I started playing this game in 2024.  I purposely picked Spider Man Miles Morales because it looked cool and was a short game to complete(under 10 hours).  I've been slowly going through it and I think I'm almost done.  These here are a few of my livestreams of gameplay.  As I stream the game, I will update this post. 1st stream June 2024 2nd stream October 2024 3rd stream February 2024 4th stream also February 2024

YouTube version Nintendo, Xbox, Playstation, and Valve publish annual individual gamer statistics, similar to Spotify's year-end 'Wrapped' playlist. It presents which games are played and for how long—also activity by month. These are my numbers. On Xbox, I played 35 hours and 40 games, 20 of those hours mainly on the cloud(using the Logitech G-Cloud). I earned 38 achievements and increased my Gamerscore by over 700 points. My most played games were Rollerdrome, Katana Zero, and The Callisto Protocol.   Rollerdrome gave me Tony Hawk Pro Skater vibes from back in the day. I remember spending hours on that game. Except in Rollerdrome, opponents are trying to end you and you in return. My busiest month was June. Katana Zero.  All screenshots in this article I've taken during gameplay. Moving on to the Playstation, I played 33 games for 31 hours—earning 36 trophies, mostly Bronze. March was my busiest month.  My top three games were Spider-Man Miles Morales, Final Fantasy 7...

  I enjoy Lo-fi beats. Playing it in the background when company visits always sets a pleasant mood. Inspired to assemble something similar to those vibes, I assembled this beat using the Remixlive app. This is the app I've been using plenty as of late. It's a quick way to put music together for the content I'm creating. I used GarageBand on the iPad for years and will continue doing so, but Remixlive has put that on the back burner for a bit.   I made the visualizers using Canva. Here's a link to Remixlive.

  The Wild at Heart was the one game I completed start to finish in 2024.  It's also the first game I've ever completed while streaming live.   Click here you to find out more about the game and the story.   A charming, indie game which got its hooks in me and I wanted to see it to the end.  It was my favorite game of 2024.

  YouTube version In the past, I've done videos where I discussed 'My Biggest Takeaways' from a particular book I've read, a podcast I've listened to, or a video I've watched. That's morphed into 'My Favorite Quotes.' Starting in 2025, I have the latest in that series with John C. Maxwell's 'The Difference Maker.' John C. Maxwell has written over 100 books(I counted the books in his bibliography on Wikipedia), and several have been on the New York Times Bestseller list. The books are usually based on leadership and self-help. 'The Difference Maker' was published in 2006.   During the pandemic, I found the book in a donation bin in my town.  It was a short read, and I found it  basic . I regularly consume self-help content, so the concepts weren't anything new. But the book had great reinforcement lessons based on what I've learned  over the years .    I will present the quote and page number in the physical book and share ...

YouTube video I discovered food dehydration when I moved into my first apartment years ago. This method of food prep was one of the many things I was excited to try with this newfound freedom of living alone. Kayaking, buying a solar panel for my window, and building a bicycle trailer were several other goals at the time. Why dehydration? It's a method of preserving food so it does not go bad in the fridge, and helps save money.  During that time I'd come to use two different dehydrators, but I wasn't crazy about them. Once, I tried making jerky in an Excalibur machine and got sick. My fault, no doubt. I gave the appliance to a friend thereafter. The second Nesco dehydrator worked fine, but I found it took up too much space and wasn't using it much, so I sold it on eBay. This happened 10-15 years ago. The interest popped up again in 2024.   This time, I bought a nicer dehydrator. Since then, it's been getting plenty of use.   I dehydrate lots of kale. I mix it with ...
