In case you had any doubts Skin Deep is a good game, here's an excerpt from its patch notes.

Also, working on these games was weird/surreal sometimes in a way that didnโ€™t make any sense. Everyone who did probably has some strange story to tell, like that one time I came into the office on the weekend to set up a buggy pre-release build of 4 so big Rock Band fan Seth Rollins could play.

Attempting to revive this was a labor of love by everyone involved, from the massive lift of making sure legacy DLC just worked to bringing new instruments to market. Itโ€™s understandable but sad that this didnโ€™t revive the plastic band phenomenon, but everyone who made this happen should be proud. ๐Ÿ–ค

I wrapped my time Harmonix weeks before Rock Band 4 shipped, but most of the heavy lifting was done, and I was fortunate enough to be a part of it from start to finish.

After I ruined my Ally, I got an OLED Deck and itโ€™s great. I miss being able to play GamePass games and have the flex of Windows, but Iโ€™m happy enough with what I have between the Deck and S2, that $1000 for a thing Iโ€™ll probably drop on the floor of a plane because Iโ€™m a klutz feels rough!

I really want the Xbox Ally X, but Iโ€™m recalling the time I spilled a little water on my Ally and it turned into a paper weight, so Iโ€™m struggling to pull the trigger at $1000. And Iโ€™m absolutely fiscally irresponsible.

Will say I'm excited to get a chance to work with Dale in some capacity again after all of these years. Hard to believe our early games industry journey starting with Destructoid brought us to where we are, and I'm super happy to have brought him on board to score Yarn Owl's Demi. Perfect fit.

Loved it!
