Streamer Valkyrae is facing a backlash after launching a gamer skincare range that's been called a scam. The popular streamer's RFLCT skincare range launched on the 19th October and is designed to protect users from "blue light pollution", emitted from digital screens. However, she's been criticised for helping to develop such a product when some research around blue light pollution has proven it has a negligible effect on skin. Dr. Ludger Kolbe, Chief Scientist Photobiology at The Beiersdorf research team , ran a study which concluded that "the amount of artificial blue light emitted during conventional use of electronic devices is nowhere near enough to trigger harmful skin effects" and that "compared to the emissions of the sun's natural blue light, those of artificial blue light are virtually undetectable."

Steam Deck Verified will show you how “the entire Steam catalog” plays on the handheld
Steam Deck Verified is Valve's newly announced way of evaluating how well Steam games play on its upcoming Steam Deck handheld. Valve unveiled this corner of the Steam Deck compatibility program today, describing Steam Deck Verified as a four-tier grading system.
