Dota 2 players, it’s not your keyboards chattering—it’s Valve with a silly snake joke

If you played a match of Dota 2 today and panicked midway that the “S” key of your keyboard is going kaput, you can rest easy. It’s not your keeb. It’s Valve with a silly Year of the Snake Easter egg.

Jan 29’s Dota 2 update had the “Charms of the Snake’”treasure dropped to the game, accompanied by a blog post with serpentine humor. Since then, though, if you have tried to use the in-game text chat, you’d see your single “S” keypress, resulting in three S’s showing up on the screen. As did a large cohort of Dota 2 players who gathered in a Reddit thread to ruminate on Valve’s silly prank.
