, because, the advice itself is solid but it comes with some factors.
So! Let's refine the bullet points.
#1
: Stop *spamming* your game in the replies of other Devs Wishlist Wednesday / Trailer
How to escape Indie Dev Twitter:
1. Stop posting on Screenshot Saturday, Wishlist Wednesday, Trailer Tuesday, etc.
2. Interact with gamers, writers, streamers, not game devs.
3. Focus on creating valuable content.
It's really that easy.

Tips on how to do Steam Next Fest right as a Dev?? 🙃
Don't Do It, Unless It's Ready: Devs... you might not want to hear this... but don't put out a Next Fest demo unless you're really proud of what you're presenting, and it's a seamless/mostly bug-free experience 🚫
Make Sure
If you're going to post a tweet that offends your community, then apologize in a half hearted way, then what's the point?
As a game dev... You need to decide if you're going to cater to the adult NSFW / 18+ crew, or if you want to appeal to the more wholesome and casual crew.
