Oh for sure, but it's definitely a concern for stuff like this. It's a lot easier for valve to just expect people to pass login info down as a way to pass on an account.

Valve actually migrating purchases from one account to another risks upsetting publishers, and requires whole new policies on how to verify death and verify who should receive the account. Finally there's the risk of scams and having to resolve them. Overall it's a lot of headache for valve, I'm not surprised they're not jumping to offer it officially.

If steam did allow transfers this way, I can imagine it being a new type scam where people fabricate death documents to steal steam accounts.

This is focused more on NASA's problems with the Artemis program, but I highly recommend reading this article.

Basically the whole Artemis mission plan is riddled with issues, and SpaceX and Blue Origin are required to have major breakthroughs in space refueling tech for their required roles to even be possible. With how many different issues the project has, it looks like the only good thing we may get out of the project is these breakthroughs (if they happen).

SpaceX is still making tremendous progress compared to NASA. I'm as annoyed with Musk as everyone else, but it's looking like they're the biggest hope we have right now of actually making progress with space exploration.

A tremendous amount of bloatware and ports of iOS games.

Yeah, stuff like gyro and the trackpads can help, but after decades of playing on PC it's hard to play a shooter without a mouse.

Make sure you don't have "half-rate shading" turned on the the deck battery settings. I do see a protondb report with similar issues, but everywhere else I see the game discussed no one seems to be complaining about it.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah. They probably work fine on the deck too, but they can only verify so many games and those are low priority.

It has some value as a comparison, some people might be worried about buying a deck because they've heard that some games don't work on it because of linux. But no one would think the Switch is lacking in games.

I'll check those out. I've been doing the "steam discovery queue" for awhile now though, and it feels like if you do it enough you won't ever miss anything of interest. I think it can work pretty well for game discovery, you just need to invest some time in it every day to get through all the more "common" recommendations.

According to this website, there are about 11k switch games. There are some duplicates on that list though, games which have multiple "editions" will have an entry under each version. For example, Xenoblade Chronicles DE is listed 4 times to cover different regional collectors editions.
