seems like preorders have opened too

Hey Skongers,

To celebrate Silksong’s release, I’m giving away 10 keys. My plan is to buy Steam keys but if you want a different platform, mention that in your comment and I will see what I can do.

I have lurked this community for over a year but wanted to do something that helps more people enjoy the game we’re so hyped to play. As a parent to two small kids, I don’t get to play video games that often, and I think sharing these keys is a better use of my money than just adding more unused games to my shelf.

How to enter:

-Comment below (tell me why you’re excited for Silksong or anything fun).

-Winners will be picked based on a mix of randomness and compelling comments.

-I’ll DM winners and update this post once everything’s distributed.

Thanks for reading - Silksong tomorrow!

(edit: spacing was weird on mobile)

I dont think my Wife can hold out much longer guys

Pretty ironic in a way

What does this mean? He just keep posting on discord !

I have been playing adventure games for a long time (since mid 90s). They have fallen off my radar during the last 15 years or. Recently, I only played Return to Monkey Island due to nostalgic reasons and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Last month I saw the review thread for The Drifter with some great reviews and bought it on a whim on my Steam Deck. Started playing it last week, and couldn’t put it down. It is one of best adventure games I have played in a really long while. Actually, it is one of the best game I have played this year. It is so good.

The game hooks you from the beginning. The voice acting is superb. The story till the end is gripping, and puzzles are extremely logical. The game is divided into short chapters that keep you motivated to finish and then continue playing. It is such a great accomplishment by a small team in Australia. I was pleasantly surprised that the game was made in Unity and developers actually advertised the asset used to make the …

The title is not clickbait. Last September in Copenhagen, I was at my first-ever Dota tournament, TI. The energy was insane, but after the Grand Final ended, I felt like the celebration couldn’t be over just yet.

So, on a whim, with my brain completely melted by euphoria, I got a crazy idea: crash the official afterparty.

I had no invitation, no contacts, and I didn’t even know where it was. I found out it was being held in the players’ hotel, strictly invite-only. What followed was a solid hour of social engineering, trying to talk my way past security, and approaching team managers who rightfully asked me, “dude, who are you?”.

Somehow, I actually got in.

I won’t share anything overly personal or malicious that could get anyone in trouble, but I’m happy to share all the fun stories and answer your questions about the vibe of the night.

So, with that said, Ask Me Anything!

Hey everyone,

Just ready to release my second TI team analysis. Full break down of their drafting, playstyle, strategies, player’s role within the team, etc etc…
I round it up with a full replay breakdown, after everything else has been dissected, so you realize how much you’ve learned about that team, and how reading them becomes easier.

Here’s the link :

Team Falcons - Hero specialists

The first one I release a few days ago was about Team Spirit, which you can find here :

Team Spirit, full team analysis by Ceb

I read most of the comments in the last thread and tried to improve what I could here and there, I hope it’s good enough.

I am truly enjoying building this content, and I hope it adds value and hype to the upcoming TI, as I know it’s always been our favorite part of the year.

I’ll try to get as many teams in as possible before the event starts / conclude, but this is taking way longer than I expected 😚

Anyways, have a good …

Hello all - if you haven’t seen, heard, or been griefed in a pub by me, I’m Malibujesus. I’d like to start off by thanking the community for supporting me over the past couple years in my path as a caster. I’m looking to return that support of the community by participating in the Crimson Witness TI Ticket Donation Initiative.

I am donating four tickets (two to day one, two to day two) for anybody that is trying to attend The International. I cannot attend this year, but I wish to pass the joy of being in the arena to others (just cheer for Liquid and Wildcard, okay? Spirit don’t need it, Yatoro’lldoitagain).

Joining the Crimson Witnesses on a whim was one of the best decisions I’ve made when it comes to online/IRL gaming communities (the bar is on the floor though, I’m not delusional). Working as a volunteer and sharing the passion developed from years of playing by putting in sweat, time, and tears (of joy) helped me bond with others …

YESSSS Something I can actually wear. Love to see it - So I made some fanart.

It’s thoughtful Dota2 content design - simple and clean. No stupidly obvious/titular text or branding, subtle enough refs to wearable publicly but they’re still clear nods for the gamers. Nothing too cringe. Tsunami’s a BAMF for making & dropping solid dota merch ~ rare.

I hope we’ll get to see a third season.

2023: Topson stood in for saksa

2024: Saksa stood in for 9class

2025: Tobi will stand in for whitemon

Got really cool designs, really fun gameplay, there’s something for everyone, feels like the game is truly finding its special sauce.

Got many archetypes that were missing in one go.

So happy to see this.

This is such a big milestone for me as a game developer intern at Valve. Never thought I would make it this far in life.

It was 2AM, I was sleep deprived, playing bot games, and listening to Les Claypool, and it just hit me that we don’t have a Jazz musician hero, so I gave it a go at designing one!

Meet Baptisé Blú, a Jazz Musician from Hells Kitchen who desperately wants to play the song that plays in his head but can’t seem to get even close to how beautiful it sounded in his head. Did some questionable dealings, made the electric bass, weird deals and stuff, and still, not even close. When he heard about the ritual and the Patron’s promises of a wish, it was a no brainer for Baptisé to join the fray.

I’d imagine him to be this fragile and slow moving charact with emphasis on controls, AOE, and prolong fights, getting in the groove kinda thing.

Let me know what you guys think!
