I'm starting to write more reviews of smaller titles on Steam.
1. Reviews are very helpful for developers and players alike.
2. It's a nice way to cap off a fun time with a game.
So not only do I recommend Babushka's Glitch Dungeon, but I also recommend writing reviews of indie games you enjoyed!

USB video capturing for the Open DMG Display! I adapted the GB Interceptor approach for the #opendmgdisplay, making it likely the first #gameboy IPS mod with integrated USB video output.
