The Cuppa Tea pages has been struck with a bit of a blow. Yesterday I found out that Steam Reviews/Community rules have changed since I have started my pages almost/about 2 years ago.

Two years ago, it was okay to post links to other content/sites as long as you write a review that actually critiques the game and any DLCs. Doing so helped me create traffic to my Cuppa Tea pages.

NOW the rules have changed and you are no longer allowed to advertise your links even if you write an "actual" and "serious" review for the product.

The only real thing I could actually "try" is advertising on Twitter and maybe that will help, but I don't see that being really helpful on here.


So, Today at exactly 10am Central Time I finally had enough money saved and purchased the 1TB Steam Deck. What that means is that In a few months I will be able to host a DECENT game giveaway and because the Steam Deck was so expensive, I was able to procure over 69,000 Steam points which puts me at 88,527 points. With that amount, I am able to reopen my Point(less) Giveaway and I will be able to give points again to first time posters until I get to a certain point (40,000 points) so I can have Steam points for the next Seasonal Badge


- March's curator reviews have been finished since February 13th of this month, I just was under so much stress at the time that I forgot to post the announcement

- Cuppa Tea Fancy Storage (The page that was solely for my personally owned games and DLC) has been deleted. I believe that having 3 page was stretching my abilities too far and I basically stopped using it

- Finally, I will be deleting all of my posted meme on my artwork section, except for the few photos and memes that were created by me.

I want to sign off with a huge THANK YOU to all of my Tea Sommeliers that have kept making this past time worth my while.

This announcement is a bit different then the usual announcements
I make on this board, but I want my Tea Sommeliers to know what I have
been up to lately besides not feeling well mentally.

Starting on the 18th of this month, I started regularly posting my Cuppa Tea reviews to games on Twitter (I refuse to call it by it's new name, I am old leave me be lol) as well as Steam. I have discovered that with my Twitter account, I have a lot of interaction with developers then I do just posting on Steam. No, I am not getting rid of my pages here, but I will be using Twitter more often.

On Twitter, I post screenshots and memes, most of which (but not all) are already on my Steam account but I think I should also use Twitter more just for the one-on-one with developers, and I also post on other stuff sometimes and crack jokes here and there (Like tagging Steve Harvey in a picture of Birdie from Street Fighter V).

My instagram is... just there nowadays and people don't really interact there. I am thinking a picture based social network is wrong for something that is about 75% text and 25% image.

That's really about it in the whole Cuppa Tea Reviews world.

I will be posting some links in the comments, a lot of you know them already but the one I will leave here (it is also on the top of the Curator page) is the Twitter page of Cuppa tea reviews.

I am sorry about my ramblings, I hope I made some sense at 6:58am

Finished the reviews for this month (January) on 1-20-2025

I am sorry I am later than usual on the reviews, I haven't been feeling the best mentally, but the reviews got done... Thankfully

I am sorry for not posting this sooner but I hope everyone had a great Christmas, Holiday, Festivus (For the rest of us), or other celebrated holiday around the Winter season

Stay safe this New Years, and please, if you are going to celebrate the New Years please do it responsibly
