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 rulestrying 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)

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.

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.
Yeah I’ve read too many Decky horror stories. I’m not giving my Steam Deck AIDS to change the startup animation.

I mean, you do you, but the AIDS comparison is quite tasteless.
It was. I have no taste.
Serious Decky issues are rare. Usually when decky breaks, it just disappears from the deck until you manually reinstall/update it.
More rarely, a plugin will break steamOS. This gives a “Steam/Decky” has encountered a problem screen, with buttons to check for a decky update, disable Decky until next reboot, or uninstall the plugin that caused the crash. This is more serious, but is still extremely easy for users to deal with and get back to a working device.
I can’t remember if there was ever a point where Decky broke worse than that, but generally it’s pretty safe, especially if you’re on stable SteamOS.
Oh damn, we’re back to custom Windows 95 boot screen bitmaps. I had one that did the Matrix digital rain effect.
I like the Gordon alyx dunk intro. It goes so hard
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.
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!
And this is how I find out about the Dr Livesey meme that is already 3 years old…
