You’re gonna want to see what the BlueSky guys have decided is too intolerant for you to read.

Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Looking back i realize that i shouldn't post about cool games when i'm salty... This was definitely one of the highlights of the Next Fest and i think it will be a Day 1 purchase. I felt cheated (or.. robbed? 😏) but 1. i probably overreacted to being unlucky 2. it makes things more interesting

Souls at Zero@soulsatzero.bsky.social

Next one: Probably Stolen. I see many loving this and i see why. It's fun and has a lot of cool ideas. I stopped playing when i was robbed several days in a row, bought an alert system.. and kept getting robbed. That was frustrating,but maybe i was just unlucky store.steampowered.com/app/4349200/...

store.steampowered.comFuneral for the Sun Demo on SteamSearch the ashes of an abandoned town and uncover 400 years of damnation, family history and revolution. Witness the past with your own eyes, construct a web of connections between townsfolk, discover...

Joining the Next Fest recommendation train. Funeral for the Sun is similar to the Golden Idol games. You find clues on names, relations etc. of different characters and events and use those to solve a big mystery. Very fascinating and i love the style. store.steampowered.com/app/4289350/...

Okay, it's #SteamNextFest and there's a lot of demos out there, so here's a quick thread of suggestions to try out, a lot of these I might not have played, they're just what's tickling my fancy. Let's start with Queen's Domain which is releasing on the 30th!

store.steampowered.comQueen's Domain Demo on SteamA retro-fantasy action RPG with brutal combat and traversal-focused exploration. Embark on a quest to find your father who disappeared on the mysterious Isle of Neasied, where sinister forces gather, ...

store.steampowered.comTom the Postgirl Demo on SteamJoin Tom, the village’s new postgirl, and get to know the locals, perhaps a little too well. Her method, although controversial, is highly effective: intense, obsessive stalking.

The demo for Tom the Postgirl took me only 15 minutes to finish, but showed me enough to put it on my wishlist. It has such a great aesthetic and music and is overall very bizarre and silly. store.steampowered.com/app/2707660/...

store.steampowered.comDon't Pick Up Demo on SteamWanted: a reliable technician who follows the rules, handles sensitive information with discretion, and does not ask questions. Fix the phones. Don't look too closely.

Your job in Don't Pick Up is to repair smartphones, don't ask questions and DON'T snoop around. I tried to be a good worker, so I haven't even scratched the surface of this game yet. Still i think i got a good impression of how interesting it is going to be. store.steampowered.com/app/5208890/...

What a beautiful and cute little game Danchi Days promises to be. The protagonist is a little girl that organizes a festival. Despite it's cuteness, the game has some heavy themes (like dementia) and i can definitely see it might making me tear up eventually... store.steampowered.com/app/3312850/...

Ace & Aro is a visual novel (?!) to learn about asexuality and aromanticism. In the demo (named Ace & Aro: One Night Early) you talk with one of the NPCs of the game. I definitely felt like i learned something. Not much interesting gameplay, but i recommend it. store.steampowered.com/app/4554030/...

It always comes back to this for me; if AI was so good, such a disclosure would be a selling point. If AI was everything these slop jockeys said it was, they should be proud to let people know their game was AI made. But the proof is in the pudding, and they can't stand that people don't want it.

The No Jumpscare Show is a game without jumpscares. or is it??? ;) nah, it is (maybe) It's short, cute (and scary(?)) and i enjoyed it. store.steampowered.com/app/5056910/... PS: as someone who keeps yapping about not liking jumpscares, i feel this game was made to make fun of me specifically.

Annalynn MD was not really for me, but i think that's because i also never really enjoyed Dr. Mario. But if you DO enjoy Dr. Mario... this game has really cute character designs, has some interesting mechanics (it's not just Dr. Mario) and good vibes. store.steampowered.com/app/3732670/...

store.steampowered.comThe Road of Dust and Sorrow on SteamThe Road of Dust and Sorrow is a tense, story-driven pixel art horror inspired by ’90s classics. Survive a world gone wrong and protect what matters most: your daughter.

Presentation and aesthetic of this game is great. A 2D survival horror zombie game with little puzzles and zombie killing. I quit playing when i was overwhelmed by zombies, didn't know what to do and died. But with more patience i think this is really cool. store.steampowered.com/app/3895110/...

store.steampowered.comRain of Lead Demo on SteamEvery hit is lethal, with no room for error. Switch between sword and pistol to tear through soldiers, artillery pieces, tanks — and even destroy an entire army. You awaken without memories. A queen c...

Rain of Lead is Katana Zero with Yuri (oh and it's Dieselpunk not Cyberpunk). I saw some people claim it's not, but they are lying. Even the music reminds of Katana Zero. It definitely works and i recommend trying it. It's on my wishlist now. store.steampowered.com/app/5086270/...

store.steampowered.comReshine Demo on SteamGently restore old objects by cleaning away layers of dust, rust, and time. Reshine is a minimalistic, relaxing experience: use a range of tools to watch years of grime disappear before your eyes. No ...

Reshine is very cool. I enjoy these "restauration" videos from time to time and that's basically what you do here. Disassemble smth, clean it, reassemble. I would like an extra mode where the cleaning part is a bit more involved. But it's satisfying either way. store.steampowered.com/app/4668060/...

store.steampowered.comNekome: Nazi Hunter on SteamHunt and kill Nazis in a stealthy single-player campaign with bloody and brutal melee combat. Study your enemies, confirm your approach, and become an unexpected assassin fueled by violent revenge.

In this videogame you kill nazis. store.steampowered.com/app/4200110/...

This is a Blue Prince-like. Which seems very ambitious, i guess it will just not be as big of a rabbit hole. But the little i played i think it works well. The addition of monsters that you can flee/fight feels unecessary and i'm glad it can be deactivated. store.steampowered.com/app/4617940/...

store.steampowered.comTALAKA Demo on SteamSlash, shoot, and restore myths and beasts in fluid, fast roguelite combat through a stunning hand-drawn watercolor world, where legends and even Orishas are going rogue in fear of being forgotten.

Talaka looks incredibly cool and plays very good. It's a roguelite inspired by Hades (with Brazilian mythical and historical figures) and seems pretty ambitious, with different weapons, skills etc. The hand drawn art & animations are amazing! store.steampowered.com/app/5071840/...

Curse of Resthaven is very interesting. A mixture of adventure, town management and apparently roguelite (i haven't gotten to that part yet). I first thought this would feel messy, but i think i like it. I usually don't finish demos but i might do that here. store.steampowered.com/app/4661280/...

I already hate when devs are getting super obedient about player feedback, promising to just wanting to make a game the players want. A video game being "personalized exactly to my preferences" just sounds incredibly boring and bad.

Exactly. I am tired of seeing the “I always knew”/“their work was actually bad” takes whenever allegations emerge. Sometimes—often, actually!—bad people find their way into good spaces and make good things. And you’re not better than the folks who were taken advantage of for “always knowing”
