This is a genuine missstep. It is not the job of the platform to critique the quality of the game; it is their job, however, to ensure we don't buy malware, that the products are safe.
It is the job of reviewers to curate a game's quality, not the job of the storefront, as what may be "Junk" to one person is a "Gem" to another. By denying indies an oppurtunity to fail, it also equally denies them a chance to succeed.
That is the STRENGTH of Steam, not a weakness.
I help people get their sleep on track as part of my job and if you're not doing these for your sleep, your should:
- Take 1mg or less ONLY of melatonin. Less is more with melatonin and you're not doing yourself favors with 5 or 10mg pills, which manufacturers make because people buy them thinking they're better. Not the case.
- Sleep in 100% darkness. Light of any level interferes with your sleep. Get a sleep mask if you can't get your room dark.
- Get better sheets. You should NOT be sleeping on polyester / microfiber - they trap heat and don't breathe either, promoting skin issues. Your temperature changes through the night, so a temp-regulating fabric like a linen/cotton blend is great for all seasons; or if you sleep too hot, try bamboo/viscose, which disappates heat.
- Get enough sleep. If you're younger (adolescent to young adult) you may need 9 or even 10. Uterus owners, new research is out indicating we need a bit more sleep, including right around menstruation - 8.5 or 9 hours might be more appropriate even if you're an adult.
- Try to get the same amount of sleep every day. A new study is out showing that it's likely healthier to get consistent sleep (ie 6h every night) over inconsistent but more sleep (ie 8, then 4, then 10).
- Try magnesium balm. Mag is good for sleep quality and skin balm less hard on your stomach than a tablet.
- GET YOUR PHONE OUT OF YOUR BED. I stg some of you are complaining about insomnia but still scrolling in bed - BLUE LIGHT SUPPRESSES MELATONIN. Your brain literally thinks it's daytime when you look at your phone's light so it's no wonder you're not sleeping. No phone or screens an hour before bed. Get a book, talk on the phone, or shower instead.
- Similarly, get out of bed if you're not falling asleep. Lying there for hours teaches your brain to associate the bed with not sleeping, so get up and sit in dim light on the sofa - no, get off your phone - and read something boring until you feel more sleepy.
- If you have ANY signs of sleep apnea or are overweight, I recommend asking about a sleep study - you can often get a small take-home device to do one. I was chronically tired, achy, etc but did not snore, so I was shocked when I found out it was mild apnea. Sleep onset insomnia can be a sign!
@theashleyray I always sussed the dad and son, cause the case didn't make a whole Lotta sense to me and I'm glad I've found your page cause now I'm seeing even more clearly how this case was handled so poorly. Making the case harder for investigators makes you look guilty to me...
@VivaldiVril This is why I trust my father when he tells me someone isn't good for me. He doesn't have the rose colored glasses, and as a man would know more about their intent before I do. Same as my brothers, and I know they all want whats best for me and to keep me safe from troubles

Their first project "Instinct" can be seen below!
Hey hey! I'm in Megan Basham's new book, Shepherds for Sale! I made the introduction!
My sin - the reason I'm a leader "pimping their pulpit," is her claim that I started arguing for "evangelicals to be more 'nuanced' about abortion."

READY? FIGHT!
This sequence was a real puzzle. We needed to communicate quickly how the aces summon their units for battle.
From storyboarding all the way to comp, the team totally nailed it!
I know itโs now vogue to use Japanese terms and concepts to have a better (western) life, but the Japanese themselves do not talk much about these terms as they are themselves alienated from these traditional values as we are. They have one of the highest rates of depression and teenage bullying (as well as suicides) in the world.
Perhaps we should look at ALL cultures (I am learning how Korean culture has so much to offer) and learn from them? Perhaps the Japanese can also learn their own terms of simplicity and harmony to celebrate their own culture? Thinking out loud here.
When @HaejinMako helped to introduce #Kintsugi to the world starting in 2020, we were amazed that the Japanese themselves were not aware of this term. Now we are working here to correct superficial understanding of this ancient craft (has become superficial, DIY understanding) to convey the complexity, depth and beauty of Urushi culture of Japan and Korea. Yes, we do have a lot to learn from generational stewardship of poison sumac trees grown in northern Japan!
So letโs not be so quick to โmineโ these cultural terms. Go visit, be friend and listen to the locals talk about their ordinary lives (thereโs been good movies about that). Share ours. Thatโs the #CultureCare path @iamculturecare
