Next it would be awesome if the link preview (meta tags) were optimized for a landing page:
- Why not include a nice steam deck frame on the preview image, instead of the default capsule? (or let us override)
- Meta title and description are currently identical

These new "deck verified" landing pages on the steam store look pretty neato! The big embedded trailer gives a good sense of scale too.
Thanks @steampowered.com 💜

forgot to update this after testing apparently.... so this elite enemy had 1 QUADRILLION hitpoints and I'm wondering "why doesn't the health bar update when I hit it?"
I blame the heat 🫠

I like to imagine that my Ropuka has a scorpion-embroidered jacket in his day job, then chills and does yard work in the afternoons.
"Anything a minute on either side of that and you're on your own. I don't sit in while you're running it down. I don't carry a gun. I drive."

She's the best! This custom lamp with my datablob studio mascot was also part of my launch gift pack. Needless to say, I was very touched. 🥹
And my office is so much cooler now.

"Hey. Nice video you've got there. Would be a shame if something happened to its reach?"
Is that the vibe this offer is supposed to give? 😅
One can hope #bsky grows to a level where I can ignore the abyss that is TikTok, but for now as an #indiedev it would be tough without it.
