Listen, I used it for a few months back when Melon bought Twatter.
When I started 20% of my timeline was your bot reposts of various internet articles.
When I gave up on it, 60-70% of my timeline was your bot.
I'm sure there's people using the platform, bully to them for that.
What I saw was something completely different though.
I do agree that Mastodon is really the only long-term solution.
I also doubt it will actually happen. The world wide web was basically Mastodon at some point (i.e. very decentralized, with no controlling power structure), and companies (with the help of people who don't care) turned it into what it is today (i.e. basically 95% of the traffic in 10 massive platforms controlled by 4 companies).
What really annoys me is that any politician/party/official thing whatsoever in the EU still uses Twitter, or Facebook, or anything else that's controlled by a large corporation. The EU has ec.social-network.europa.eu, but they aren't pushing it remotely hard enough.

Now Overwatch 2 is having a nostalgic throwback event, and it'll include the return of 6v6 matches
Fornite is doing it, Apex Legends is doing it, and now Overwatch 2 is looking to tweak nostalgia nubbins by having a no…

Overwatch 2 will have an Overwatch Classic mode, with 6v6, just the original heroes, original mechnanics... looking forward to trying this (well, not so much trying, more like "returning"). I liked Overwatch and played it a lot, but I never warmed to 5v5 or the other changes they introduced with Ovw2 (and still find it unacceptable they removed the original game which people paid for). This is time-limited for now (Nov 12–Dec 2), but if people like it, they might bring it back, they said - and I hope they do/keep it.

there's also a Steam Cooking Fest

I'd use Fediverse more often if there's a better way to import my following list from Twitter. I managed to import maybe half of it to Bluesky with the help of a browser extension.

Cook Serve Re-Mustard is the only cooking game I want in my life right nowPixel Cafe is better on the Switch as it has touch controls, if you like that sort of management game. It's on sale for cheap now on the eShop.
Finely Diced looks interesting. Will check out the demos for Kitchen Crisis, Culinarium, and The Bread Must Rise when I have the time...

Basically you have to do your own algorithm. The question is , do you care enough to do that? I’d wager most people don’t.Listen, I used it for a few months back when Melon bought Twatter.

I'm generally happy enough with Bsky. The artists I follow are there — most of them, anyway. I even engage/post stuff that I like almost every day, while on Twitter I mostly just lurked.
At least on Bsky the algorithm for the topics that interests me has worked roughly the same way with Twitter in the old days, with considerably less effort.

Catching up to more reviews I had pending on Steam Deck: Red Dead Redemption, Mouthwashing, AC Mirage, Killing Time, Neva, and more in my second Steam Deck-focused newsletter on the TouchArcade Patreon. (publicly viewable). Yes, I did order a new bottle of Listerine for the photo since the one I had was half full lol.
Indiana Jones is shaping up to be my favorite game in a long time. They coming immersive sim elements with treasure hunting and IP i love so what is there not to like 
. Cherry on top would be involvement of Arkane to help with level design (their influence on level design in Youngblood was rare positive thing for that game).

This is the most interested I've been in Overwatch after years.
Overwatch 1.0 is extremely fun as a casual shooter.
OW 1.0 will be interesting. I never played the original, I first got the game for free (came with a prebuilt PC I installed) around the time Brigitte came out, which is right when a lot of people starting hating on the game because of GOATS. I had my fill of fun, but I really did not enjoy what OW2 did to the game. I unistalled like IDK a year ago or more and have not felt like reinstalling. I'm sure if I check out OW 1.0 it will be weird as fuck.
I loved overwatch in launch year but the current one is just not fun. Same for Hearthstone. Loved how it was for the first few years but dropped it and barely care now.

You should've matched the Listerine bottle with Asscred instead, so that you can immediately wash away the horrid taste of Ubislop.

Not a ton of new info, but they hint at future hardware again, talk about how some games are more popular on Deck (UFO 50, Kingdom Hearts etc) and are aware of anti-cheat woes.
That's a nice discount, opened the store page and the dreaded "game is already in your Steam library" message appeared
Thanks!

This one was short at least. Also I love being able to sync my save and pickup. I started a new one to test but got my main save over as well.
Video game mogul buys Jho Low's superyacht, to turn it into gaming hub
KUALA LUMPUR: Billionaire Gabe Newell, founder of video game company Valve, has purchased the luxury superyacht Tranquility, formerly owned by fugitive businessman Jho Low, a key figure in the 1MDB scandal, The Star reported.

I read that Treyarch was responsible for MP and Raven for SP, on both BLOPS6 and Cold War. And frankly, they feel like Raven games.

Your mention of immersive sim elements peaked my curiosity, which was zero for this game, and I went to take a look at the gameplay. I guess you must have seen a completely different video because all I saw was a heavily scripted and on-rails game where the player seemingly has almost zero agency.
To each their own I guess, happy you liked it and that you're excited for it. I'll keep it in my don't care pile for the time being.
Valve announces limited edition white Steam Deck OLED
Valve has announced the Steam Deck OLED: White Edition.
Wow, that thing is beautiful. I most hold strong until SD2 though. For right now, the basic OLED model is enough for me.
I'm so glad Valve is continuing to go down the Deck path and not just throw it out into the wild like ye olde "Steam Machines."
I would suspect future hardware refers here to their VR headset. I suspect a Steam Deck 2 exists at the moment only on paper, with some future AMD chip in mind that does not exist yet.There's a complementary interview from Automation about the white Steam Deck's announcement:

Damn an official baseball game on Steam? That wasn't on my bingo card this year lol
Going to grab this at some point. Just a shame it doesn't contain the 2 best versions of Tetris. Tetris Effect and the Gameboy version. I dread to think how many hours I put into the Gameboy version and for a long time was the only game I ever had or needed for it.
Many levels you visit are open and you are free to approach it however you want. Also almost anything is weapon too. There are of course scripted sections but game has a lot of freedom. For example Giza map is basically mini open world map that you are free to explore and find your path to the goals.
It does however have a "1989 mode"

I figured I'd add up to that: within the games included in Tetris Forever, there is a new game called Tetris Time Warp. And within this, you can access the 1989 marathon, which is basically the GameBoy version. I uploaded a short clip here:

while valve isnt doing that, several thirdparties are: The best Steam Deck cases (that was just the first thing I found, Im sure theres more)
Yea I know about tons of good third party ones but I specifically want another one of the official cases.
They are legit, because I can tell like when I buy a game the email comes right after, as it usually does, I just can see the content. Weird, probably a mail client issue but a weird one.
