GHOST OF THE DICED STEAK just dropped on Steam yesterday—and it might be one of the strangest puzzle platformers I’ve ever laid eyes on.
I can’t even tell you if it’s “good” in the conventional sense. But with a premise this off-the-wall, how could I not bring it up? And honestly, my words won’t do it justice, so here’s Steam’s own copy:
This is a game where you control a diced steak and aim for the goal located deep within each stage. But it’s not just any diced steak. This steak has the power to create ghosts. These ghosts replicate your past actions and can be strategically used to overcome obstacles.
Yeah. You’re literally a cube of marbled beef spawning ghost clones of yourself. The ghosts come in two flavors: ones you summon on command, and ones that appear when you die. Stack those right and you can pull off not just double jumps—but triple and even quadruple jumps with the right timing. It’s absurd.
The structure is simple: one big stage broken into six areas, fourteen checkpoints in total. Depending on your patience, you’re looking at somewhere between 1–5 hours of playtime. Four difficulties (Easy, Normal, Hard, and the wonderfully named “1STEAK”) keep it spicy, with skins that unlock as you climb.
And because you’re still meat, you cook if you touch hot surfaces. Go from rare to well-done and it’s game over. Stay pink in the middle if you want to make it to the end.
Price? About three bucks (C$3.89 here). Controller support? Both Xbox and PlayStation gamepads work fine. Features beyond that? Pretty sparse.
But come on: a physics-driven steak platformer with ghost mechanics, designed by a Japanese dev, retailing for the cost of a coffee. Ever since Steam caught on in Japan, we’ve been getting these gloriously unhinged little experiments. Diced steak as a protagonist? Sure. Ghosts of diced steak? Now you have my full undivided attention.

The video begins with a man sitting on a black plastic stool, wearing a dark gray tank top with white text and light gray shorts. A woman, dressed in a black top and patterned shorts, is standing behind him, applying a white strip to his armpit. The man's left arm is raised, and he appears to be in discomfort as the woman pulls the strip. The man reacts by leaning backward, causing the stool to tip over, and he falls to the floor, landing on his back. A small dog is seen in the background, near a pink pet bed with red and white bedding. The man is now on the floor, with the stool overturned beside him, and the dog is partially inside the pet bed.
The scene continues with the man still on the floor, his legs bent and feet off the ground, with the overturned black plastic stool beside him. The small dog remains in the pink pet bed, partially inside it. The man appears to be in a state of discomfort or surprise, with his legs slightly raised. The background remains consistent, showing a plain white wall and a tiled floor. The video concludes with the man still on the floor, the stool beside him, and the dog in the pet bed, maintaining the same positions as before.

Vad fick ni för reaktioner?
@samuel Nja, inte så jättemånga, och de som kom hade ändå hört om mastodon innan, om än inte nödvändigtvis använt det.
Jag tror att det var mycket information, men att mycket av det som fediversumet gör annorlunda än de kommersiella alternativen uppskattades.

Devid Ciampalini, con la sua Ambient Noise Session, dà forma ad una raccolta musicale molto interessante. Nel dicembre 2023 inizia a lavorare sul vasto panorama sperimentale toscano, che prende forma e si suddivide tra piccole province e paesi, molti dei quali isolati da ogni tipo di scena o movimento culturale. Diventando una specie di antropologo mette insieme ventitré progetti musicali, alcuni dei quali conosciuti, altri sconosciuti e difficilmente reperibili

Prendetevi un momento di pace.
Tutto quanto passerà e andrà via.
Come la schiuma della birra.
Released yesterday, Backfire is what happens when an arcade cabinet gets possessed and decides to eat you alive. It’s a horror-themed shooter where your weapons only fire backwards.
But that’s not the only trick. Your ship won’t stop moving. The only way to steer is by frantically clicking where you want it to drift. Hug a wall and you’ll bleed health fast. Let an enemy catch you and it’ll try to swallow you whole—at which point you need to hammer click your way free. It’s a constant dance of close-quarters panic: get in tight enough to blast enemies with your stubby backward shots, but not so close that they chomp you.
Having played the demo, I can say it’s tense and clever. Die-upgrade-repeat is the loop here: every ten-minute run drops souls, and those souls unlock new weapons like flamethrowers, shotguns, and snipers (all backwards, of course). It’s a roguelite, but one with its own nasty arcade flavor.
Visually? Sparse neon minimalism. Which makes it all the stranger that the system requirements list a Zen 2 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and an RDNA2 GPU on Linux. Windows is much more modest—an i5 and a GTX 750 minimum—but even then, I suspect the devs didn’t bother testing on weaker setups.
Controls are clearly designed for mouse. You can play it with an Xbox pad, but it doesn’t feel right—click-to-move is too baked into the core design.
As for platforms: Windows and SteamOS/Linux run it natively (no Proton workaround required). Sorry, Mac players, you’re out of luck.
Price? C$9.74 at launch, with a 25% discount running until mid-September. For something this original, that’s more than reasonable.
How to send a DM on Mastodon:
1. Start a new post
2. Set post visibility to "Mentions" or "Private Mentions" or "Only people I mention" or "Specific people" (phrase depends on which app or interface you're using)
3. Mention account addresses of people you want to DM
4. Write the DM
5. Post it
NOTE: Like most social networks Mastodon DMs aren't end-to-end encrypted, so you should not use them for sensitive info.

@mkj
I do mention that in the linked guide in a dedicated section with a ⚠️ sign, but had difficulty getting it to fit in the post's character limit 😅
p.s. The "Mentions" visibility that DMs use means that any account mentioned will see the post.
If you want to discuss someone else's account in DMs, you should not mention its account address because it will show that post to that account.
If you absolutely have to discuss someone else's address in DMs, you might want to break the address by replacing its @ symbols with the word AT for example.
Group chats in DMs are quite common so there might be a danger of frequent false positives causing people to ignore the warning completely or want it switched off.
I guess there could be a warning if an account is added after the chat has already started, but I don't know how easy it is to code?
