Sometimes I have to enter buildings via backdoor/employee entrances so that I don’t attract a mob. Once I’m recognized, the shrill of screaming teenagers is enough to chatter my teeth.

Dressing down and/or wearing baggy clothing helps. A few times I’d send a lookalike to another part of town just to throw them off.

I wasn’t distracted by ROG nor any other upcoming offer from competitors. Valve has refined SteamOS over many years. Steamdeck is the product of that continued improvement.

There is nothing new coming out that can top that. The competition needs to catch up if they intend to stay in the market. And I doubt all of them will and, instead, offer one-and-done products for a cash grab.

(Aside: I’m watching how Nintendo responds.)
