SwimOdin Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Whatcha think? Did you reserve one? I got one 7 minutes into the preorder, very lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAss Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Given Valve's hardware aside from their VR has a bad track record... who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapinator_X Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I already spent so much on the PS5 that I’ll have to bow out. It sounds tempting though since my laptop has a hard time handling some of my more demanding Steam games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwimOdin Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 A month in, and I still can't believe this thing is real. I play Elden Ring under a canopy of trees in my yard, and then when I need to shit? Still playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I don’t have one, but it looks awesome even if it makes my old Atari Lynx look svelte. Everyone seems happy with their Gabe Gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I want to get the 512GB version. But I'm gonna need to save up some money for that one. (Luckily, I can make enough to get one in about a week or two. Woot!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I basically had to abandon my play style to get into V. Maining Nash....I mained Cody and Ibuki on 4, but Cody is hot ass trash on V. I really want emo prison Cody back...but push come to shove, I'll go full 1996 and go back to Guile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemming Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Arrrg. Yowwwlll. Now if I want a pro experience from the master chief collection, I have to buy a steam deck? I guess it’s good to know it’s available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrose321 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I got one because I wanted to play my Steam games while curled up on the couch or outside in my hammock. I used to hang out in front of my desktop more but not so much lately. I know it's not a perfect device but I get a lot of use out of it. The only issue I've had to overcome was learning how to hold it. I have small hands so my wrists hurt for a while but no pain, no game. I made it through. /nerd flex/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimOdin Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 Yeah my noodle arms get tired too. That’s my only complaint as well. Otherwise, this is quickly becoming this elder millennial’s favorite gaming console/device ever. And I’ve been playing this shit since the 2600. I can’t see me not using this and newer iterations for the rest of my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwimOdin Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share Posted November 18, 2023 As am I. I can’t tell you how hard it’s been to not order it. I have a Steam Deck that is wonderful! I don’t…need…it. But it’s killing me. All of this to say it’s become my all time favorite “console” handheld, whatever. It just fits with everything in my life. This is all saying something from a lifetime video game dork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
