    Even though I use it daily --and overall think it's an okay program--
    I've had a variety of issues with Steam over the years, but the one
    that's annoyed me the most has _after twenty plus years_ finally been
    fixed.

    With the recent update to the program, Valve has added accessibility
    options that lets me, at long last, increase the size of the fonts.

    Steam's tiny fonts have been an annoyance to me for years.
    Windows10/11 alleviated the issue a bit, with its native ability to
    increase interface text, but even so, the words on Steam were always a
    bit small for me. Between aging eyes and ever-more pixel-dense
    screens, bigger fonts were desperately desired. You could try using
    unofficial themes and hacks, but even if you trusted them, they rarely
    worked for long, as Valve was constantly tinkering with their own
    program, and the modders just couldn't keep up.

    But at long last, I can go into Steam's settings and crank up the text
    size, making it so I can read my list of games from across the room.
    As the topic says, final-fucking-ly!

    (Now if only they'd let me change the color scheme. Although at least
    the low contrast mode helps a little bit.)
