That may sound weird to you, but my favorite devices are those that grew on me and became special.
Like the Nokia N900, my first Gameboy or my favorite X24/X60 thinkpads. They have served for years and have a place in my heart.
My steam deck became special too as it took this type of special place.
I will not abandon the poor thing to the siren of a lightly upgraded hardware.
We have still great gaming times to live.
Honestly I feel the same way after thinking about it for a bit. I said I might give it to a family member and now I’m like “but it’s my baby??? My baby I saved up for and played hundreds of hours on???” I feel so attached to it
