Hi there! You can call me Luna — this is the name I use for myself in every game I play (when I can choose), and now it’s also the name behind my blog, Luna's Gaming Log :)

Hey @valvesoftware.com, you know what would be really rad? If we could filter out games that used AI in pre or post production while we browse through Next Fest demos.

Might also give you some interesting data on how people feel about AI games. Could be fun, could be cool

I also noticed how a lot of demos mentioned the use of AI! I personally prefer not to play games that use AI art, so I had to pay extra attention when browsing around.

I featured 5 wonderfully weird demos participating in the Next Fest in today’s blog post.
Too bad the headless chicken game ended up dropping out from the event and I had to remove it from the list 🐓

That's a good rule of thumb! I already have at least 10 that I'm interested in, let's see how that goes 😅

Luna @lunasgaminglog.com · 2d

Solid advice, thank you 😂

ooh.directory is a directory of blogs, I suggested mine a few weeks ago and it just went live! Really easy process. I saw that someone came from indieblog.page and that’s how I found out my blog was listed there, maybe they took the link from ooh directory? And yes you should add GGL for sure 😊

The Xbox was my first console as an adult and I felt that Game Pass was truly a one-of-a-kind service. I wrote this post to share my frustrations with the anti-consumer direction Microsoft is taking.

I found an Ancient seed on day 12 of spring year 1 in Stardew Valley, and that’s a bit crazy to me

I went from not knowing what to write for next week's blog post, to nearly finishing said post in about 2 hours. The creative roller-coaster 🎢

New post just in! I put together two lists of 5 games each that match the season vibes regardless of where you are 🍂🌸
For these two lists, I aimed to find a balance of lesser-known games and more popular ones, so I hope you can find something for you.
