Not digital. I used to preorder popular games way back before digital was a thing as supply could be tight, but it makes zero sense in a digital world where they can’t run out of supply.

Especially with how the trend today is release and drop hotfixes (or in some cases just laugh to the bank) I won’t drop $$$ until its in a good state

Mate informed me a hour ago his OG LCD battery is dead and it only runs on external power now…

Good thing they are somewhat repairable!

This is shaping up to be shiiit. PLS make smaller games with less staff and stop chasing bigger is better.

I fucking loved doom 2016 and the tightness of SP design was a feature

When I can finally beat act 1 boss I’ll be there with ya… I’m usually good at deck builders… usually…

Inscyption, dredge, ufo50, hades

Been great for me but I have had to clear config a few times to get settings to stick. Been mainly playing switch/with though, haven’t tried GBA. I have done writeups years ago on manually setting up emulators/steam rom manager, so I think they’ve done a great job automating a lot of it away… But at the end of the day it’s still a fiddly proposition

I also only got my first deck last month a d went through a similar though.

I’d suggest:

• Play with it a bit stock. It’s a great experience and you really don’t NEED more.
• If you have any interest in playing older consoles, Emudeck is an amazing experience and worth it for the ‘oh wow’ factor
• Add Plex / streaming though flathub/discover and add to steam for travel streaming
• Consider decky for a few QOL menu additions
• For pick up and put down games review threads on indies for games you’ll love. Balatro, Hades, Dave the diver, dredge, undertale, into the breech, FTL, the list is quite long and there are utter gems, but it will be dictated by what you enjoy
