I very much enjoy the first movie. I have watched it several times and still enjoy going back to it. I absolutely agree the plot is puddle-deep, as you said, and it makes no attempt at all to disguise its analogies ("unobtanium"), but it's mastery is not in the story itself but the way in which it is told.

With the use of Heroic game launcher, I’m wondering if you all preferred to play your GOG version of games over the Steam version.

I’ve been considering purchasing a steam deck. My pc is in my office, which limits interaction with the rest of the family if I want to play anything. I’ve tried playing mobile games, but just can’t get use to the controls. Think it’s worth getting one?
Depends on the games you like to play. I've been working through a bunch of metroidvanias and it's great. I would much rather sit on the couch with my Deck in hand than sit in front of my PC with a controller.
