Just pulled the trigger on an OLED. I haven’t played a game on my PC for over a year, it’s simply used to stream football matches to my Chromecast on the weekends.
I already have a laptop and a PS5 that can do the heavy lifting. I also have a PS Vita that gets used daily simply because it’s so convenient, so I know the Steam Deck will get some play.
Just curious about others.
I will be sometime next year after I upgrade my iPhone and maybe help my mom with her new glasses and/upgrade for her iPhone as well. I am genuinely excited. Sure, I could just reset windows 10 on my pc to repair the corrupt install that was piled up from years of unknowingly being on insider builds but I needed the excuse to end my relationship with the evil that is windows as an OS, give my old tower to my chosen brother’s wife, go all in on the deep end of linux and then the first phase of my master plan of getting said chosen brother and his wife to switch over to the deck by upgrading mine after the deck 2 comes out and just casually hand off the oled to him. I genuinely won’t be mad of the deck 2 comes out either next year or 2025 cause he’s needed an upgrade more than me for well over maybe a decade now and I’m really looking forward to seeing the look on his face when I figure out the perfect joke to give it to him as I so often love to make my family laugh. Honestly considering learning to play poker just to ante the deck, win or lose it and hand it off to him and in either case, I win cause he gets a deck lol.
As for me, the deck is genuinely the absolute perfect machine for my needs as I mainly play indie titles and pixel based games with the occasional heavy title like sonic generations, Spyro trilogy and Tetris effect (which oh my glorious gods I cannot wait to see how that game looks on the oled screen). I will eventually get spiderman which I hear runs great on deck.
