To understand dota esports you first have to spend 3k hours to get an idea what's going on.
So no

If you backed the BLM and/or Palestinian Aid bundle on Itch.io, then you have another 1270 to 2700 games to pick from
Shit, you reminded me of the weird rpg, err, checking itch... Boreal Tenebrae.If you backed the BLM and/or Palestinian Aid bundle on Itch.io, then you have another 1270 to 2700 games to pick from
First backlog pass done, 258 games.
I think it is a rather liberating thought. When you think about it, it is a privileged position to have companies fight for your attention.
Just make sure that they do not manage to invert the positions somehow, and make you work for them for free. You pay with your time and money, so whenever you grind in a game which you don't enjoy, you actually pay for that. Cut down all of these tricks, and stay in the privileged position of the chooser.

Also Batman, I mean Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad news tomorrow.
For me its simple, I know what kind of games I don't like and what kind of games I do like. I no longer feel I need to play a game more that I just play something I want. I rather play one game for a long time that I like than several well regarded games that I should play.
More precisely, I can't play linear games so that is a lot of games that I can just ignore. But games I do like are usually time sinks, like RPGs and open world. So I made peace with playing just a few games every year.

I rather play games that I know I will have fun with, than sweating about finding the next game that is fun.
Meanwhile, I watch Let's plays and streams from games that I don't play or intend to play ( on the second PC, while I play my evergreens) and sometimes it is a game that I find interesting gameplay-wise and will buy that and check it out like I did with Project Zomboid.
And you want to buy even more games!
If I may make a suggestion, since I suffer from the same problem (huge backlog, and I frequently can't decide what to play), I did something a while back that helped me both cut back on my purchases, and also help me (somewhat) decide what to play.
I created a new category in my library, and then I went through my owned games, and I added to it the "top shelf" games (the games that were well received, the games that I really wanted to play when I bought them, but ended up "forgetting" about them, ...). On this category, in order not to excessively "crowd it", when I have multiple games in a series (say, various Yakuza sequels) I only list the first game that I'm yet to play, and when I complete it, I remove it, and replace it with the next entry.
Then... when I check this category for ideas on what to play, I use the view that shows their cover/vertical capsule art.
Essentially, what I ended up with is like a "virtual shelf" of sorts, and my process of selecting games became a bit like when I used to hang around VHS rental clubs, looking at the pretty artwork in the covers, and selecting what to rent next by how good their covers looked.
But seriously, it's surprisingly effective, especially since some of these games have lovely cover/vertical capsule artwork. It puts you in the mood to play these games. And with 1500+ games, you're sure to have selections from pretty much every genre.
And, when I'm thinking about buying new games, I frequently take a look at this list and their covers, I find unplayed games that appeal more to me than the new ones, and I end up saving a few €. It really helped me cut back on my purchases.
Yeah, like Li Kao wrote, I did the same and it has helped me a lot with my backlog. It's much easier to have a curated backlog to find out what to play next.
Yo, this Rift Breaker looks like a seriously good time.
Hey folks, I need your expertise with nvidia profile inspector.
I was trying to change some settings following a guide but the value I should change is greyed out.
How do I solve this?
The last one is greyed out:
edit: solved updating nvidia inspector

I guess most members here are just more focused on single player games. And those who play Dota often only play Dota and so they hang on some Dota forum.
Naraka Bladepoint also seems to be a very Asia focused game. Only 7.500 out of 48.000 reviews are in "my languages". Still fairly popular in the west then but not massively so.
I love me some multiplayer but there are always some bad apples who make me hesitant to play with randoms.
I mean, if we forget for a moment the dozen games I couldn't fit on the SSD and that are nagging at me, this looks good. Missing Wasteland 3, but I have yet to buy it, so there is that.
Li Kao Village or Disco. Depends if you want action or slower game.

What's this? Tim Cooke sounds like Apple's CEO addict brother.
I don't think this has been mentioned but Valve updated their not-allowed-content guidelines to include NFTs and Cryptocurrencies as elements that are not allowed to be on the Steam ecosystem, so yeah, don't expect blockchain based products on the store anytime soon. (Good, if you ask me)
I recently saw a Josh Strife Hays video regarding Tale of Toast, and that had some weird cryptomining shit running in the background while you played...

I don't understand how blockchain is the future for games
PR speak for "we want to make money off this so we're gonna say its the future to paint it as inevitable and any naysayers are irrelevant."
"Selling your kidney is the future of medicine." Says someone in need of a kidney.
"Privatizing all state-owned equities is the future of Government." Says the Neoliberal.
That's because it isn't. It is a convenient way to scam people out of their money though, and as such I'm sure we'll see lots more "promising" applications of it.
Good on Valve for actually getting ahead of the flood in this case.

You have game exes on your desktop?
It’s complicated
Historically correct but in this case the definitive 1-2 games I will play weren’t decided and I went for simplicity.
How do you launch your games ? Steam library ? Windows 10 tile ?

I just open Steam, Steam opens the library when I click on it on the taskbar. Im always logged in when Im on my PC.

Command prompt then type in the "steam://AppID" to launch it. It's how you should be doing it if you're learning about terminals and consoles and command prompts.
I'm lying. I'm not a total psycho! I use launchers or maybe shortcuts in a folder like normal people. If i had to i would create a folder on the desktop with the game shortcuts in it so i don't have a cluttered desktop.
Oh... I would enjoy the heck out of watching The International. It was one of those (maybe the third) that launched me in my "dark" time of 2700+ hours of solo-queueing for games of Dota 2.I kinda feel bad for you Wok as you keep talking about The International but doesn't seem to be anyone here that follows (or in my case understands) the e-sports scene
I was able to quit "cold turkey" but it wasn't easy. It is not that I wasn't having fun.... it is just that it completely consumed my gaming time (and maybe even more than that).
I really enjoy being able to play and finish other games today... but every time I take a peek at one International it doesn't take long for me to think "playing one game to see how things are now couldn't hurt....".
So let's just say it's best for me to avoid them

Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit.
Start on keyboard, type the game, enter. Or right click the steam icon on taskbar for recent games I've played.
Well, double clicking the desktop shortcut is faster and more convenient. Too bad on windows they're mad ugly.
But I have over 30 games installed, I don't want 30 more desktop shortcuts.
Let's see if they end up on Steam sooner rather than later.

I know, I've over 400 games. Just saying it's faster and convenient (and ugly). And probably helps you to directly play a game rather than mulling over which games you want to play (like me
)
30? lol!
I have ~110 Steam games installed apparently, 30 odd in GoG, about 10 in Itch and one each for Origin ( Mass Effect Legendary ) and 1 for Ubisoft ( Fenyx ) and a couple of standalone games too. There's no way i'm putting all those on my desktop either, lol!
By the way, Anime Tetris is still up on Steam which actually surprises me!

You can put shortcuts in a folder then put that on the taskbar as a toolbar and you'll get a button and when you click it opens a nice tidy list of the contents (sort however) not much unlike Steam's small view library which is the one I use (then just one click opens them,so you still do 2 clicks total). I used that pre-Steam and when I had many non-Steam non-other-launcher games installed (and I actually played games, lol). Now I just have them on the start bar, again as a "folder" of games (Thief 2's shortcut difference annoys me so much and I can't seem to fix it no matter what, the printer shortcut with the light blue is similar):
Sample of the taskbar toolbar method, couldn't bother putting more shortcuts for the pic:

Kitty scratched my 400 dollars monitor. Feels good.
I apparently have 672 games installed. Granted, a lot are smaller titles gauging by when I sort on size on disk. I keep hoping for cheaper, large SSD storage.
I should note, I started installing and not uninstalling games a long time ago after I went about 3-4 months with no internet in 2018. We were literally having to rent movies from a physical rental store. After that experience I got a 6tb HDD just to be able to keep a plethora of games on hand at all times haha

Only 1 coupon? There is no fun in that. Peopled liked coupons because you got another one after you used it.
I think this is more a "please log in to check your preferences so we can increase our MAU numbers for the end of year chart" kind of deal
They started downscaling operation?
Also Rockstar will now offer 10$ off their store for purchasing Trilogy there.
On your next purchase. :meatsad: Rockstar is not as generous as Tim.
False alarm, sorry everyone, screen was duly cleaned and I don't see the scratches anymore. Strange to have dirty marks like that on a monitor but I won't complain.
Makes Kena 30 euros. But then again, even if I get past my negative trust in Epic, there is the time factor. I already don't have the time to play every game that interests me, so adding one from a shitty storefront...
Lol at that 16GB RAM requirement XD

I'm glad to hear it.
And, don't be too hard on kitty, that's their annoying, sadistic way of showing they care.
When I got married, my wife brought her cat along (all my life, I had dogs; this is my first cat), and while she isn't very sociable, she loves to annoy me.
If she wants food, and I ignore her, she climbs up my desk, starts messing with my papers, or goes sharpening her nails on the boxes I have around with Blu-Ray films.
She knows that gets my attention.
