"We are sorry for today's newsletter," GOG wrote in an apology on X. "We made a series of mistakes: We created an unfortunate visual association by placing the runes incorrectly, we used the wrong logo for The End of the Sun, we did not check the display of the newsletter on mobile devices—which came out worse—and we didn't port the feedback from our German QA to other languages." "While half our email based received this email, we stopped the send-out as soon as we noticed the error." "We are now revising our review process to enforce more checks and catch these mistakes earlier. "
"commit 0.5% of NYC’s budget to libraries, ensuring we have enough revenue for robust services and well-staffed facilities." is highlighted Zohran Mamdani's 2025 campaign platform website. https://www.zohranfornyc.com/platform Libraries are critical to our city’s success—they enable access to the internet, provide cool from summer heat, serve as vital community hubs, and help New Yorkers seek career advancement and education. Yet, Eric Adams’ library closures have been devastating. As a state legislator, I supported neighborhood organizing to restore funding to Astoria’s Broadway Library and have used Assembly discretionary money to fund programming at the Queens Public Library. As Mayor, I will end the practice of using library funding as a bargaining chip in budget negotiations and commit 0.5% of NYC’s budget to libraries, ensuring we have enough revenue for robust services and well-staffed facilities.

This is a document of a historical example in which I myself granted a license to myself. I have decided to make it public for developers who may face similar issues in the future. Once again, I sincerely thank Steam for their flexible support. Daikichi

Steam Next Fest as Validation Tomas Sala is a wild man. He both announced and shipped a demo for his new boat-crafting-sandbox game Ship Shaper just days before the February Steam Next Fest. At the start of the fest it shot up and peaked at the #27 most popular demos before settling in at 60-70 rank. He thinks that quick increase is due to the 5000 wishlists he earned from some viral TikToks right at the announcement of the game. His strategy was to use Next Fest to test whether his game had “The Magic.” If it did, he would continue working on it. If it didn’t, I don’t know what he would have done. But lucky for him it proved that it had the magic and he earned 11,566 wishlists during Steam Next Fest. I am happy for Tomas and I think it is cool what he did, but I don’t think the typical developer can pull this off. Here is why He is a very successful dev who has built up an audience over years. His previous games are Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles and The Falconeer: Revolution Remaster He has a big following of fans who like his previous games. He knows what it takes to ship a quality game. He understands Steam and the audience very well. He was just working on a “rapid release” idea and was ok with the downside risk He was lucky with some very viral Tiktoks. Even with all those stars aligning, he didn’t technically get into the 95th percentile 15,000 wishlist plus club. If this is your first game and your first Steam Next Fest, do not try to shadow drop your demo. You will not have the luck that Tomas did. Your demo will not be as refined as Tomas’s either. He has a lot of experience making demos and learned a lot by refining his demo for Bullwark publicly over a number of months.

It looks to me like the important revenue categories on Steam are in fact stable or slightly growing, even as unthinkable numbers of games arrive each week, meaning that you're still "competing" at roughly the same level. In any case, what changes are we supposed to make based on this information? Trim budgets even further? Give up entirely? None of this seems to lead to any kind of productive development or behavioural alteration. I could be wrong about this but I don’t care because I’m going to still make games anyway. People still value good games and those are what I aspire to create and support.

In Magic: The Gathering, the Power Nine are nine rare cards found in the Alpha, Beta, and Unlimited sets, and are widely considered to be the most powerful cards ever printed. They are only legal in Vintage in which they are restricted, meaning a deck may not contain more than one copy of the cards. Due to their power, these nine cards are considered "broken" (overwhelmingly powerful) Ancestral Recall Black Lotus Mox Emerald Mox Jet Mox Pearl Mox Ruby Mox Sapphire Timetwister Time Walk The Black Lotus is the most valuable Magic card ever to be released in a regular set. The illustration on Black Lotus was painted by Christopher Rush, who was at the time a Wizards of the Coast employee. The Black Lotus illustration is a depiction of a black lotus flower over a foliage backdrop. The cycle of five Mox cards — Mox Pearl, Mox Ruby, Mox Sapphire, Mox Jet, and Mox Emerald — are Artifacts, that are similar to the five Basic lands in that they add one mana of a specific color. All five Mox cards have been illustrated by Dan Frazier. In each artwork, a different piece of jewelry is depicted. Ancestral Recall allows the player to use one card to draw three more at an extremely low mana cost. In Time Walk's early playtest version it had the text "Target player loses next turn." While the game designers intended that the opposing player would skip a turn, many new players saw the card and believed that the targeted player would lose the entire game (i.e.: "Target player loses [during their] next turn" instead of the intended "Target player loses [the ability to take their] next turn"). However, the wording was changed before the release of Alpha. Even with the altered wording, Time Walk remains the cheapest way to get an extra turn in the game.

where they're like, “How are you controlling the TV?” This is blowing my mind. And so my brother and I, we just thought this was a magical device. And the first real game that we spent a lot of time on, he and I – I was five, and he was three – we beat the original Final Fantasy. We got the Nintendo Power [Player’s Guide]. I still don't even know how. I think my parents wrote in to get it mailed to us, because before that, I don't think I had a Nintendo Power subscription because I couldn't read. And so he and I, using that guide, taught ourselves how to read and beat the first Final Fantasy. And then we were just kind of off to the races.
