First post! Woot! Gonna try to do these weekly, but you know how that goes ^~^;
I play primarily on Steam Deck, so I’m still trying to figure out what can be comfortable competed on there and editing my goals list for 2023 accordingly. So far, I’ve got 30-ish games and they’re broken into two categories:
- Games I have never played, but want to
- Games I’ve started, but need to clean up the last few achievements.
This weekend, I tackled the clicker game Voodoo Garden. It falls into that second category. All I had left were some of the grindier achievements (collect x amount of this, craft x amount of that) and the longest one was getting to level 30. I was at level 28 when I started, but the entire process still took six hours of mostly idle play. Phew.
Played on SteamCute, casual clicker with a distinct art style. Works okay on Steam Deck, but is better with a mouse as you need finer aim to catch some of those creepy crawlies.
I think these shorter titles are just the small victories I need to gear me up for larger ones. I’m currently playing Wild Hearts on PS5 and that’s been sucking up huge amounts of my time. 23/49 trophies and it’s been a really good time!
Once they add a dedicated photo mode, you better believe I’ll be posting screenshots. Okay, maybe just a couple.

Feeling cute in my doggo headgear, might delete later.
But I digress. This is about Steam backlog x)
I’ve also tried Shantae and the Seven Sirens recently, at the recommendation of a friend. I completely suck at platformers/Metroidvanias, but this has been very accessible! I started in beginner mode and actually found that to be too easy (you can literally one-shot bosses) so I changed it to the classic mode and found it to be possible even for someone as clumsy as me. Haha~ Also digging the primarily female cast, art style, and of course the transformations to solve puzzles. Definitely adding it to my 2023 goals.
Next up for cleanup:
-
Hatoful Boyfriend
-
Corinne Cross's Dead & Breakfast
-
Toadled
That’s all for now! Thanks for reading <3
Hello friend! I like your doggo headgear
Heya, stranger! Thanks xP I added the ribbon for extra cuteness.
Welcome to the site, this is a really great first post - when I started here I had zero ideas about how to use the generator efficiently, so I just threw together something xD !
I will keep an eye on your post since my Steam Deck will (hopefully) arrive tomorrow, so I will be eyeing recommendations on what to play ^^ ! Shantae looks nice, I also suck at platformers, but this looks like something I would try!
P.S. : I also wanted to do weekly posts, but for me, it is way better when an actual desire to write something comes to the surface, rather than forcing myself week-to-week to write something - but hey, it might be different for you :D ! Welcome again!
D’oh. I realize I never hit reply >_< See below.
Thank you! I did some snooping around because I had seen some people had really awesome looking posts and I was like, “How the heck did they do that?” Ooh, I know you’ll love the Deck. It’s such a great option to have in your gaming arsenal. And I’m all about gaming recommendations, so feel free to chat me up on here or on Steam ^^
I know how that goes! I’ll have the best of intentions and then look at it and say “bleh.” Then, radio silence for a while. Haha. I’m also trying to write reviews for the games I play (especially the smaller indie titles) so hopefully everything works kind of hand in hand. Thank you again! And thanks for reading :3
Hatoful Boyfriend! This game is so much “not what it looked like” :D
The doctor especially! My memory is a little fuzzy since it’s been a while since I last played, which I guess is a good thing if I’m going to have to play through again xD
I don’t have many backgrounds on Steam, but this is one of them xD
Fabulous xD
I don’t think I’ve gotten any of the backgrounds, but I could be mistaken… Nope! Just checked. I still have cards to collect >~<
Welcome to BLAEO, Shikikan_Dawn! What a wonderful opening post (with screenshots!). Don’t worry about how frequently you post– whenever the spirit moves you. It should never be a chore or responsibility– it should always be fun and enjoyable!
Good luck with at least getting in some shots on your backlog.
Thanks, Trent :3 I’m hoping this motivates me to complete more games. And thank you for saying that because things can easily start feeling like a chore—even gaming. So far, so good though!
