Yeah the vents are a fun addition, albeit somewhat slow as you have to crawl through them.
There was one vent that took me through a small alcove with dangerous goop, to another vent that took me to one of those horses. Safe to say we didn't get it down without damaging it considering we were up way high and that thing is heavy af.
I don't say no, I say yes and put my discomfort for anything aside, other people's wants are more important than my feeling
I don't know why no one is mentioning this, but your feelings are valid and important. Assuming you extend this to people you've just met, eventually someone will either take advantage of this or think you like them because you don't say no, even when uncomfortable.
Don't do that to yourself. Whatever you did (as a kid), you don't deserve that.
Partner is also suffering from depression so every freaking time I begged to please turn the tv off, it’s just ended in a 30 minute therapy session at home on how I can improve myself.
Eh, what? What does being depressed have to do with you asking to turn off the TV? I feel like they are using this against you, but there's not a lot of info to go by.
Perhaps a solution would be to get them headphones, too.
If the Deck stops being sold tomorrow, that has zero impact on the one I already have, save for the possible decline in spare parts available.
Yes, exactly. Getting it repaired (both within and outside of warranty) and spare parts availability.
Software eventually too, but usually that takes a while longer.
There are lots of reasons to wait to buy something, but "they might stop selling them" seems more like a reason to get something you want to have sooner, rather than later.
Would you have bought a Steam Deck if Valve would stop producing them after 3 years? I wouldn't.
Not saying you shouldn't though, each to their own and all that.
Surely it's enough for a given product to either be worth the price one pays at the time of purchase, or not be. Judge a product for what it is, not what it will be.
Yeah, that makes sense. I guess it's more of a principle thing. I don't need a Steam Deck so it's easier to distance myself making a purchase and wait it out. Didn't feel like only seeing a piece of hardware be continued for a few years (3 years for the Steam Machine and Steam Link, 4 for the Steam Controller) based on track record.
Yeah I don't mind waiting for that. Not very susceptible to FOMO. I do think it's been going better for the SD than the other hardware though, so I'm happy for the userbase.
I haven't bought it because previous hardware has been quick to get discontinued or support has stopped (steam machine, steam controller, steam link) and I didn't like that.
Told myself I'd buy a Steam Deck 2 because that would show long term support, though.
“If we stopped testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any.”
