Just so everyone is aware, it's stupid easy to use any video for the startup animation.
Rename the video and have it replaced the file in the following directory.
~/.steam/root/config/uioverrides/movies/
I'm using a modified PSX intro with Valve branding.
There is also a Decky plug-in that gives very easy access to already tons of startup movies now.
The AVGN one doesn't deserve to in this list. It's kinda shit.
From those in the OPs link, the risk of rain 2 one was the best, that seamless transition from closing the door to the deck logo was great.
Definitely one of the better startup movies.
My favorite is still the one for Vampire Survivors, because I just love the chest animation in the game.
Oh damn, we're back to custom Windows 95 boot screen bitmaps. I had one that did the Matrix digital rain effect.
Thighs vs Watermelon has to be my favorite. The level of awkward looks during a couch co-op session on a Steam Machine 2 will be memorable.
Special delivery all the way for me. I just loooooove to get video games served in my face by a cutie. Thank you valve!
I like the Gordon alyx dunk intro. It goes so hard
And this is how I find out about the Dr Livesey meme that is already 3 years old...
Can We Please Stop Editorial Capitalising Titles - It Is Super Annoying And Adds No Value Nor Does It Make Your Blog More Distinguished.
Totally weird possibility: the author is ~~following the actual grammar rules~~ trying poorly to follow a style guide for capitalization of titles.
Edit: as @hikaru755@lemmy.world pointed out, I totally missed that words were capitalized for which no style guide advises capitalization.
If they were, "are", "of" and "and" likely wouldn't be capitalized.
Also, "the actual grammar rules" are not a thing. There are lots of different style guides for how to capitalize titles, there's no generally accepted "correct" version like there is for most of orthography or regular grammar (but almost all of them have in common to not capitalize the words I mentioned before)
If they were, “are”, “of” and “and” likely wouldn’t be capitalized.
Yep, you're right. I missed those.
There are lots of different style guides
I was reluctant to say anything about Chicago, APA, etc.
But it's a title...
I honestly hadn't even noticed, so I'm surprised it bothered you so much. But I guess I get grumpy about other random bullshit sometimes...
While I agree its not adding anything, I don't get why one gets upset about titlecase for blog post titles. I mean its not like something making it less readable or less indexable or anything like that. So why even ask to stop doing it? Or does it do any harm I'm not aware off (even if its for readable reasons in your opinion). I personally prefer normal case for titles as well, but that is just a preference of mine, not because I see any benefit in doing so.
It's annoying to read. That's why.
Sure, I would understand it if its longer text.
