As if we needed another one of these in this reddit....but you are getting one.
I have had my OLED for 5 months (I bought it because I didn't own anything to play Fallout New Vegas on, so my logic said: "instead of buying a system that can run it that would arguably be around $400 cheaper, lets just get a Deck cuz mobile gaming is life" CHAMPION LOGIC) and BOY....let me tell you, this past 5 months has re-lit my love for gaming. Not just gaming, but PC tinkering in general.
Seriously. I love this thing. Hands down, coolest piece of tech I have owned in years, probably since the PSP blew my mind as a teen. I can tinker to my hearts content if I want to. OR, if I just wanna sit down and blast through some Borderlands 3 while it looks absolutely GORGEOUS on my OLED screen, I can do that too. Do I wanna fire it up for some Helldivers 2 with the boys?! SPREAD SOME DEMOCRACY ON THE GO, YOU SAY!? Absolutely, I will do so.
Something that initially scared me away from the Steam Deck when they first released has become something of an absolute joy for me, and that is the Steam Deck Verified system: SO MANY GAMES that say "unsupported" work right outta the box, no tweaking required and play AMAZINGLY WELL (Space Hulk: Deathwing comes to mind). Yes, newer triple A tittles do need some tweaking, but I'm not a 60FPS snob, and having just spent the last 4 years of my gaming life playing on a switch exclusively, having an FPS cap at 45fps has me feeling like my Steam Deck is a FERRARI compared to the Geo Metro that is the Switch.
It does everything I want. It looks beautiful. Its comfortable to hold. Its supported by one of, if not the biggest games library in the world. It is backed up by Valve, a company that literally does not care if you tear the thing apart and work on it yourself. It's sexy to look at, its also heavy enough to be used as a weapon if someones tryna crawl in your windows, and will probably still work after you concussed the perp into submission.
Seriously. I love the Steam Deck OLED. If you are coming to this Reddit wondering if you should buy one.....
Yes. You should. Right now. Go do it. Today. Thank me later.
Edit: I apologize for the sporadic nature of this post. I'm on one today. Thank you.
Edit #2: Grammar. Don't drive a laptop while Caffeinated, apparently.
