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!
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…
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!
Not OP but it could be ProtonDB for Steam:
I personally haven’t used these myself but if you have Decky installed on your Steam Deck I can recommend the ProtonDB Badges plugin!
Totally understandable to be honest! As I’ve gotten older I’ve felt like I have less time to invest in games and before getting a Steam Deck I was barely playing anything.
Games on a trip with no internet sounds ideal though, I hope you have a good time!
I actually hadn’t seen that community, there was an older one than I’m a part of but it’s not as active so thanks for sharing! My wallet will also suffer in solidarity 😅
Haha, I guess I’m glad to be an influence for better or worse! I would say Crypt of the Necrodancer is less of a traditional rhythm game and more of a game where you act on the beat but it offers a lot of gameplay if you’re into that. I find it satisfying in a similar way at least! Do you have any rhythm games you can recommend?
I would love a new Rhythm Heaven game! I did see that this party rhythm game was announced for Switch recently but I’m not sure that it’s really what I’m looking for: https://youtu.be/-RhYKb0IzNs
Agreed, I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed the soundtrack! I’ve had it on repeat on Spotify but I wish they had versions with the in-game sound effects too.
I’m surprised to see there’s so many fellow rhythm game fans here, I’m glad you enjoyed the recommendation! The only issue with the game as I said is that it’s not long at all so perhaps plan to bring a few more rhythm games too 😅 You might like Crypt of the Necrodancer if you haven’t already played it!
Great recommendation! I’ve been playing this a lot recently and it feels like the perfect kind of game for the Deck since it’s so easy to pick up and play in short sessions. It’s also got so much to offer that the gameplay doesn’t get repetitive quickly. A tip is that there are community layouts for the Steam Deck where some of the more annoying button mashing is mapped to macros on the back grips. Definitely a nice feature for sanity and button longevity reasons!

So I’ve done a small amount of testing this morning and had the same drop in battery over the same amount of time with it on vs with it off. I’d say you’re probably right that it’s only a few percent!
Good question! I assume there’s some trade-off but I haven’t properly tested it yet since I was just excited to see it working properly. I can try running some experiments tomorrow.
Thanks for that replacement mini crossword recommendation, I’ve only done today’s but I really like it already!
