indie devs: really really really good marketing video about how Steam works at the moment "How To Make Your First Game Blow Up On Steam (With No Following)" watched the whole thing and did a lot of nodding to Chris' hot takes youtu.be/MLLLZR_vz38?...

went to Undertale concert yesterday, loved it!!! - unironically just lovely vibes - great crowd; can compete with charli xcx crowd, people losing it in a nice way - music extremely good - have never seen that many people actually washing their hands in the bathroom, nice

turns out the Switch 2 fits pretty well into the Steam Deck case (not perfect but okay if you haven’t got a Switch 2 case yet)
