Thanks for that replacement mini crossword recommendation, I’ve only done today’s but I really like it already!

Dota 2 player telling TI7 winner that he's not good enough for TI in c/dontyouknowwhoiam@lemmy.world
[–] EK13@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Yeah I’m with you, the only time I had fun playing Dota was back in the day when I was playing with friends who weren’t toxic. I know it’s not the only game with that problem but it’s a shame!

Dota 2 player telling TI7 winner that he's not good enough for TI (lemmy.world)
 

A bit of context for anyone who hasn’t played Dota 2: Here a player (Rainino) is telling another player (Gh) that he’s good at the character he played (ES/Earth Spirit) but not nearly good enough to compete at the biggest Dota 2 tournament in the world (TI/The International). Gh then replies that if the other player were to check their game there is a digital copy of the tournament’s trophy with his name on it since he was on the team that most recently won at the time (with a shared prize pool of over $10,000,000).

This screenshot was posted by Rainino themselves on the Dota 2 subreddit but I thought it fit perfectly here!

Under Meredith Whittaker, Signal Is Out to Prove Surveillance Capitalism Wrong in c/technology@lemmy.world

Just to add to this, I also like to use the “donate for a friend” option to gift friends a donation to Signal on their birthdays. It’s also $5 but a one-off thing, they get a neat badge for 60 days and perhaps it raises awareness of the donation option a little bit!

The music control Decky plugin (and possibly some other plugins) is causing Steam OS to not load properly and should be uninstalled. in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

Thanks a lot for sharing this! Decky plugins often break after a Steam OS update, which is understandable, but a bootloop is more trouble than I’m looking for right now…

Nightmare Kart for Steam Deck in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz
[–] EK13@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Thanks for the heads-up! For anyone that’s confused like I was, turns out this is the same game as Bloodborne Kart, just changed enough for legal purposes. Considering it started out as an April Fool’s joke, it seems really high quality so far and I’m appreciating all the Bloodborne references!

Hi everyone, I'm really grateful for this community but I wanted to see more content here so I thought I'd try to keep the ball rolling myself.

My intention here isn't to reveal some obscure hidden gems but to share my experiences with games from my library that I enjoy specifically on the Steam Deck. If people like this kind of content I plan to share more games over time and hopefully inspire others to do the same!

Today's focus is the game GRIS. You can find it on Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/683320/GRIS/

  • Steam Deck Verified ✅
  • ProtonDB rating: Gold
  • How Long To Beat (Main Story): 3.5 hours
  • Biggest Steam sale discount (3 months): -75%
  • Size on disk: 3.25GB
  • Battery drain after 30 mins (max brightness, WiFi off, 60fps): 8%
  • Single Player
  • Full controller support

This game is a beautiful, tranquil puzzle platformer. Every frame of the game feels like artwork and even in handheld mode the game looks stunning. I will say that on the Deck's screen size, it can be a little bit hard to see the character at times and the game really thrives when hooked up to a bigger screen.

Gameplay is slow paced with a focus on exploration and puzzle solving so it may not be to everyone's liking but it's worth checking out if you are looking for a more relaxed experience and enjoy the art style!
