Bruh. Can we please just go back to talking about video games? I’m tired of this circle jerk. I’m happy for you that you bought an OLED, I’m happy that everyone is happy with themselves for buying an OLED. Pat yourselves on the back. Good job. I’m proud of you.

Can we please talk about video games now?

I bought 2, returned 1, and I’ll play the other one eventually. It’s just a little 2 hour narrative game.

I’ve found a pretty decent tactic. I try not to browse the shop when there are sales. I wishlist things, and when they go on sale, I start to consider them.

When I was younger, I had all the free time and the limiting factor was the number of games I could access. Now I have unlimited access to games and the limiting factor is the time I have.

I don’t need every game I would enjoy playing, I just need enough enjoyment to fill my free time.

In the hands, it feels very comfortable. Only complaint is the bumpers are a bit difficult to reach compared to a dual shock or xbox controller.

But the weight of it, and having to hold it with my elbows slightly bent to have it in a good position aggravates a persistent elbow injury I have. Though this is also aggravated by holding my phone too long, or sitting too close to my keyboard, causing my arms to be too bent for extended periods of time. So not necessarily the SteamDeck’s fault.

That said, picking it up and playing it an hour or 2, I’m not bothered at all. But when I first got it and spent an entire weekend glued to it I definitely and embarrassingly was injured.
