Sometimes your algo looks nice.

Secret Level - anthology series based on games mostly done with CGI like Love Death + Robots (same head writer/producer Tim Miller). Some really stand out episodes all pretty straightforward but just really cool and well done.

Kyle T Webster joins Procreate - as a fan of Procreate this is huge news. If you've ever using digital brushes, you've probably heard of Kyle T Webster. He spearheaded Fresco for Adobe into a really rich app with tons of amazing features and brushes. Kyle made it pretty public in leaving Adobe once they announced their position in using AI in their apps and services. Really looking forward to what he brings to Procreate as there are definitely features in Fresco that I adore. You can tell from looking at Kyle's Tumblr that he's also excited about what Procreate has to offer.

Best Power Bank for Steam Deck - I unfortunately spilled water on and broke the power bank that we used for travel (Anker 737), it was a bit bigger, but I really liked the display on how much draw and input it was going through the device. Ended up using this list to get a replacement and bought this one (Anker). It doesn't have the info display, but it's a lot more ergonomic and can tuck in your bags a bit easier. It also has a connected USB-C port that you can use to charge other items or charge the power bank itself. Also works nicely on the Steam Deck and other portable game consoles. If you want to go with another brand for your Steam Deck just make sure it has at least a 45W output, otherwise the Steam Deck will say "your Steam Deck is connected to a slow charger."

EDJY Fingernail Cutter - I sent this out as a present several times in 2024. I used it late last year after seeing a TikTok about it and I was completely sold after using it. I gave one to my kids, sent it to family and kept a couple for myself. It comes with a nice little hard case to tuck it away nicely, it cuts amazingly well and it doesn't shoot out your nail clippings so you can't find it. It also cuts your nails in a way where it doesn't leave a frayed edge so you don't have to file it afterwards. 5/5 product for me and borders on a product having quintessence.
Universal Helios Grand Hotel - possible place for a stay when visiting Universal Studios Epic Universe. Expensive but has great access to the parks and would be a treat for the entire family.
Universal Stella Nova - another option slightly cheaper.
Best Sokoban Games - been into sokoban games lately. This is a good list of some of the classic as well as new ones like Baba is You.
