Lol, better deal than a Switch 2 if you like playing more than just Nintendo games!
(Also you can play almost every single Nintendo game in existence on it)
In fact, you can play more Nintendo games on the Steam Deck than you can on the Switch 2. Just not the newest ones (yet).
Pirating Nintendo games is the morally right thing to do.
Correct, no notes.
Iwata died, Reggie left, they’re evil now, NOA being led by Bowser should be a tip off to this lol.
Steam Deck was the best tech expenditure I’ve made in the last five years.
Wait I thought consoles are supposed to be getting more expensive for old hardware? Did Valve miss the memo?
Valve originally expected to lose money on every Steam Deck sold, but thanks to high volume of units sold and other factors this ended up not being the case. Even with tariffs affecting that bottom line, I think the Decks still ended up being more profitable than they ever expected and they can afford to do sales like this, even if they potentially result in hardware being sold at a loss.
Speaking of which, @Railcar8095@lemm.ee you told me 6 months ago to ping you if tariffs come into effect and the price of the deck doesn’t increase.
Been checking the refurb page for weeks now. I’m about to pull the trigger on this.
Any recommendations for a budget dock that I can buy from somewhere other than amazon? I’ve been boycotting amazon since pre-covid and I dont intend to break that here. I’d love to find something cheaper than the official valve one though.
Accessories like this are always the hardest thing to find direct from the manufacturer/on other platforms.
Any recommendations for a budget dock
I don’t know if it’s the type you’re looking for but I’m quite happy with my Genki Covert Dock. It does the job quite well, and the portability is nice to have.
I have a cheap Ivoler brand dock and it’s worked really well. Not sure where to buy it besides Amazon though.
I would specifically recommend against buying from Jsaux’s website though, their website isn’t actually safe to buy from.
What’s wrong with the jsaux website?
Emails and other information used to buy from Jsaux’s website were being sold/passed on to spam advertisers some how. Jsaux denied they were doing it, and it’s possible it could be the company they use for payment processing or something, but it was definitely happening when using their site.
Gamingonlinux had a couple articles on it, but for some reason I’m having trouble finding them.
Would anyone recommend an LCD over an OLED model?
Over OLED? Probably not, but LCD is perfectly fine.
Unless you really care about OLED and slightly better battery, then a much cheaper LCD is a good choice.
