The Steam Deck is finally here. You can get the power of high-end PC gaming right in the palms of your hands…if you manage to snag one amidst supply constraints , that is.  But whenever your $500 handheld gaming powerhouse shows up, whether it’s right at launch or years down the road, you’ll need to know which games work well. Steam Deck is a unique piece of hardware that, because of its Linux-based operating system (as opposed to Windows), can’t accommodate every single game in the massive Steam marketplace. Whether it’s because a game doesn’t have robust controller support or some other backend work is needed to make it Deck-worthy, expect to find some games that just plain don’t work on Steam Deck. Some will get patched in time. Others, like virtual reality titles, simply aren't made for Steam Deck. Thankfully, there’s an easy way to tell if a game will work on that beefy handheld PC. Let’s go over it together. Time to learn some icons Valve has a quick and handy video ex

On Sunday night, Apple TV+'s CODA — a coming-of-age dramedy about a "child of Deaf adults" — made history at the SAG Awards , becoming the first movie with a predominately Deaf cast to win the award for best film ensemble, while star Troy Kotsur became the first Deaf actor to pick up a SAG with best supporting actor. During the acceptance speech for best film ensemble, Marlee Matlin took to the stage and gave a powerful speech about the impact of the award. "You are all our peers. We, Deaf actors, have come a long way. 35 years, I have been seeing so much work out there all this time. I've watched all of your films, and I pay the deepest respect to all of you," Matlin said. "This validates the fact that we, Deaf actors, can work just like anybody else. We look forward to more opportunities for Deaf actors, Deaf culture, thank you." Matlin finished her speech by teaching the crowd how to sign "I love you" in American Sign Language (A

Another week down, and another seven Wordle s in the can. I hope you all preserved your streaks — when the world is in such a grim state, it's OK to celebrate the tiniest wins. (And if one Wordle a day isn't quite enough to keep you from doomscrolling, you can try one of the ever-growing number of clones and variations that have sprung up since the original went mega-viral.) As the days can tend to blur together In These Times, let's have a look back at the week in Wordle answers, ranked in reverse order of obscurity: the highs, the lows, the bewildered Americans. If nothing else, let this list serve as a reminder that none of these words will be the answer you're looking for any time soon. 1. OTHER (Monday Feb. 21) Extremely normal word. So normal, in fact, that I was a little taken aback when it turned out to be the answer. When you're trying to pull random words from the depths of your brain to solve a puzzle, sometimes the ones you use most IRL are the la

The rise and fall of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes is taking center stage in the upcoming Hulu series "The Dropout," starring Amanda Seyfried and Naveen Andrews . For those unfamiliar with the story, Holmes founded the blood-test startup in 2003 before dropping out of Stanford University, and the company was valued at $9 billion over a decade later. By 2015, Forbes named Holmes as the world's youngest self-made female billionaire . Theranos promised to rapidly conduct blood tests using small amounts of blood, but amid growing concerns over the validity of the test results, The Wall Street Journal exposed the shortcomings with Theranos's technology . The 2015 report marked the downfall of a blood-tech company that was once touted as the next big thing. But perhaps what is just as engrossing is Holmes's secret 12-year relationship with Pakistani-born entrepreneur Sunny Balwani (née Ramesh Balwani), who joined Theranos in 2009 as vice president before becom

It's a blessed 2022 for Pokémon fans. You already got Pokémon Legends: Arceus , a bit of a new direction for the enduring series that came to Nintendo Switch back in February. It's excellent . Now, just over a month later, The Pokémon Company is back with some news: Two new Pokémon games are still to come in "late 2022" and the pair takes us back to that traditional Pokémon vibe of releasing two largely identical games that have their own titles and critter lineups. The upcoming pair are called Pokémon Violet and Pokémon Scarlet . The trailer also gives us a peek at the games' new Pokémon starters, from which all players choose their starting pal when they fire up a new game. This trio is as predictably adorable as any other Pokémon starter lineup: There a delighted-looking green kitten-thing, a smiling creature that looks like a cross between a dinosaur and a Shy Guy , and a cute, little duck that's either wearing a vaguely beret-shaped hat or has a swo

After a monthlong hiatus, " Saturday Night Live " returned on Feb. 26 with a powerful tribute to Ukraine amid the ongoing Russian invasion under the leadership of President Vladimir Putin. The sketch comedy show opened with a moving performance by the Ukrainian Chorus Dumka of New York. Introduced by "SNL" cast members Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong , the choir sang "Prayer for Ukraine" behind a table of votive candles that were positioned to spell out the capital city of Kyiv. Watch the full performance above! Related: Ukrainian Aid Organizations to Support Following Russian Invasion John Mulaney hosted last night's episode of "SNL," joining the Five-Timers Club.

John Mulaney has officially checked into the Saturday Night Live five-timers club. As the club's name suggests, SNL five-timers are people who have hosted the show at least five times. Mulaney, who used to be a writer on SNL , is now one of them. He joins an illustrious crew that includes Tina Fey, Paul Rudd, Steve Martin, Candace Bergen, Elliott Gould, and a portrait of Drew Barrymore. Also, Conan O'Brien I guess (another legendary former SNL writer!). These celeb-filled sketches can be hit or miss, but this one's a big time hit. https://ift.tt/03uPvBF
