If this continues, I might just switch to a lower-frequency update schedule. Maybe thrice a week or something like that. Although there's no guarantee that I wouldn't miss those updates then as well. I hope this is just a phase of relative inactivity.
I actually spent the majority of today working on that program that would browse Steam's new releases for me. I'm not particularly experienced with making stuff that communicates with other stuff, so it took rather long. Not to mention I had to figure out how to automatically bypass age and mature content restrictions, as well as deal with a bunch of exception cases. In the end, I got it working (for the time being at least), and all that's left is to automatically mark certain games as "Not Interested".
It's not too aggressive with the filtering, only weeding out about 60% of the games. I manually looked over the batch of ~200 games it decided were not worthy of my attention, and not a single one of those was something I, myself, would have considered either, so I think it's doing a good job. And the rest that it did choose for me to look over were of much better quality. Having not gone over the new releases for about a week now, I should have some new games listed in the next post.
It also does some very minor logging on the amount of games released as well as the average score my program gives to the games on that day. It's more for the sake of fun than anything else though.
