Are you trying to check out #SteamNextFest demos but can't quite make it past all the AI crud? Overwhelmed by the sheer number of games of varying degrees of quality?

Well look no further! I'm going to be playing tons of demos this week and cataloguing the most standout ones in this thread:

I was going to say they went to the same barber but I think they even used the same bowl 🥣

It's been trickier this year weeding out the good stuff. I've mostly been keeping an eye on what people are reskeeting

That’s three for Birdcage so on the deck it goes

Appreciate the few devs so far who have reached out over the emails to share their Next Fest demos. Hoping to get something together for end of the week, but keen to see what’s good if any of y’all want to throw me more recommendations 👀

The easiest way to get better at Absolum is hop in the assist menu and put enemy damage down low

Can't believe this is how I found out Daft Punk disbanded four years ago

Decided to make a Steam Curator group for all the games I've covered on the channel so far, be it in videos like COOL GAMES, Best of Next Fest or standalone recommendations. Still a work in progress as there's plenty more to add.

I’m still convinced this game is haunted

hotcyder @hotcyder.bsky.social · 2d

Driving myself mad like a Lovecraft protag reading the thread, but the big one to me is “people are buying X game, ergo it’s popular” and I can’t help but think of Scorsese quote where if audiences are only supplied one thing, they can only ask for more of that.

really i should get the nobel peace prize for the things i do not post on the video game forum "resetera"

Listen, if they made a game as good and mass appeal as Naughty Dog's The Last of Us or Insomniac's Spider-Man then they'd still be around, easy as that 😌

i haven't checked it in ages, what's the hot goss

This is the onscreen text I hope to get if I'm ever in a Martin Scorsese movie

They should be paying people to take it away
