Announcement

Posting this here for everyone that’s not subscribed to the “BLAEO Announcements!” thread.

The guidelines have been updated and are now pinned in the Discussions section of the Steam group.

The new guidelines are:

1) Be nice.
2) When posting content, it should respect the privacy and rights of others.
3) Piracy, pornography, or any other material that may be inappropriate to a general audience should not be posted to the site.
4) While the site gives you a lot of freedom for writing posts, do not abuse that. Keep your posts related to gaming and try to keep your posts readable. Also, if your post has too many large screenshots, try embedding only one of them and linking the others, or reducing their size, or use HTML to come up with a creative way to alternate between them.
5) Do not spam.
6) Do not double post.
7) Do not beg users for gifts or ask for any kind of donations.
8) External links are fine as long as they do not contain referrals. If you want to promote your own website or any kind of project, you can include it in one of your regular posts only once (see guideline number 5). You can have the link displayed on your profile, but don’t try to circumvent this particular guideline by repeatedly telling people to look at your profile to check out your website/project.
9) Do not enter group-exclusive giveaways if you have not been active lately. If you do, you will be kicked out of the group.
10) Once you apply for Steam group membership do not keep asking for updates on your application.

I also did some late spring cleaning and deleted:

  • my SG account. My profile is still visible at this moment, but should disappear soonish. I stopped using SG at the end of October and in these last 8 months I never felt the need to log in again so it made sense to finally delete 7 years of my activity (joined on Oct 8 2011 & made 11120 comments) and take control of my data/personal info.
  • 60 games from my Steam library. I’ve been using this website a lot in the last few months to find games that qualify for the monthly themes. Unfortunately one of the main side effects of using that tool is realising that I own too many games that I either a) don’t even know I have, b) never want to play. The most obvious “the heck is this thing” ones are now gone!

I kept hearing how I should play Jalopy because it’s a great game and recently a friend of mine posted a positive review for it on Steam…. It also qualified for the monthly theme so hey, why not finally give it a go! Unfortunately it’s the least fun I’ve had in a game in a looooong long time. :I It’s buggy (not to be confused with these since they’re actually kinda cool), the driving isn’t that fun, the parts of the game not related to driving aren’t that fun, the days are far too short (why does it get dark so quickly, it doesn’t make sense) and have I mentioned it’s buggy? 78% of the reviews on Steam are positive, though, so maybe I’m just missing something?

January theme - list of games

The monthly theme includes games that we most enjoyed playing in 2018. It doesn’t matter what the game’s release year is - what matters is that you played it in 2018 and enjoyed it so much that you would like to see other assassins experience it too. You can nominate up to 10 games.

The list also includes the winners of the BLAEO Game awards 2018.
