Personal account of the guy that runs Just Another Game Review @jagreview.com Posting almost exclusively about video games in a desperate attempt to get my Discover feed to do the same (it's not working, someone please help me).
hey, do you play games on steam? want to do something nice for the devs of the games you've played this year this holiday season?
just go through the last 10-20 games you played and post a short positive review for them. reviews are SO important to the steam algorithm, this is a good thing to do!
That's the menu I was referring to (hands move faster than brain and I typed the wrong word, sorry). It'd be cool to see some of the details from that page in the voting page itself, because I feel like most voters are going to gloss over anything that's on a separate webpage.

It also didn't help that the specific accessibility features that made them eligible for the reward was buried behind a separate menu during voting, so I'd bet most voters didn't even see it then.
It immediately became one of my best implants because it let me re-equip a 6d2 maghammer that I stowed away once I found a lower-damage mace that spawns clockwork beetles on hit. Now I can use both, plus I can one-hand a sniper rifle and a bow at the same time...somehow.
An item called a "matter recompositer", which lets you teleport to a random, explored space on the map.
An item called "giant hands", which lets you wield two-handed weapons in one hand.
Caves of Qud has two kinds of cybernetic implants:
A. A device too small for the human eye, capable of manipulating the very fabric of reality to let you warp through space at will
B. Yaoi hands
Update: I am the Beetle Lord
A map with a large pool of salty water and dozens of map tiles filled with streaks of a multi-color slurry of other fluids like blood, slime, and brackish water.
Caves of Qud is by far the most wet game I have ever played
A player character is shown on a top-down grid surrounded by 21 clockwork beetles.
Came back to Caves of Qud after 10 months away.
First new place I visit gives me a mace that spawns friendly clockwork beetles every time I bonk someone over the head with it.
It's good to be back.

A text box from a player that reads "what's with the middle school arguments when we're all uncs now LOL"
This guy gets it
I'm watching maybe a dozen players bickering in MapleStory Idle's world chat, and I've gotta get this off my chest: letting players broadcast messages to every other player online might be the single biggest mistake of MMO game design, especially if you can't mute that particular message channel.
A Steam achievement titled "Snail Lord", earned for producing ten million snails.
Truly my greatest gaming achievement.

I crawled out of my hole to play Battlefield 6. I should have stayed in the hole. It sucks. It's worse than living in the hole. It made me miss the dark, cold hole. Don't play it. It is bad.
I wrote a review of it for @jagreview.com. You can read the full review here: jagreview.com/2025/11/14/r...

Good series overall? It's on my list of "manga to read eventually" but I don't know much about it.
Am I wrong
Well there's your problem, you're supposed to use your fingers to send the replies
I put off playing this game for way too long, but it ended up being the perfect way to spend a not-so-scary Halloween night (yes I know I'm posting this in like mid-November, I'm slow, don't judge me).
A plea for help. 🙏
One of the lead playtesters of Blue Prince, Iggy, has polycystic kidney disease and has only a few months to find a living kidney donor.
His story, contact and donor information can all be found on

Please help us in sharing his story and getting the word out.💙
Three Steam achievements for clearing the game My Friendly Neighborhood with an A rank, an S rank, and an S rank on normal or harder difficulty respectively. The icons next to each achievement spell the word "ass".
I just beat My Friendly Neighborhood a few days ago and wanted to mess around with some of the cheats I'd unlocked during my run. Turns out starting a new game with cheats doesn't disable achievements, and accidentally triggering the ending unlocked three achievements in the funniest order possible.

A stack of t-shirts with the likeness of wrestlers Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Stone Cold Steve Austin on them. The top two shirts are folded in such a way that their noses are missing and no space exists between their eyes and mouths.
New favorite mall activity: find pop culture stores with a graphic tee display, look for stacks of any shirt with someone's face on them, and fold the top of the stack in such a way that it deletes their nose.
