a thumbs up steam review for space warlord baby trading simulator, posted on March 30 at 9:15pm review text: yeah it's awesome and well designed and super fun despite (or maybe because of???) all the randomness, and the scenarios are great and make you play in different and interesting ways but this is also SUCH an incredible game to play on the couch with all your friends, passing the controller around and cheering each other on!! great concept great execution and I love how the menus and transitions kind of feel like a DS game :)

A screenshot of a steam news post from discord, detailing a new set of steam awards and changes to the existing awards system.  **New: Awards no longer transfer points**When we originally created Steam Community Awards, the idea was for them to not only look cool but to also grant a small number of Steam Points to the recipient, meaning they could be used as a tip of sorts for people who create and share amazing content with the Steam Community. However, we found that this encouraged and rewarded a narrow set of attention-grabbing content and didn't allow the focus to be as much on a broader pool of thoughtful, well-considered creative content.  Because of this, we're refocusing the system: The Second Edition of Steam Community Awards won't transfer points. Instead, the goals of the system will be solely about conveying the appreciation of the viewer to the content creator, and as a signal to others that someone appreciated the piece of content.

a bsky post from "davemakes" @mixolumia.com. it says "elitist programmers are an albatross around the neck of indies and I never want to hear another dev feel ashamed that their good game doesn't have 10x engineer code. good code is a specialization. it ranks so far below game design, narrative, music, art, marketing, community management."
