The Morning After: Valve is giving away over a hundred Steam Decks

It is a revelation for some, but it is also expensive. You might be able to get a free one. To coincide with the Game Awards, Valve is giving away a lot of steam deck consoles.

There are a few criteria to consider. You have to watch the event on Steam TV and register for the draw on the official page before the event. If you are in the US, Canada, UK or the EU, you can register and win. You must have made a Steam purchase in November of the previous year. It will thin the herd a bit.

IMAX theaters in the US, Canada and other countries will show the Game Awards in IMAX format. The Best Adaptation category will be the first of its kind and will feature projects that spin out games into movies, TV shows and more. This is Sonic's job.

The person is Mat Smith.

The 20-second 0 to 60 is impressive, given that these vehicles are towing up to 80,000 pounds at a time, and a spent-to-80 percent charge time.

Controls seem to rebel, meaning lots of frustration and lots of screen time. The Callisto Protocol is not that frightening.

Nintendo vows to fix ‘Pokémon Scarlet’ and ‘Violet’ after a rough launch

Sure, it’s popular but messy.

Nintendo said it was listening to player feedback as it planned fixes. There are many bugs addressed in the patch, including inconsistent music playing during key events. Poor frame rates are a problem for the creature-collecting game. Getting stuck in the terrain is one of the most common crashes. It is not what you would expect from Nintendo.
