They don’t cost money but the first one has an expanded version on Steam.

A lot of steam games are also available on itch (or vice-versa) so that’s kind of a tricky question?
Here are a few that as far as I am aware are mainly available via itch or the dev’s individual pages.

I’m playing Diablo 2 for the first time, offline (or as the kids say these days, SSF)…
Right now, I’m about level 8 and I am losing my mind using a town portal every 3 minutes to sell all the junk I have collected to the merchants back in town. I’m using a build/leveling guide so I know what items I need for my build to work, but it’s not clear to me whether I will need gold in any significant quantity later, and I don’t know if it’s no longer worth it for me to keep portaging back to town to sell junk white items.
Can anyone more experienced provide some guidance?

this is completely unnecessary to the best of my memory (24 years ago), you really only need to bother picking up nice stuff

Never pick up whites or greys except in like extreme early game when they’re upgrades for you. Otherwise a huge waste of your time. The game is so fast and scales very quickly, you’ll never miss the 6 gold or whatever you are giving up.

The bottom of the Series X is actually pretty interesting looking
it’s an intake and the top is one big exhaust
that’s how blower cards work too, hooray for blower cards

unlike a blower card the fan is very large so it is quiet

I feel like I’m going to look like a sort of grass-chewing bumpkin but I don’t quite understand the background to this question…what would be the difference between that and like a “normal PC” with Windows on it?
Not an answer to your question but for ages I’d figured they were going to put out some kind of Surface/Xbox hybrid machine as a response to the Switch
the thing is that it is like insanely complicated to polish such a product to the point where you can actually sell it at retail like a console and expect it to not necessitate a bunch of PC bullshit (not to mention keep it within expectations for power consumption, build quality, peripheral support, etc)
valve getting away with shipping a retail x86 linux gaming product I think really changed expectations in this department

i think of the steam deck as a logical extension of the cheap handhelds running like android ice cream sandwich. people are putting up with linux like frogs in the bath because windows doesn’t comfortably exist in that thermal envelope and mac/ios are hostile to games

also you can somewhat more effectively impose across-the-board renderer limits on stuff running via wine/proton than you could with a native windows machine, saying nothing of malware etc
basically this makes just as much if not more sense than if they’d managed to ship a windows handheld like this, it has a huge and weird support burden either way, it’s just never going to have great frametiming or true windows back compatibility or efficiency
