Yeah but my wife and I got one for ourselves when we got married… And that wasn’t… Fuck… I’ve got a big major anniversary coming up…

I’m right there with you, my deck, and my future deck 2 (there will be no deck 3 because valve/steam/GabeN) is probably the only “console” I get from here out
Turning old (beginning of middle age) has really messed with my perception of forever (or “ages” in this case) how long has it been out, 5 years now? That seems like not too long of a time.
Angry video game nerd?
I might’ve conflated him and total biscuit in my head.
That’s the top of the slippery slope that leads to consumption.
If you see a Republican trying to lick your dog, correct the behavior immediately, they’ve proven themselves not able to exhibit self control in those situations.
You’re playing the wrong games…
I was ready to replay antichamber and make it one of the few games I did every puzzle in, then the ending happened and I put it down never to pick it up again. Why the heck did they change everything up in the last 2% of the game?
I much prefer recommending lingo these days.
That’s k a r s cars for kids
I wonder if they didn’t block the bot that approves content…
Haha, moderator approval on Reddit.
Yet still people will find reason to complain.
80% of my catalog is platinum and gold, 20% I probably wasn’t going to play anyways.
My library is plenty large enough and it’s 80%+ gold verified on protondb, and I’ve found success in running titles that were unverified (but not borked, I’ve never tried any of the dozen or so borked games in my library).
Disgaea 4 runs flawlessly without any modification on my deck, it does take a moment to start, I believe that is when it’s trying to connect to the online servers which I have entirely disabled through the in game options menu.
I won’t attest to anything outside of steam, because I didn’t buy a laptop or a console, I bought a steam deck. And I have more than a thousand games ready to go on it.
Edit to add: not sure where you pulled “universal compatability” from, I never mentioned that at all. Contrary to that statement all of the games I mentioned, and everything I’ve ever tried playing, are titles activated through steam.
Please feel free to ask my any specific questions, I will answer them as unbiasedly as possible.
I jumped on ordering mine working 30 minutes of its announcement, I waited 7 months to get it, and I’ve used it probably 60% of the days since I’ve had it. I still use the laptop some times (especially when my wife has it for some games, and I bought my mom one of her own so she wouldn’t be using mine constantly when she came to visit)
There has been 1 game I’ve tried to play that hasn’t worked, people say it does, but there are 2 versions of the game (square enix, final fantasy 8) and I have the older version, for some reason no control input is sent to it no matter what I do. I’m sure if I bought the new version it would work fine, but I’m done with that company after they bricked my phone copy of ff6 (even though the phone didn’t change at all) and told me “if I want to continue playing you need to buy the new version”. I’m sad they seem to be doing the same thing with all their old games.
That rant out of the way.
I have 1400 games in my steam library, the above is the only one I’ve wanted to play but haven’t been able to get working.
I highly suggest a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard for first person style games (I’m too old to get used to the “gyro control fine aiming”, but the younger people say it works great.) and 4x games.
I play a lot more 2d platformers and rogue-lite games on the deck than I ever did on a PC/laptop. The controls are fantastic and there’s no input lag like I used to have with a wireless control to my PC.
I’m about to buy a 3rd because my household, and the company we bring over, sometimes use mine when I want to be using it.
Some of the games I’ve played on it: red dead redemption 2, Witcher 3, elder scrolls Skyrim, rim world, dead cells, path of exile, Warhammer total war 2, sid Meier’s civ 5 and 6, subnautica, factorio, satisfactory, monster Hunter frostborn wrath, baldurs gate 3.
It’s actually amazingly good at running the ported PS2/4 and xbox360 games, I was amazed to see 5-6 hours predicted battery life while playing dynasty warriors 8 and Disgaea 4.
I was thinking about getting a new gaming laptop to replace my 5 year old 15" dell, but the deck filled that need perfectly, and at a fraction of the price a new computer would’ve cost.
When I originally bought it (pre ordered the 512 gig) I bought a “leather skin” and screen protector, I’m glad that I did, but I think the skin was going overboard.
If you aren’t a gamer I’m not very sure how much desktop function there is, I’ve only done it once or twice, but I was able to YouTube and Amazon through the browser.
If you get one (and I highly recommend it) I suggest getting a kick stand, a Bluetooth mouse and a Bluetooth keyboard.
My next investment is going to be a “dock” and a pair of a.r. glasses so I can charge it and use the glasses as a monitor and lay in bed and game until mold grows over me.
Edit to add: I’ve actually found a couple newer games that developers have decided my laptop is “too out of date” to run, but will run just fine on the deck, so there’s that!
Can someone make this non cancerous please?
What a terrible place to grow flowers. I hope Babushka enjoys asphalt.
Future terrorist attacks are going to suck ass
They finally finished the (very nice) bridge near my place, it looks something like this one used to, it took them 4 years, and it was very much not a war zone.
We just had a friend go back to renew her birthright citizenship, we thought she was crazy but it was important to her, so glad she greased the right wheels, got it done quickly and made it back home safe. I wouldn’t go to that hell hole for a million bucks right now. For some reason my dad (last I talked to him5 years ago) swore it would be paradise and make the states look like 1980s Russia, I’m sure he would say the USA started the Russia/Ukraine war.
Could’ve spent the day picking flowers to give to babushka, gone home and fallen asleep in bed.
Instead they die tired and grow flowers to comfort the family that outlived them.
Get the fuck back into your own country. Take the pieces of your brother’s with you. Give them to Putin.
No, that’s the pal-world-monster arts.
