. Incredible game. 7/10

Of course he is!!

Do I know anyone (or anyone who knows anyone) at Cologne Game Lab? Have a friend interested in finding out more and would like to introduce them to someone...

Ste Curran (https://mindset.game 🟨🔺🔵) @stecurran.bsky.social · 4d

If any of you know any journalists interested in this kind of thing please let them know. There's a protest going on right now in Castle Square.

Hey. Kaiteur Kitchen is my favourite place to eat in London, the woman who runs it is the kindest soul, and I don't know WTF is going on here but some people won't be happy until the city is a plastic franchise wonderland.

Also: I'll talk about this on One Life Left on Monday but I think Baby Steps might be one of the best games. I've not played anything this whole since Thumper. It hits what it wants to be so carefully, so hard. I love it and it has made me think a million thoughts about design, detail and craft.

Ste Curran (https://mindset.game 🟨🔺🔵) @stecurran.bsky.social · 5d

Today I've been surprised by the penis content in two pieces of media (Life of a Showgirl and Baby Steps) but only one of them hit me with waves of second-hand embarrassment and it wasn't the one with the donkey dicks.

I didn’t even know he had an album out.

Look, if you’re not interested in Taylor Swift postings, just mute the words. You don’t need to tell everyone you you’re going to have to mute them because you don’t like her/ hate her music.

The same applies to the Archbishop of Canterbury, of course.

I watched the new Naked Gun movie and I thought it was funny! Come at me Bluesky

Ste Curran (https://mindset.game 🟨🔺🔵) @stecurran.bsky.social · 11d

Yeah, that looks cluttered and not in a zone-y Minterish way. Have to play to see but avoided the demo because I can't be trusted to stop playing the demo.

(Rear-touch was nonsense but you can see how it ended up in there with Sony trying to Make It A Thing)

Support independent media, support physical media, support esoteric & interesting projects imo. Support sitting in a café and reading this instead of the five sites you cycle through on your phone. Ugh that sounds really nice actually. One day.

Suds & Soda (music.apple.com/gb/album/sud... ) was a pop cultural awakening for me. What is this? Why does it sound so good AND horrible? Are those words or just syllables? How is this so predictable and also alien!! Hello I want to live here forever now
