Hey friends~ We have a new playtest out now, and I'd love if y'all checked it out. We've been goin hard (perhaps a bit too hard😅) and have a lot of new stuff, especially considering our last playtest was only a few weeks ago 👀 But I'd appreciate you giving it a shot and signal boost. 💖

Working on my own stuff, I'm definitely learning all sorts of things about myself and let me tell you, I'm not happy about most of it.

like yeah some games that go to die on steam *are* someone's actual passion project that they forgot to market during its 6 year development but when people trot out the "there are 15 quintillion games released on steam every day" please remember the vast majority of them are not that

This "Guantanamo Bay of video game experience" is on sale for half its price. It's really really low and it really really helps me if you buy it. Maybe are you part of the 137.846 Wishlisters... Jump in!

I do love the gamer sickness of “I love this game, so peak, they should remake it”.

Out of curiosity I looked through my discovery queue and it's kinda the same story, ignored most of the games. I simply don't understand how this happens, based on all the data they have on me as a customer. Completely useless.

Martin Ferenc @melancholerik.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I went through that carousel and pressed the "ignore" button on most of the games there. You know what happens when you do that? Absolutely nothing 🙃 They're all still there 🙃

Martin Ferenc @melancholerik.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Out of 24 games in that top carousel I remember checking store pages of maybe three of them. There's a single game from my wishlist. Of course, it's a AAA game, a rare one for me: Death Stranding 2. 1/24. Great job guys. Very data driven.

Martin Ferenc @melancholerik.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Devs are seeing significant wishlist spikes now before release driven by the calendar. Who knew that players want to see and play more games like those that they already like, right? I hope they expand on that in the future...

110

Martin Ferenc @melancholerik.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

You literally have all the data, you know what I buy and play and wishlist. I simply don't understand it. It's even more jarring now after they made personal calendar a proper part of the store. It's such a cool change but also weird that it took them this long?!

100

Martin Ferenc @melancholerik.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

That's just to say...idk, there's always talk about Steam algos and how data-driven Valve is, but are they really? I'm not buying or playing these games, yet it's always this same shit that takes up billboard sized features at the very top. Why show it to me? Why waste the space?

100

Martin Ferenc @melancholerik.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

A while back I joked with a friend that no matter what day it is, what sale or event is happening, you'll always see RDR2 on the homepage without having to scroll down. (It's actually in that carousel now, too, ofc)

Theatrical poster for "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me," except the portrait of Laura Palmer is replaced with a Walkling from the game Big Walk, and the film name is replaced with "Big Walk with Me"

why would you try to lock down all the big picture elements of your game before going anywhere near polish when you can instead rush into making something that "looks finished" which ends up introducing rigor mortis to the rest of the project that you have to work around. absolute waste of time.

Anyway, the rabbit thing... I'm in the city not suburbs so it's strange to see wild animals here. He found this area that's currently closed off to people and he's got a decently sized patch of greenery all to himself! I'm fortunate to have good view of that area. Hope he comes back soon.

Martin Ferenc @melancholerik.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Yes, Sony DSC-RX10 V with its 24-600 focal length would allow me to take pictures of the rabbit. And other animals, too! Hell, it might solve every problem in my life for all I know...for a *very fair* price of 2 559 €

A picture of Sony RX10 mark V. It's calling to me.

Top down comparison of the camera with its lens retracted on the left, and FULLY ERECT on the right. It's a big lens. It would allow me to photograph some rabbits for sure. Hmm.

Martin Ferenc @melancholerik.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Another sign of me getting old: I've seen a rabbit in our neighborhood three times in past two weeks and now I'm looking at BRIDGE CAMERAS. I'm cooked, dude.

Hoped to put something together for Falling Block Jam but just couldn't bring myself to it in the end. Got no energy and not in a good place overall. Had an idea before the jam started, but lots of people went in a similar direction with their entries due to the theme, so that didn't help either.

Chris posting about his game months ago is actually how I discovered mancala. An entire family of games completely unknown to me until then! I've since played and enjoyed mancala IRL and am now even more excited to try this :)

Been going for walks in a weighted vest for a while and it's been so nice. It's like the perfect form of exercise for me, just adding extra sauce to something that I already enjoy doing a lot and not having to force myself at all.
