My wife and I don't need steam decks, my wife and I don't need steam decks...
Edited to add: bought two >_>
Do you want one? Will you use it? Could that money bring you more happiness in the long run used in some other way?
These are the kinds of questions I ask myself before spending >$50, usually prevents me from regret.
Resistance is futile...
... they really are dope af. Best purchase I've made in a long time. I can get hours more in because I'm not tethered to the desk, so while my kid is on his tablet or playing with lego, and my wife is watching TV on the couch, I can be right here and glance up and participate. If something comes up, power button. Right back where I was when I push it again.
It honestly pays for itself in the power saved by not having my gaming rig on for the hours at a time. I shut it off as soon as I'm off work. Might not be a lot every month but it adds up quick.
Seriously, get one. You can get the basic version and a decent SD card for it and you're golden.
@iAmTheTot You don't need Steam Deck. The Steam Deck needs you. BOOM and sorry. :D
