I hope for more indie, in games and software - more lifestyle & small businesses - where creativity and uniqueness can flourish

Well there is certainly more "indie" AI slop nowadays. The latest example is Next Fest on Steam right now, almost 8k demos and, well, just have a look, or read any media outlet who is reporting on it - it's an absolute travesty.

    Yup, I let streamers help me figure out what games are worth playing.

    Lately, I'm just watching About Oliver, he does blind / no-wiki / no-backseat gaming. If you are a Minecraft fan, you'll experience something no one else in the community can do. He's currently doing a Create series, but watch the first season first, it's really special.

    Also working on an NES harness instead of gaming myself after a too long stint with X4 foundations :x

      I'm confused, it looks like he plays 90% Minecraft and KSP?

      I agree in principle though - I usually search on YT for reviews and/or gameplay before I buy anything these days, since gameplay trailers are like Hollywood movie trailers: they either give too many spoilers and/or they trick you into buying something that isn't what I want.
