Oh definitely, I think a hypothetical button/system would be better an optional experiment rather a full-fledged tool. I imagine the vast majority of folks have no interest in seeing games completely outside of what they usually play/purchase/etc. (What Wok shared earlier about SteamDB is interesting and I think it could indirectly back up this point). I just think it would just be interesting to see folks interact with such a purposefully "bad" system and what could be learned (Who opted to try the "bad" system; Did they actually wishlist/follow/buy something recommended; etc.). The topic of "algorithms" has increasingly become a point of contention for folks, but I think some of the disdain is misplaced, or at least, unexamined. Having some experiments could be interesting to kickstart the discussion a different direction than what it has been trending the past few years.
Also I do agree, I think developers and/or publishers can sometimes have a large ask of platforms to advertise their products in a way that checks all the boxes they want checked.
I actually picked this up a bit ago, but lost my desk setup to play it until recently. Do you think it feels really early access and/or is it better to wait a bit for updates before hopping in?
Happy Birthday America
By the way this was a real thing.
The world is a crazy place.

Bought Valheim couple days a go and already clocked 13hrs in it.
I rarely buy Early Access games but I gotta admit this one is legit. Really well designed and ambitious asf.
Its basically The Forest but a lot less tedious and more adventurous + fun + relaxing. And yet still challenging with some good bosses/enemies. Kind of the dream survival game with neat Viking setting. Love the art style too. Its like some low rez and/or unfinished pixelated mesh. Things in the distance look beautiful with blur.
I see why the game blew up so big early in the year. Well deserved.

Was listening to some FFXIV music before going to sleep last night. When an add for The World Ends With You ad. No EGS logo that I could see, although could have been hidden by the skip ad button, which would be hilarious
looking further into it, I didn’t even realise that the game releases later on PC. So another case of the EGS money being well spent and helping pc developers.
it amazes me to this day that EGS seems to actively hinder discoverability.

King's Bounty II - So, what does Nostria sound like? - Steam News
From Russia and the US with love! The world premiere of Greflet’s song from our official soundtrack! Alina Gingertail and her magic voice & Raney Shockne's music and lyrics… Enjoy! King's Bounty II is coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC on August 24th, 2021. Pre-order now!
Direct Link:
The list would be waaaaaay longer if you include JRPG. In fact I would say there are too many RPGs coming soon.
I bought that one game you play entirely through blinking. Sounded pretty cool.
Someone on Era noticed that there is mod to improve AC2 LOD so i tried it and then added RTGI on top of it XD

This kind of sneaked up on me but I ended up watching a documentary on MOHAA and the soundtrack is really, really better than I recalled. [UWSL]Michael Giacchino[/UWSL] was an amazing find, especially when you consider the rest of his career.
Considering to pick up some more titles, but the july lineup is really nice so not sure. My eyes are on Death's Door, Last Stop, The Ascent, Cris Tales, Tribes of Midgard, Fuga: Melodies of Steel and Boomerang X atm.

yup, it's GREAT ... highly-recommended
Oh dear, time for a Sunday Confession.
I just looked at my "[UWSL]Wall of Shame v1[/UWSL]" on Steam which is the list of things i've [UWSL]purchased from Steam[/UWSL] itself and i went a bit mad in June it seems. Though a lot of these games were cheap-as-chips so it's a lot better than it looks. It's also confirmed that i am continuing my trend of not being a mainstream AAA Console Focused gamer as many of these games wouldn't even get a look-in on some sites. Which is nice.
[UWSL]I then looked at my [/UWSL][UWSL]"Wall of Shame v2"[/UWSL][UWSL] which is the list of [/UWSL][UWSL]Key Activations [/UWSL][UWSL]which is stuff i bought outside Steam and old Bundle Keys etc and i added a bunch of old game keys to my account last month too. I must have been having a purge of my bundle store accounts.[/UWSL]
Also about [UWSL]30+ games in the GOG Summer Sale[/UWSL] but most of those were dirt-cheap and mainly games i know i'll play for an evening for nostalgia's sake.
... and a number of VNs from Non-Steam stores which have also been having insane sales lately and they're DRM free.
I've got my eye on [UWSL]Scarlet Nexus[/UWSL] but if i get it it'll be the last "big" purchase i make for a few months.

Those are cRPGs and mostly on PC so they don't count for the people complaining, which I find absolutely hilarious since PC cRPGs are THE RPGs, the fathers of the entire RPG genre. As someone who adores turn-based cRPGs I have this to say:
Yup! Though a lot of them are smaller budget games that will be quick and fun to finish in between the longer games i have on the go at the moment.Did you feed the backlog again ?
I wouldn't label Disciples, King's Bounty or Expeditions as cRPG, more like TB Strategy games with some minor rpg mechanics, similar to HoMM, but I agree with the general sentiment of your post, unless it's on console and has some sort of japanese influence the general public discards these games as non-rpgs, which is extra hilarious considering how jrpgs don't fit the rpg genre at all but that's a whole new can of worms.Those are cRPGs and mostly on PC so they don't count for the people complaining, which I find absolutely hilarious since PC cRPGs are THE RPGs, the fathers of the entire RPG genre. As someone who adores turn-based cRPGs I have this to say:
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with experimenting, and it would be interesting to see how many people would try something new. My guess is that indie devs would complain that Steam's recommendations are not including them.
As for Dyson Sphere, it feels fully cooked. I can't say if performace will eventually tank because I'm still early game, but there isn't much on the Steam community about that other than the save file can get huge (no cloud saves, beware). There's one branch of the research tree that is grayed out and marked for the future. I think there are some quality of life things that could be done, but nothing too annoying or game breaking. The tutorial is barebones, and it took a while to figure out what to do. It's really kind of hard to believe this is a $20 (US) early access game.
Sneak peek of Tales of Arise's opening movie. Full reveal tomorrow.
I interrupted my daily nothingness with my irregularly scheduled bout of 'I can't stand this mess'. I now have maybe four shortcuts on the desktop and four tabs open.

yeah, pretty much all of this
and the performance DOES tank ... but not until you automate like 80% of the planet's surface
I did get some steam bucks! Thinking about getting Baldurs gate 3! But I haven’t bought a game at full price on steam, hmh not sure I have ever done that.

woah
The demo of TOEM sold me on the game. A relaxing hidden-object game with a top-down view, and 3D first-person camera hunting.
The only downside is that it is done in shades of grey.

At this point I don't even know if I'm joking
I was going to put sad face on this.
They took our reactions ! What's next, emoji ?
Wait, maybe I'm lost and am browsing ERA. It would make sense at least
