Don't worry, Valve: I've got your next Deadlock character concepts sorted

The Cursed Apple is ready for Humpty Dumpty and the Loch Ness Monster's Precocious Preteen Child.

Don't worry, Valve: I've got your next Deadlock character concepts sorted

Valve is on the right track with Deadlock, a game that has captured the hearts of gamers with its striking setting, aesthetic, and charming occult character designs. However, there are a few gaps in the roster when it comes to foundational elements of cryptozoology and occult lore. Don't worry, though, because I've got some character concepts up my sleeve that will bring the Cursed Apple's untapped potential to life.

First up is the Summer Mummy, a character introduced in Heathcliff on August 17, 2023. Unlike traditional mummies, the Summer Mummy is chill and fun, wearing floral boardshorts, sunglasses, and eating ice cream. This character will be a cross-promotional opportunity, tapping into the popularity of the Heathcliff brand. Additionally, the minotaur who plays baseball professionally is a fun and mythological addition to the roster.

The Loch Ness Monster's precocious preteen child could also be a hit, given the potential for microtransactions and Scottish accents. Three gnomes in a trench coat could be part of a gnome mafia, and a haunted suit of armor who is a boxer adds to the mix. Lastly, a big spider, either sexy or just a plain old big spider, is a must-have in every video game.

A Bind Mount Hides Existing Container Files; It Does Not Merge with Them

A common misconception about container bind mounts is that mounting a host directory over a container directory combines the contents of both locations. It does not.

  • Bind mount replaces container directory view temporarily
  • Original files stay hidden under bind mount
  • Bind mount does not merge with container directory
