Jumped the gun a little and got my Steam Deck a little before I finished saving for it but that's fine because goddamn this thing is incredible. Honestly this may be the last console I buy. More and more games are being released on PC these days and the only games I care about are the lower end indie games and retro emulation anyway. AAA games have been pretty much dead to me for a while (with few exceptions)
I want to also say how wildly easy and fun the physical machine is to use. Shockingly comfortable to hold for its size, really good button size and placement and the trackpads have been perfectly tuned. I'm so used to handhelds or controllers that are good but have some kind of flaw you can't ignore. You might even find the flaw charming but you know its a flaw. Steam Deck has like... none?? It's really impressive.
It's legitimately my favorite handheld
