The steam deck has sold a couple million units as a dedicated gaming device with significantly less power than most gaming laptops, and plenty of us use it as their primary gaming device perfectly happily.

You don't need it persistently hooked up to a monitor. It can make the setup process easier (though there are ways to set up the initial image to immediately be configurable over the network), but it will run fine after that without one.
What you probably will want is a video cable. The raspberry pi 4b has two micro HDMI ports, so you would most commonly hook it up to a monitor or display with a micro HDMI to HDMI cable. If you want a different model I can double check (I'm not sure if they used different outputs on earlier ones).
I was damn near 1k hours in D1. I think I'm still under 100 in 2, because somehow they managed to make every single map in the entire game a heaping pile of dogshit.
Then they also took them away constantly.
"Do you want to see magic?"
Hell yeah I want to see magic.
Theoretically they're trying to prevent people re-selling and trading, because it makes companies less willing to participate. Many of the complaints I'm aware of were people who ended up admitting they were doing this frequently and buying multiple copies for that purpose (though that doesn't mean there aren't false positives).
The "best" way to give away extra keys is to redeem the actual steam key yourself, then share that key, obfuscated in some way so a human can manage it a bot cannot. As far as we know they can't track that.
Why stop there? Walls allow kids to be hurt too. Why not mandate that every human, at their own expense, provides 100% video coverage of their property at all times, on penalty of automatic child endangerment charges.
And obviously monitoring that isn't free, so we'll send you the bill shortly.
Yeah, I didn't search. Just did the ones I immediately recognized as recent big budget ones.
40 is better than 30, IMO. It's not rock solid, but the drops mostly happen in transition areas where you aren't in combat, and 30 has very noticeable input lag.
Not much? I eyeball it as about 1/4 of the games being in the last two years. That seems pretty reasonable to me.
If an actual majority were brand new games it would just tell you that PC gamers (or at least steam deck) are just chasing novelty over quality. It's OK not to play every brand new game right on release, and it's OK to play older games.
It's good enough for retro emulation and nothing else.
Basically. Graphics card theoretically is referring to the entire removable part on a desktop that has the GPU, power delivery, memory, cooling, etc, but in practice they're used interchangeably and mean the same thing.
