Nice. I got the 256 model. Figure I can just get some relatively cheap SD cards and use those if I need space.
They are on sale right now if you are really interested lol
Yeah some games just do weird stuff, but some games I check the compatibility and they are supposed to run like poo and they work great for me.
Trying to get set up to play Diablo 4 right now but it's just freezing on the battlenet login screen. Oh well back to tinkering

Really interested, but really broke, lol.
I hear ya.
Like I said in the OP I was able to use my welness/development benefit account to pay since it is technically a PC. Otherwise it would still be sitting on my steam wish list.

I don't get any such benefits, but that would be amazing! Glad you managed to pick one up!

Yes, I have a Steam Deck. Yes, it is the 512GB version. I didn't know how much I would play it, but it's just one of those pieces of hardware that I felt I wanted from the start. And as it happened, I've played it a lot. Compared to how much I play games, anyway. But I've put 50 hours into Hades on it, which for me is a really high amount considering it took me about 3 months to finish Doom on my gaming rig. So yeah, I absolutely love my Steam Deck. It goes with me when I work away now and gets a lot of use. Use it plenty at home as well, when it's more convenient than just disappearing into my office to play on my actual PC.

Vampire Survivor has been on my list for a while, and I nearly pulled the trigger when the DLC came out. It really costs very little, but I have such big backlog as it is. I'm still not quite done with Hades, and when I am I want to move on to Rollerdrome. Maybe after that.
Random recommendation for Steam Deck; Ollie Ollie World. I've just finished it and it's as hard as nails but so satisfying, and really good on the Deck. Finishing the main story is only 6-8 hours depending on how much you do, but there's probably 40+ hours at least if you do all the challenges and extras. They're really good fun, but as I say, it's a really hard game, so I've decided to move on to something else. It really benefits from playing it regularly because your twitch reactions are so important, and I don't play it regularly enough to get good enough to do those challenges. But if you're someone who played Tony Hawk and did everything on those games back in the day, get Ollie Ollie World.
