I'd only get a steam deck if I can get one hands on to try like a demo or something. I just don't want to end up hating it like I did the Switch lite is all.

Last games I bought were Dragon Quest III: 2D HD Remaster via Steam & Bloomtown.
----I asked my husband to get me Metaphor: ReFantazio for the PS5 instead. :3

I definitely second this opinion. I also wasn't sure about the idea of one until I held one in my hands. It is definitely bulkier/heavier than any of the Switch models, but it does fit nicer/more comfortably? The grip feel of the Switch isn't the most natural, so hands can wind up cramping (at least for me, with my stupid thumb arthritis) and I think the Steam Deck definitely has the form factor down to not pinch the nerves there for me.

I think places like Best Buy or maybe even a GameStop will have some on display if you can't find someone you know let you borrow/try it out. Smile

Yea, I'll definitely see where I can try a Steam Deck out at. Probably Best Buy since it's closer. :3

Recent Steam Fall purchases: Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, Europa, Luma Island, RPG Maker MZ, Beyond Deep, & the Half Life series when it went on sale last month.

Humble Bundle choice picks I grabbed (From November):
Garden Life: A cozy simulator (reminded me of the 3DS game where you would pass someone who would give you a plant and you could turn it into a seed or cross pollinate with it.).
Book Walker (I liked the way it seemed to play.)
