I am looking into this, I've reached out to Steam directly, and I'm actively pitching stories on this subject of the platform's shaky moderation. If any other devs have experienced something similar with reviews and moderation, do reach out.
the Steam team responded to my support request and said they will not remove the review calling me a liar and ridiculing my sexual assault because of censorship concerns.

if Steam refuses to enforce their community guidelines and allows harassment, what can i do?

Left my Twitter account on private for a year, which I figure is enough time for people to connect here or on Masto.
Finally bought it a ticket to a farm up state. Farewell.

Recently reminded of the gal I would hang out with after programming classes at the Community College. Very clever. Always wore a cornflower blue cloak. Only name I knew her by was Dice Ferret.
I never told her, but I always thought she was cool as hell.

And they’ll say they can’t be held accountable because when they pulled the trigger they were afraid for their lives. Their lives which they spent serving an ideology of fear, a machine of fear, a holistic regime of fear. A culture-spanning engine of the ugliest and most dishonest fears there are.
Any one of us could be shot or kidnapped because an ICE agent doesn’t like the look of us. Are you prepared to be murdered in cold blood while “news” sources repeat the claim you were “weaponizing your vehicle” trying to leave your driveway? They want you to accept that. They want to make it normal

I see a lot of this from armchair designer players with a smug air of like, 'silly developer, didn't you realize this design space was already solved?' and it mystifies me because if that's your attitude why are you even bothering to play new games.

Negative reviews of my work with good points are like.. fair! But sometimes the reviews are very genre-normative and it's hard not to feel I'm reading an opinion from the Immune Response for Keeping Games Mid. In conclusion, eat an apple before writing reviews everyone

I've never said this, but Cave Story and Pixel / 天谷 大輔 are the reason I got back into making games, after being talked out of it as a young adult.
Knowing that a hobbiest taught themselves how to make a game engine, charming art, music, and to tell a beautiful little story, was very inspirational.

I've said it before but one of the most revelatory things about reading Marxist theory is seeing just how much genAI automation is just the same old business-as-usual capitalism. Here's Ernest Mandel's Late Capitalism in 1972.

The entire apparatus of American government isn't doing anything to protect its citizens from cops.
It's only a matter of time before an oppressed, silenced, abandoned public turns to violence again. And if the past was any indication, it'd be widely supported. What other avenue for change is left?

It was wild to hear teachers and professors say how lucky we are to live in this peaceful democracy. How capitalism creates the best lives and most efficient industries. All that.
And life since then has been a slow but steady revelation of the utter ignorance and cope that this worldview requires.

i love robinson's description of this, from memory like "i had no idea how to play this spy shit, but alexander siddig was the most beautiful man i'd ever met in my life, so i decided to just play it like i had a crush on him, and bless his heart, he picked it up immediately and rolled with it"
For the unacquainted, this is literally Garak's first on-screen appearance. It's about two minutes long, but watch until the end. Trust me.

Working on some smooth low-poly 3D tiles, for subterranean environments.
Having trouble with Blender, getting the sharp seams/normals to be shared across different tile shapes. Tricky to get the edges pointing the same kind of forward, but keep the vertical smoothing. Like the general look though!
