According to a new study published in Evolutionary Psychological Science, men who wish to become fathers, or have prior relationship experience, are deemed more desirable as long-term mates. Female choosiness is a consequence of the high metabolic costs associated with producing female gametes (i.e., ova/eggs). In contrast, men are less limited in their ability to produce sex cells; instead, men’s reproductive success is limited by their ability to “attract mates and fertilize eggs.”

The Steam Deck finally has Windows audio drivers
Two and a half months after our Steam Deck review, Valve has finally provided the drivers you’ll need for audio if you choose to install Windows on the gaming portable. Before today, you would have had to pair Bluetooth headphones or plug in USB-C earbuds or a dongle to get any kind of audio on Windows at all.
