Not only can it show you games you might vibe with, but also games on your wishlist.

The After School Afterlife (@minibunnies.bsky.social) demo was super weird and very cool. I failed at platforming so they all laughed at me 😅
I beat the boss though, so I guess I showed them.
Also considering fishing 237 guppies. 🎣

Herdling is a beautiful adventure, from bustling urban streets to snow-capped mountains with fields of flowers bursting out here and there.
The pace is slow and gentle, but never without peril; After all, a shepherd must stay ever vigilant.

I was a big Minesweeper person back in the 90s, so Nurikabe World is feeling super nostalgic, but also way less stressful.

I'm not a big achievement hunter, but if I see something that is silly and relatively easy to get, I will do it to the detriment of my game.
Fortunately, in this case (@tinybookshopgame.com), the stakes are pretty low.
No one was harmed on this dangerous day of trade... as far as I know.

Birth is a beautifully strange little game. 🦴
You’re lonely, so you build a companion, one puzzle and one bone at a time, obviously.
Gives me A little to the Left vibes, but way weirder.
The art is gorgeous, and the town is full of odd, delightful secrets.

For my dev friends out there, do reviews on older gamers benefit you?
If I review a game that is 5 years old, are people likely to see it? Does Steam do anything with this information? Or a reviews on recently released games more valuable?

Not indie, but I've been playing Assassin's Creed: Shadows and have spent a lot of time taking NPC portraits.
Who needs the main quest line 😅
Something I enjoy with Assassin's Creed games is the little interaction. Shadows doesn't have much of that, so I'm just making own.
