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.

Gideon Levy: »Most of #Israel's Protest Movement Only Cares About the Lives of the #Gaza Hostages – Not of Palestinians.
Opposing total evil, one must stand for total humanity, which is almost non-existent in Israel. If it were fully moral, the protest movement would make its main concern the struggle against #genocide, along with the campaign for the release of the hostages«

himla roligt!
Var många nya på det här med mastodon och fediversum?
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

Il video mostra un evento all'aperto in una location costiera, probabilmente un porto, con palme e yacht visibili sullo sfondo. La scena è animata da una folla numerosa di persone riunite intorno a un palco, dove si svolge un evento, probabilmente un concerto. Il palco è dotato di attrezzature audiovisive, tra cui grandi altoparlanti e luci, e una persona in un abito bianco è visibile sul palco, suggerendo che potrebbe essere una cantante o un artista. La folla è composta da persone di diverse età e stili, alcuni dei quali sono seduti, altri in piedi, e molti sembrano essere intenti a guardare il palco. Alcuni individui sono in piedi vicino al palco, mentre altri sono più distanti, e alcune persone stanno scattando foto o video con i loro telefoni. La presenza di una persona in uniforme, probabilmente un membro della sicurezza, indica che l'evento è ben organizzato. La folla appare entusiasta e coinvolta, con alcuni individui che si muovono e interagiscono tra loro. Il video cattura l'atmosfera vivace e festosa dell'evento, con la folla che si muove e interagisce, creando un'atmosfera di divertimento e coinvolgimento.

The simplest way to live within planetary boundaries is to have your community derive as much of its basic needs from its own territory free of external inputs Think about it if you lived on an hectare of land and grew all your food managed all of your water cycle, gathered your construction materials managed with tools that relatively free of intensive dependency on a supply chain, you are living within planetary boundaries by definition
