Yay. 🎉 so excited for you! I can tell you are enjoying your purchase and I totally agree (as you know) that the steamdeck is great especially for indie games and also retro gaming.

Wow I loved L A Noir when I played it way back when. 😅 such a fun game.

I can’t wait for your new column to come out and compare notes.

🎉💚

Firstly, thank you so much for the shout out, Gonçalo! That really made my day! Congratulations on your new purchase! Honestly, I think you made a great choice, there are so many games available on the SteamDeck, you can't really go wrong! I'm looking forward to hearing more about the games you play!

Steam Deck is one of the best purchases I've made! I've found that Hades and Cult of the Lamb are almost tailor-made for the Deck, if you would like to give them a try.

Looking forward to your new column!

Bloody love my Steam Deck! I am playing Minishoot Adventure atm and I highly recommend, its a tiny game made by 2 people i think...? Its simple design but extremely fun!

I want a Steam Deck! T.T I have recently gotten into PC gaming and the summer Steam sale should be soonish I think. I wonder if I should make the splurge and get one. Where did you get a used one at? I would like a slightly cheaper refurbished one.... I never see them for sale on the second hand market.

I have it on my original Switch, but I like Slay the Spire. I dont know if Hades II will be ported to the Switch so I wanted to get it on Steam. I prefer indie games over AAA titles. Though I do want to get the Hogwarts game...

I've played through Slay The Spire, got completely addicted to it. Already bought Hades 2 and played a few hours, now I'm waiting for 1.0 release.

I bought my Steam Deck on Vinted! Managed to haggle it down to around 250€. The lowest they've gotten on Summer Sale is 315€ if I'm not mistaken. It is 100% worth it, especially if, like me, you have a backlog that you keep neglecting 😅

One thing I've appreciated lately is how usable the desktop side is with the trackpads. Easy to just flip over if you want to visit the web.

Excellent choice. However, the moment you are going to try the SD OLED you will make the switch to the OLED version ... I bet ;)

I love this handheld!!!

Ohhh I've more hours on Hades 1 than I'd like to admit 😅. I have purchased Hades 2 and played for a bit on PC, but I'm saving it for full release. Cult of the Lamb has been on my radar for a loooong time, wishlisted it for Spring Sale. Thank you!!
