Nothing. My GPU is in for RMA.
I WANT to play Deadlock.
…
Actually, I have a steamdeck, so I’ve been tackling an MGR playthrough on revengeance difficulty. But holy crap the Deadlock withdrawal is real.

This looks really cool. I have completely missed the lead up to this game, anything in particular you’re excited about it? I’d love to hear it.

Everything?
It has the complexity of a MOBA (but genius level UX that completely addresses how that would normally be daunting, through a fantastic community item build system), movement approaching the intensity of Titanfall and a match format that finally fills the hole in my heart that was left by Battleborn, and is maybe even better.
It has a a unique 80-s magic/fantasy aethestic, and what we know the lore so far is fantastic. (I laughed out loud when walking by a radio in-game and a newscaster voice went “Have love potions ruined dating?! These 20-somethings tell all!”)
My advice, hit up !deadlock@sopuli.xyz, get an invite, and give it a try. The way it’s looking, it might turn out my favorite game of all time.

Oh thanks, this does look pretty killer. I haven’t gotten into a MOBA in a while but something fresh and different could tempt me. I’ll add this to my queue!

MOBA is an accurate description of the game systems, but playing it, it feels like the first genuinely fresh game in a decade.
To me, at least.
