They’ve made a few changes to the Whisker Squadron Survivor Demo! I got to try out the new drone powerup, it gives you a drone that shoots a rocket every 10 seconds. They also added a barrel roll shield and added a new enemy.
Looking forward to the full thing!
I gave Sayonara Wild Hearts a full playthrough. It only takes about an hour to play, and it’s pretty easy (unless you’re going achievement hunting, that will add on a little extra replay value). The game features a kickin’ soundtrack that becomes easy to lose myself in. You start out skateboarding, then surfing on a tarot card, and eventually you’re sword fighting, riding motorcycles and shooting lasers. In a small amount of time you can do so much!
Afterwards I decided to revisit the Whisker Squadron Survivor Demo that I picked up during the last NextFest. They’ve been pushing regular updates to the game, adding in new features. I spotted some new powerups and a different enemy. All good things to discuss in a future post! 😛
Tonight was a bit of a self care night. Extra private spa care, a new tea to drink, aromatherapy, etc. I made a shopping list for tomorrow, it’s my weekend and I’m loading up on the good stuff. Lots of fruits for a healthy weekend. I tried a little bit of Sayonara Wild Hearts, totally adding it to my Deck.
I’ll be back to talk more on that later, after some sleep and a few more rounds.
My mind is drawing up blanks tonight. I knocked out a little more animation, and fondled my Steam Deck for awhile. Drank some spicy pepper chai, it had a good kick to it. Work went ok, can’t complain.

Finished the 2nd Episode of Jazz Jackrabbit! Now I’ve moved onto Episode 3: Rabbit’s Revenge. Loving the soundtrack in each episode so far.
Just had time for one Crash 4 level, which feels more like two levels in one tbh. I’m still getting used to double jumping, rail sliding and some of the other game mechanics. It introduces a fun little challenge!
Played more BloodRayne 2 in between Desktop and Steam Deck today, it was just too nice to do all my gaming indoors. I destroyed the Shroud Tower, and I sacrificed a bunch of vampires to a sacred helicopter.
I’ve ground away at it enough that I’ll probably visit some other games before returning to it – most likely something silly, and possibly modded. 😛
Made quite a bit of progress in BloodRayne 2! This game is as fun as it is buggy. Managed to get some fun film as well for a potential future video!
Figured out how to get mods to work! Modding newer unreal engine games is surprisingly easy when the game allows for it. I decided to make it a Girls Night Out! I’ll be transferring a small collection I’m accumulating over to my Steam Deck, and maybe the TV.
Keeping it chill tonight. I got a little more animating done, despite feeling a bit under the weather. Been feeling a little dizzy on and off throughout the day. My body has been telling me to climb into bed – think I might finally grant it that wish.
