I'm curious if anyone has played - is it the same kind of game as those washing simulators or house flipping simulators?
No. It's basically some kind of diorama builder.

Alternatives to popular games that don't work on Linux, Steam Deck and SteamOS

For the extraction shooters, I'll suggest Incursion: Red River. It doesn't have any PvP like Tarkov, but it's still an alternative that works on Linux (desktop, at least; I haven't tried on the Deck at all).

New Valve trademark for 'Steam Frame', looks like we're getting new hardware

The Index can be used seated but the vast majority of the time it's designed around the assumption that you have room to use it standing.
That's an issue with the games themselves, not the headset or SteamVR. Some *are* designed to accommodate seated play (the VR version of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is perfectly playable seated, for example), or even be designed for it entirely like I Expect You To Die (dunno about the sequels).

Valve confirm that Steam purchases with PayPal have been limited to a few select currencies

If PayPal had a problem with Steam they probably wouldn't still be handling those six currencies.
They're starting with smaller markets just to test the waters and see how Valve responds.

I wouldn't be surprised if the reason why some currencies aren't supported anymore came from PayPal rather than the bank itself.

After all, if Mastercard lied about not censoring legal purchases, why wouldn't PayPal also lie ?

I guess JetBrains is eventually gonna add support for Godot development/debugging in one of their IDEs, like Rider (which already supports C++ for UE and C# for Unity).

Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed

Payment processors should never get a say in how people spend their money. Unless it is outright illegal there should be no restrictions – no matter what they, you, I or anyone else thinks about the content.
Yup. But sadly, governments won't do anything about that, so payment processors will keep being puritan garbage.

Ridiculous Harry Potter-like wizard game Secret Agent Wizard Boy gets a huge upgrade

Keyboard remapping is nice, but UE really needs a huge rework of how it handles keyboard input, because I'm tired of the vast majority of UE games not supporting standard-but-not-QWERTY layouts like the standard French AZERTY layout...

EDIT: I already reported the issue to the dev, let's hope they'll be able to fix it.
