In a recent blog post, Zukowski highlights a Steam feature that impressed me last year and which I've used regularly ever since: Personal Calendars.

Because the personal calendar is more tightly curated and personalized, Steam users are more likely to click with, and indeed click on, the games it shows them, whereas the Popular Upcoming feed was more of a shotgun blast of disparate games.

There.

    Reviews like this make the blood, sweat and tears working on this adventure game while being an underpaid social worker in the US ghetto worth it. And yeah, let's make cyberpunk PUNK again! store.steampowered.com/app/673 #cyberpunk #indiegame #indiedev #SteamDeals

    ![

    Holy 90s adventure revival, Batman. Neofeud is a non stop feast of deja vues of interesting but arguably worse games from the 90s like Noctropolis, Harvester or | Have No Mouth and | Have To Scream, done mainly by a (arguably very very intelligent) guy that is from Hawaii and works as a robotics teacher in a probably difficult place - meaning, what you see in the game are things that probably he has been living there. The best part though is how he mixes all the 90s. “cd rom multimedia" cyberpunk aesthetic and how he runs with it all along. And the game is very well written, very fair (for the moment at least) and has atmosphere in spades.

    Maybe if the references are nothing to you, you will not be able to enjoy it. But that's part of it. Neofeud is a game about empathy, about humanity, about fighting the oppressor, which is. what Cyberpunk was about until it was washed out to be the bland neon aesthetic of today. | love it, | love the author, and | hope to see many things from him.

    @gamingonlinux "The developer mentioned clearly that no generative AI has been used for it," damn, I really thought it was used when I've seen a glimpse of the image.

    I have never used Epic but the list makes it sound like you can play the games offline (which still isn't owning?), maybe you can't do this with Steam and that's why the article doesn't include it?

    @gamingonlinux I don't mind evolution of words. I mind dilution to the point of meaninglessness.If Moria and Balatro are in the same genre, then that genre label has no meaning. It just means "a game". It's no longer a useful distinction. So you can just leave it out of the description of both games and be exactly as informed as if you had included it.I don't care if words evolve. I care that they have a meaning at all.

    @gamingonlinux please, for the love of words having actual meaning and being useful for communication, I beg you:Stop calling everything with random elements a "roguelike".This is not a roguelike. Balatro isn't a roguelike. Slay the Spire isn't a roguelike.In order to be a roguelike, and I can't believe I have to say this, the game must in some way RESEMBLE THE GAME ROGUE.
