  • Hey I can relate on some level! My alcoholism took over my life, to the point of losing jobs, dropping out, and having to sell my PC to keep my habit going. After getting sober, and discovering the SteamDeck thru a friend after a AA meeting I set a goal. I saved every dollar I would have on alcohol, and saved up for the SteamDeck. I’m in a bunch better place now and have gotten my life back on track, after drinking every day since I was 16.

    It’s crazy the OLED gets announced right as I reached that goal. Luckily I bought all my games on Steam (and couldn’t sell them for Vodka lol), so I cannot WAIT to have access to all my old games and saves again. I miss my Stardew farm so so much.

    Congrats on getting your life on track, I hope everything is looking up for you.



  • I just ordered mine today!! After getting sober I’ve put all the money I would have spent on alcohol, into savings for a Steamdeck. I finally made my goal today. A kind person on Reddit sent me a bunch of awesome games they had from Humble Bundles, that they weren’t going to use. So I already have a backlog.

    I’m beyond excited.
