Omelet You Cook is a game entirely about my autistic desire to spread ingredients optimally in food so I don't get a pocket with all of the tomato. Art by @hjalte.bsky.social

For a frantic party time, check out SPLORT! A cool little solo-developed brawler party game for up to 12 local players.
Why not give this one a go? It has a ton of levels, weapons and game modes and should easily fill a couple of post-work hangouts.

Look, I'm gonna be honest. I don't get the appeal of King of Retail 2. I've no dreams of going from a small store becoming a billionaire. I'm even a bit uncomfortable with getting paid in the first place.
But if you're the exact oppposite, give it a try?

It is a well-known fact that the moon is made of cheese, so if you think you have what it takes, why not become an intergalactic cheese trader in @spacebak.bsky.social's physics based Gravity Break?
It's cheese and rocket science!

For more frantic fun, check out the newest demo by the experts over at @gameswing.dk, who previously brought you incredible games like Stikbold and Oddballers:
Guntouchables is a fast-pased 4-player co-op twinstick roguelike shooter.
... Are those... Hotdogs?

Speaking of amazing games at TAGS, here's the winner of the 2024 line-up, now finally ready with a demo. It's GLUM by CinderCat Games. @noedvars.bsky.social
If your favourite part of Duke3D was wielding The Mighty Boot, then this sure is your lucky day!

It's Tempest Tower! A cute as heck Tower Defense game by the developers of Time on Frog Island @halfpastyellow.bsky.social.
I checked it out at The Awesome Game Showcase at Copenhagen Gaming Week and it looks absolutely sick!

Next is a game I'm personally incredibly hyped about. Godstone has an incredible art style, and is developed a Danish solo developer. Go give @dementedplant.bsky.social a wishlist and check this incredible game out which is ALMOST ready to release.

Oh, you're involved with this as well?

In Digimon's defense... They released their first game before Pokémon did, so all these accusations of copying someone else's work we've had to listen to since the 1990s ring real hollow.
Both franchises were inspired by Tamagotchi.

I highly recommend keeping up with some of all the amazing Danish game efforts. You can keep updated using this Steam curator:

I can highly recommend "Foreningen for aseksuelle i Danmark". Been to a couple of talks they've done, including a discussion between an AroAce and an Aro Non-Ace individual, and it's always been enlightening.
And I understand that they regularly meet up for board games and cake. :)

Then let me ask you this: What happens if or when Facebook gives up on the Metaverse stuff? What happens to people with stock? With metaverse properties? With managers in third party companies who've launched expensive metaverse projects? With the product owners at Meta?

That's why you build this mythology out of it. The closer you can get it to a cult, the longer they'll stick around out of sunk cost fallacy. Can't let the bubbe burst, so LinkedIn and investor meetings HAVE to creepily optimistic. Never let doubt sink it.

You're not the target of this grift. Sure it'd be nice to also get your money. But how much does your broke ass have to throw away on a social media service compared to venture capitalists hoping to strike big?

Oh, it's not for users. It's for investors! You gotta have that myth of living in the future, so you'll be the first to capitalize on the opportunities and secure exponential growth. That means hyping up whichever bullshit will bamboozle techbro nepobabies with more money then sense.

I come from a family with strong tendencies towards addiction, so I've always stayed completely straight edge to not tempt fate. But I am completely aware of just how much of Danish social culture that has locked me out of. It isn't until my 30s that stopped being a major isolating factor.

I'm personally probably not a great benchmark for that, since I'm neither much of a tactics or a JRPG guy, but I know you're fairly knowledgable in that field yourself.

Aside form SullyGnome you can also look the games up on Youtube (find a review, click the game in the description to get to the game's hub page) to find an overview of the most popular videos about said game, and use that to find Youtubers that might be interested.

Instead of just sending out review keys (which you can also do using keymailer.co and the Steam curator system if you like) I recommend that you ask people to reply if they'd want a review key. That way there's less keys floating aroudn that might end up sold on grey market key sites.

When writing mils, make sure to have an eye-grabbing subject line. Maybe use some colorful emoji.
Make sure that the first lines tell exactly what makes your game cool and *different*, not just what it's similar to or its genre. What's your gimmick?
Oh and add a cool gif and adress them directly.
