I don't need a steam deck I don't need a steam deck I don't need a steam deck

[–] Ryac@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

SteamDeck is the best purchase i made in a long while

[–] leachim6@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Entropywins@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Don't do that to them

[–] Anomander@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] generalpotato@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not gonna buy it… not gonna buy it… not gonna buy it

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You really do though, especially if you're running a 3+year laptop or 5+year desktop.

[–] iliketurtles@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Will shit. It's tempting but I think I would just continue to use my PC instead. I'm home quite a bit.

[–] CoderKat@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

[–] Entropywins@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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!!!

[–] CoderKat@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] genoxidedev1@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] corm@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I found the dialog to be too awkwardly written. Couldn't stick with it

[–] ultimate_question@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] sota2077@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just wait until you buy the sequel ;)

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think you're mistaken. If they released a sequel to Oblivion, I must have missed it. What system is it on!?

[–] genoxidedev1@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] crr10@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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!

[–] pathief@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Tempted to get a Steam Deck...

[–] Darkrai@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

It's worth it.

[–] Oswald_Buzzbald@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

It's a fantastic system!

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

If you bought us all a Steam Deck, we could play together...

[–] Darkrai@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] genoxidedev1@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Darkrai@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jeez I only "owned" it for like a year before buying it. Why did you hold out so long?

[–] genoxidedev1@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Darkrai@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Understandable, have a nice day.

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Fuck. Thankfully it goes beyond payday and landlords payday.

[–] toxicbubble@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

GoG has their summer sale as well!

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

Oooo DRM free!
