I honestly forget what kept me so occupied some of these days.

(But here, have a few paragraphs I wrote, but never published. They relate to the post two days ago, but were written a good 1-2 weeks before that.)

I've already slightly ranted about this, and it might just be my current state of feeling tired, but there are way too many games being released on Steam.
Looking up some of the statistics, apparently over a third of all the games currently on Steam were added there this year. And the percentage of rubbish continues to increase. Day after day, the vast majority of games I sift through have, by my estimates, been made in under 100 hours solo, or under 200 combined hours as a group. In other words, probably not more than a week or two's worth of work. It's sickening, and there is literally even a company that brags about how they release a game every single day.
Shifting through ~200 games every week only to find 2 at best... it's demoralizing. I just don't feel like it's a good use of my time to thoroughly consider each of these games, so I already preemptively judge them based on the amount of reviews, the positivity of them, as well as what the game looks like in the first few seconds.
