I found weird ass games like Age of Decadence because of steam. I dount I wouldve found that lovingly crafted load of slavic jank without steam, or atleast it wouldve been until Warlocracy made a video on it.

Shit, I've bought that but haven't gotten around to playing it yet. Is it any good?

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Its a solid CRPG but be ready for slav jank. Really good story.

My library and tastes are pretty eclectic so I think Steam's recommendation engine struggles with me lol. That said, I love how it sends me shit no one seems to know about at the time, like Kenshi, Volcanoids, PULSAR, etc.

Yeah, though my tastes seem to be a rather close to a venn diagram circle with Mandaloregaming which is disconcerting at times. Maybe a bit more post apocalyptia on my part.

Yeah it's becoming a bit uncanny when I pickup a game and see Mandalore, SplatterCat, or AlphaBetaGamer covering it a few days later.
