* The Platform/{{Steam}} Deck is well-known for the fact that not only can it play many games in one's Steam's library, but for those willing to go above and beyond what the average gamer will do with it, it's also a Linux PC in handheld form, and you can switch to Desktop Mode for that. If you are willing to put in the extra legwork (especially since using Desktop Mode requires a separate keyboard), you can install non-Steam games for play on your Deck, including PC games that are sold only on other storefronts (like itch.io) and emulators (which is a huge selling point for retro game fans). Some users even do non-gaming productivity work on the go with it!

* Counting cards in Blackjack and other similar games allows you to predict with decent accuracy what the next hand will be, giving you an advantage. A team of MIT students once used this to win millions of dollars at casinos.

* Counting cards in Blackjack and other similar games allows you to predict with decent accuracy what the next hand will be, giving you an advantage. A team of MIT students once used this to win millions of dollars at casinos. But be careful trying this in a casino yourself, as casino higher-ups generally don't take kindly to a player running the house dry of money.

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/47294533/chapters/119171152#workskin Changing Gears]]'': Gearshift has numerous applications beyond the obvious SuperSpeed, including freezing opponents in place, healing, and even killing cancer cells. However, the effects it has on a person's body if not carefully monitored start at "possibly dangerous" and quickly go to outright lethal. If Izuku overuses his SuperSpeed, his body becomes starved of oxygen. If he freezes someone in place via "Park" rather than "Neutral", their heart stops beating and they can't breathe. If he doesn't make certain he only targets the cancerous cells, he'll kill healthy parts of a person. And if he heals someone too carelessly, he can actually give them cancer or simply age them to death. But, when used carefully, Gearshift's utility is second only to Creation.
