    The Steam Deck is my best gaming purchase in the last 10 years. It seems to be the gift that keeps on giving. Its what owning a device should be about.

      Damn fucking right it is. I got a full on gaming rig that I built right before the insane price hike hit that I now can use to host local LLMs and do simulations on while gaming on the Deck.

      Despite getting myself an professional level 3D printer that actually makes me some decent money. The Deck is still the best purchase I’ve made I the last 2 years.

      Edit: Best thing is. I got the OLED 500 GB model used for less than 400 bucks. Again, best bang for buck I ever had.

          Relacement parts for vintage motorcycles. Light fixtures, battery trays, mirror housings etc. basically everything not critically structural where the original part has either broken or withered away. Since replacements aren’t available anymore 3D printers are perfect for that.

      Id say it’s the best gaming device I’ve ever had of any type (though mine was a gift, so the purchase part didn’t apply).

      It really is what I always wanted in gaming, but didn’t really think was possible.

        I completely agree with your last sentence. Only my Amiga 500 comes close as my favourite gaming device, and I can emulate that on the Steam Deck, so unfortunately its back in its box.
