Fuck it, I'm building my own mobile Steam client with voice chat.

Tested new Bun version for Vaporlens deploy to see if it's notably better. Seems like basically only in installing deps 😅 A bit whelming.

Tables comparing Node and Bun for Vaporlens deploy. bun installs ~2.5x faster and the image is ~200MB smaller, but serving is ~20% slower per request in every route tested. Worth it for CI iteration speed, not for production throughput.

Got Claude Max 20x from @anthropic.com as part of their OSS program to improve Exofame. Huge thanks!

Ah, yes, truly the gaming search I've been looking for.

This is now my favorite take on AI tools. Source: daringfireball.net/2025/12/slop...

Vaporlens got added into Augmented Steam extension with ~500k users install base yesterday. This is what traffic looks like 😅

Vaporlens refund intent analysis coming along quite nicely. Managed to quite literally put a dollar sign on potential refund reasons. Pretty happy with how it came out :D #gamedev #indiedev #analytics

Been playing around with steam review analysis for refund churn prediction. Here's a (very rough) example based on ARC Raiders. I'd say there's some potential in this 🤔 Are you in gamedev? What do you think about insights like this? #gamedev #games

Is that what OpenAI meant by "allowing erotica"? 😅

Spent the weekend adding auto-generated podcasts to VaporLens. Now you can listen to reviews if you prefer this format :D

Doing this is always very satisfying 😅

Alright, I've finally finished version of VaporLens - an app that condenses Steam reviews into clear pros, cons, and insights - I can share. So, here y'all go - one-page game summaries using steam customer reviews. I think it came out quite nicely. Still lots of ideas though :D

I've been working on a little tool that summarizes Steam game reviews in one page. If you play game - do you find this helpful? Still trying to figure out how to proceed here 😅

Vaporlens - Hello Kitty Island Adventure Steam game reviews summary

Vaporlens - Aloft Steam game reviews summary

Vaporlens - Hyper Light Breaker Steam game reviews summary

Caught an amusing bug in Gemini - giving it an image with metric system chart will reliably trip safety system and block ANY responses from it, even with filters disabled 😅

Returning to youtube after break is rough 😱 Wondering if it even makes sense to continue with streams.
