I have little sympathy for people like the author who knowing all this continue to give content to that site. And I don’t care about their excuses.
If you don’t like that the new owner has turned your favorite pub into a nazi bar then maybe you should stop spending your money there.
I’ve been using NetGuard for many years to block net access for apps that shouldn’t need it. I haven’t noticed any impact on battery life and haven’t run into issues other than what one might expect (for example when it turns out that the blocked app refuses to run without network access)
Didn’t know about RethinkDNS, looks neat, will give it a try sometime.
newpipe can play offline files I’m pretty sure
Don’t think that this is true (unless we are talking about a fork that I am not familiar with). The FAQ has an entry on this and mentions that you need to use an external player. I use mpv and VLC.
I think links should be fine and useful in this case, I’d just avoid affiliate tags and such.
Not a huge fan of inserts and I end up tossing them more often than not but the basic Res Aracana insert is one that I find exemplary. It doesn’t make the box larger than it needs to be, it has room for both expansions and most importantly it serves as an ergonomic storage tray during the game.
I’ve seen third party inserts that looked tempting but they were too expensive and organized things differently from the way I liked. In particular I like to bag together everything that a given player color needs for their setup, that way I can just hand everybody their own bag for their personal setup.
My favorite accessories are a couple of very cheap sectioned trays that I use as component trays for almost every game and some simple card holders for games that need it.
I picked this up about 2 months ago. Took me about 100 hours before I could put it down.
Backpack Battles. It’s an inventory management based auto-battler. Chill game and I like spatial puzzle a lot.
The game uses the Godot engine and it runs great on the deck. The UI is very smooth and thoughtfully designed.
A neat thing about the battle system is that it’s fully asynchronous. No matchmaking delay and it even works offline. I believe it works by preloading a number of opponent-builds at the beginning of the run.
Nice, now just another year to go while they fix it to run well on the Steamdeck.
Just don’t end up as the this guy

I will try to live by these rules IRL too.
Thanks for the excellent review!
Do you think that the early encounters will feel samey in repeated replays? StS is a “slow” deckbuilder in the sense that you don’t acquire new cards every round but only after encounters so you go through your starting deck a few times before you really start seeing new cards. This is fine in digital StS since it plays so fast but I wonder how early game feels on the table. How many rounds do early encounters typically take?
Just doing Cave Spinner things.
