Dude, I just started getting into BAR and, while a complete noob with a strong nostalgia for TA, I can't even begin to imagine playing it on the Steam Deck. Not that I'm naysaying here, I'm just more in a kind of "I want to believe" state since it's pretty much becoming one of my all time favorites.
All that said, brilliant write up! Share some of your control details for BAR too if you have a chance!
Highly recommend at least trying to poison your data before deactivating/deleting; they have some legalese that gives them a workaround to keep things to an extent

Yeah, the deactivation link takes you to "delete" it, but they do have some legalese that suggests they could keep it to "enforce their agreements" among other things
There's that and Heroic is doing some excellent work implementing proton and steams stuff into GOG games!
Damn, dude, those are considered rare? That's a hell of a bummer
Superb is right! Absolutely a delight, it's become something I keep returning to on a regular basis. Each time, just enough balance between "chilled out," familiarity, and freshness of relevant judgment/choice-making. Definitely helps that the UI is absolutely on point throughout and the music is a delight.
Yeah, I guess I'm gonna dogpile here a bit, but can confirm it's pretty solid on the deck. I thought I'd hate track-padding, but it's actually pretty pleasant. Just had to remap a couple things, like wood-cutting & a couple back paddle buttons and it plays surprisingly smoothly. I've played on both PC & deck and oddly I'm starting to get to like playing on the deck a little bit better actually.
Give it a try!
Define container; reasonably, a room could be defined as a container. A container of what? And furthermore, define empty! Knowing when something's "empty" has all kinds of applications. That and teleporting, even a few inches could be incredible, especially dependent on how often/quickly you could do it. 3 & 7, hands down
On top of this, I doubt many of the Steam Deck's current competitors could have sold at a loss like Valve did (IIRC, they sold at a loss or at least pretty close to it). Microsoft, however, definitely has the spare money as a larger corp if they decided to really back the XBox/Gaming division. Price-wise, they could compete. If they're in the same pricing ballpark, manage a reasonable quality handheld, and can promise perfect windows compatibility with games, that might be something.
