SteamDeck is the best purchase i made in a long while
Steam deck is shockingly good, it's insane how well they nailed rev1. It's not a perfect device but to get into one for $400 I think they made all the right compromises
Don't do that to them
Aw lawd hold me back; I've been battling that temptation for months now while it was at normal retail pricing - a discount is added temptation I absolutely did not need.
Not gonna buy it… not gonna buy it… not gonna buy it
You really do though, especially if you're running a 3+year laptop or 5+year desktop.
Will shit. It's tempting but I think I would just continue to use my PC instead. I'm home quite a bit.
That's the part that keeps me from doing it. While portability is nice, I have a really great desktop with an ultra wide. That ultra wide in particular is what makes PC gaming really great for me. I think I'd only use it on longer trips, which isn't that often.
I friggin love mine. It's a lifesaver when I have to travel for work and am stuck in a hotel or if I want to hang out in the living room or in bed and game. I've always had really good experiences with Valve hardware. Loved my steam link and still have 3 steam controllers too.
Fucking me right now.

No, Who's on first.
Forwarding my comment from another thread:

- Control Ultimate Edition for $10
- Devil May Cry 5 for $10
- Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition for $5
Control Ultimate Edition for $10
I picked this up for the xbox a while back. One of the most engaging games I've played in a long time.
I had an absolute blast playing control... I had such a big smile on my face with the metal music part, oh so much fun!!!
That is the best part and honest one of the best parts of gaming in general.
Kinda reminds me of burning the weed fields in Far Cry 3.
Oh damn CrossCode for 6$? I've actually looked at it recently (like a day or two ago) it looked cool. I have to think about getting it. Perchance.
I found the dialog to be too awkwardly written. Couldn't stick with it
Just dropped a crisp fiver on Oblivion, figured 17 years of people telling me to play it is enough reason to give it a shot
Just wait until you buy the sequel ;)
I think you're mistaken. If they released a sequel to Oblivion, I must have missed it. What system is it on!?
I remember that game but I forgot its name sadly. I do remember that it is playable on pretty much every device basically from Consoles, PC, its even on the Switch! Perchance.
It will take another 17 years.
My brother had knee surgery right when this game came out, he put over 500 hours into it by the time he had recovered. Definitely worth $5!
It's pretty fun. The side quests are great. I spent way to much time with the Dark Brotherhood lol. Easily my most played Elder Scrolls.
Tempted to get a Steam Deck...
If you bought us all a Steam Deck, we could play together...
It's worth it.
It's a fantastic system!
Titanfall 2 is less than 5 dollars right now. Link. You can also use a community mod client to play on private servers fixing pretty much all the issues playing multiplayer.
Instantly bought Project Zomboid finally (after having "owned" it for half a decade by now). Am currently deciding if I should buy Far Cry 3 &| 4. Perchance. If someone can vouch for Far Cry 5 I might take a look at that as well.
Jeez I only "owned" it for like a year before buying it. Why did you hold out so long?
I only became 18 last year, I'm now fresh out of school and haven't received my first paycheck yet. Before that I barely had more than 10-20 € at a time because my allowance wasn't very high.
The fact that I couldn't open a bank account before I became 18 complicated things further.
But I knew that I wanted to buy it within the first few hours of playing it.
GoG has their summer sale as well!
Oooo DRM free!
Fuck. Thankfully it goes beyond payday and landlords payday.
