One of my main tools has been SteamDB's instant search - it's basically a giant list of all steam games, sorted by review score, with a TON of different filters you can apply. Looking specifically for something released this year? You can filter for it. Looking specifically for a co-op action shooter, or a singleplayer 2d platformer? You can filter for those too. Wanting to exclude early access games or exclude games with a min/max number of reviews? You can do that too. Very handy tool

If you or your family care about privacy, their Android app has fewer trackers (see Spotify v. Apple Music).
Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed Collection is a blast if you're okay with a kart racer.
Flatout 2 is the OG combat racer.
If you're looking for a true "racing sim" type game I would probably recommend one of the Assetto Corsa games, either the original or competizione.
CarX Drift Racing Online is probably not what you expect, but is really fun. Not exactly a traditional "racing" game because you don't compete for time, but rather compete for "drift points," with longer/wider drifts getting more score. It has a surprisingly thorough singleplayer mode, and the multiplayer is relatively relaxed. Multiplayer is setup in an open-world style; you join a big lobby and can just drive around with friends or randoms without actually competing for anything, although people in each lobby can start competitions that everyone else can opt-in to. The main reason I'm recommending it is it has very thorough car customization and is a chill, non-competitive driving game, whether that be singleplayer or multiplayer.
English-speaking population is about 1.5 billion worldwide and 300 million of that is in the US (first language or additional language), so the US is about 20% of the world's English speakers. The 2nd and 3rd countries with the most English-speakers are India and Nigeria, so factor in internet access, and the US is almost certainly >20% of the English-speaking internet.

Was wondering why I hadn't heard of this bot before...
Both Bitwarden and KeePass are very secure, certainly much better than something like Lastpass...
Bitwarden's server and client are open source and completely E2EE (similar to Signal, the server is zero-knowledge). And even if you don't trust Bitwarden's official server, you can host your own.
KeePass is fine too, but it doesn't have a centralized server like Bitwarden. You have to use other tools to sync your vault between devices. Which some people prefer, but others dislike. Just depends on your preference.
There are some story-rich RPG shooters that are almost pre-2010 I could recommend, like maybe Dishonored or Fallout 3/New Vegas. But pre-2010 is tough, only ones I can think of are the System Shock or maybe Thief games.
Update: the 64bit_linux_test branch is now public! Go test it! It can't connect to public servers yet, but it's there.
To opt in, right click on TF2 in your Steam library, then go to properties -> betas -> select x64_linux_test from the dropdown.
Some people are reporting a 25%-30% FPS increase, which is just crazy.
Just be aware that "stable" in the linux world means "old." All of the software in the Debian repos will be much more out of date than some other distros like Pop!_OS, Fedora, or even Ubuntu. If you upgrade to newer hardware, or want to use newer software, Debian may not support it without jumping through some major hoops.
Comet has a list of supported requests on their github readme, and at least the achievement requests seem to be present. I'm not sure if Heroic utilizes them though
