The last few Square releases weren't Epic exclusive, if they even released there. However, Square also seemingly changes their mind about this stuff, like people change their underwear, so who knows in the end.
Not everyone is going to hop onto the internet to publicly report their issues.
But enough people are. People are talking about every small thing they did, what happened, whatever.
Also, with all the different plugins or stats available on this thing to track everything, you can probably create a pretty detailed breakdown of what someone did with their Steam Deck.
You'll definitely have users gaming on the thing for 8+ hours every day, so I don't see much value in that. Like I said, you might as well just wait for users to report their experiences.
What? It just removes a mod. If you don’t like it, don’t use Nexusmods. By removing this disclaimer it makes the mod creator look bad. Because the disclaimer wasn’t hurting anyone.
I've done some runs, unlocked all four classes, and right now I'd agree. All the characters feel pretty weak to me, even though I'm just playing on the lowest difficulty, where you'd usually expect to cruise through, depending on your experience.
Since you're on PC, using cheats or potentially mods can expand the list of games you have available, since you might be able to just ignore certain aspects of a game, like combat, money or resources in general.
The more recent Assassin's Creed games have something called a Discovery Tour, where you can just explore the world, without combat. They are partially meant for educational purposes and can teach about the different regions and history, and offer guided tours. I don't know if there's a real free roam, where you can just do whatever though.
You mentioned buying Goat Simulator, so maybe other of these "Simulator" games might be for you.
I don't know how much you can go into houses, but Farming Simulator could be worth a look. Your kid can probably just explore the map and maybe even try some of the farming.
As someone else mentioned, Slime Rancher might be fun just to explore the world with the cute creatures all around, but there's not really much or any buildings as far as I know (don't know if the sequel has this stuff).
A Short Hike could be worth a look. You're on a mountainous island / national park type deal and your main objective is to get to the peak of the mountain, but you can just explore, do some side quests, solve puzzles, etc. I feel like the screenshots on the Steam Store page for the game look really ugly, since it's so pixelated, but that's just a filter, that you can change in game (from smooth to really pixely).
I think those are only your collections a game is in, so unless you have a dynamic collection for the tag Dwarf (or add a game manually to a collection), it'll never show up in that corner.
I don't really see the point of a keyboard in a device like this for gaming. The review says it'll enable you to play some games that need a keyboard, but it's just so small, I can't ever see it being comfortable or good.
I don't think there's really any trolling going on (at least enough that it matters), just that people vote for what they know or recognize, like you said a popularity contest. Three of the titles in the Innovative Gameplay section are pretty niche, no matter how good they are. Even Remnant 2 is dwarfed by Starfield sales, so the latter just becomes the default choice for most people.
If there was any other big name AAA title on the list, I think Starfield could have lost.
This year you could skip a category, and it would still count towards the badge / stickers / whatever, but I don't think that was made clear at a glance. It was explained in the FAQ, but who reads that, when you could just click whatever and be done?
Maybe that was just for the nominations though, I don't remember checking for the actual vote.

That's kinda useless. You might as well just wait for the user reports at that point.
These unrealistic torture tests accelerate the potential burn-in, and it's still useful to gauge how long it could really take.
Nioh 2 and Battleblock Theater (when played Coop)
I think that's just a concession from Nvidia, and they wouldn't really have to pull any games from the service.
Yeah, lots of weapons you can to unlock, then level each to 12 once, before you can overclock.
Not any better even if you know.
He's a weirdo, but I think it was just normal porn. Maybe it was some porn with magic tricks, since he's into that as well.
I like the game and the DRG theme, but I'm not too big on how to (properly) unlock your weapons, it's just a bit too convoluted for no reason.

I tried that as well, but really didn't like it. The visual especially were extremely unappealing to me.

Worthless article.
The only new card is the 7600XT, and it doesn't have any useful information about it, except linking to another article about it.
The best card is the most expensive one and cheaper models won't be as fast. Quality journalism right here.

The videos and articles about the game were pretty entertaining.
