Yes, Steelheart was pretty enjoyable, though Dispatch plays the Superhero things much straighter.

The Biden Laptop story was hushed up during Trump 1.

Playing Dispatch. It's by the Critical Role people, has nice animation, music, writing, etc. The bulk of the time playing is selecting dialogue options and watching your character make it sound snappier than you ever could pull off. There are real time events you can turn off, and otherwise two different games - resource management/hero leveling and a "hacking" puzzle game.

Unspoilerly Plot - It's a superhero setting. You are someone without powers but who has extensive experience around heroes and villains. You get a gig as a Superhero Dispatcher (think 911 dispatcher for subscribers to a corporate super-hero service.) You basically become the life coach for this universe's version of the Suicide Squad. Shenanigans ensue.

It's fun. My one complaint is that I wish there was an option to just do the Resource Management game without watching all the unskippable cut scenes. You can make different choices which makes replaying the game less tedious, but it's still tedious.

Except we recently had a government that literally lied on the facts - the Hunter Biden Laptop story is one such situation.

I suppose it's a "Government can only lie on the facts when they have a favorable media environment?"

I'm honestly trying to figure out for myself why I trust the DHS accounts when I would typically try to verify the information in other ways.
