I made a @zotero Translator for @Steam - for retrieving citation metadata for Steam games (title, release date, developers, publishers, platforms, tags, URL). If interested I made a repo for documentation & testing before submitting to the Zotero github.com/cmiltiadis/Steam-…
Repo includes documentation, instructions, metadata fields, and test references. I also happened to provide a reference to the 2019 @DiGRA_org paper on referencing videogames by @Gua_Le_Ni, @doktorplirtz, and @JonasLinderoth.

I'm going to publish 2,337,229 new articles to celebrate the date. They will be available on the website in a few hours (how about the lawsuit in India you may ask: our lawyers say that restriction is expired already)
Have been into the so-called boomer/movement/retro -shooters both for entertainment and research puproses.
Will cast yet another vote to Dusk/ @DUSKdev and @ULTRAKILLGame both published by @NewBlood. Seems its the golden age of #fps. Haven't had that much fun since the mid 90s!

This is my candid letter of resignation to my Harvard Dean. I try to tell the unvarnished truth about the decadence in our market-driven universities! Let us bear witness against this spiritual rot!
