      The 512 LCD Deck is a stupidly good deal at 25% off… $330 USD is crazy cheap for a new Deck, and that’s a solid amount of starting storage space before you even move to grab an SD card.

      I own both in the household, and while I do enjoy some of the OLED Deck’s improved features, the original is NOT a slouch… I wouldn’t sleep on it! The display is MUCH better than it was at launch thanks to software fixes, and the screen can safely be overclocked from the base 60 Hz up to to 70 Hz with minimal effort, further reducing the gap between the models (OLED is 90 Hz) and allowing clean locking to 35 FPS, a great balance point for smoothness vs battery use.

      Since I own both, I can tell you what you’d mainly be missing taking the LCD: basically you’d giving up battery length (OLED is about 25% better on battery life… but the whole issue is mute if you primarily play older games, or mostly play while plugged in), about a half inch of diagonal screen real estate, plus you’re taking a somewhat less precise touch screen, and taking a slightly older Bluetooth adapter in the unit. In exchange for this, you get a new Deck for more than $200 less than the base OLED will cost.

      Otherwise, these two are very similar, so it’s a very good time to get a Deck.

      Gnorp is a ton of fun. Ive been playing through guild wars to try to get gwamm but man is it a chore. Never did get through stalker, got walled in the section after the first loading screen with that area with the trucks and all the dudes with shotguns coming at you, but this was like over a decade ago that I tried. I mostly remember the flappy gums of one of the guys at the beginning saying "frau geobrau, pipe down m’yan, let me feel you een!’

    This sale, only Sonic X Shadow Generations. I have a big payday in December though and will be buying a lot for Christmas.

    Maybe Sonic is good again. I’d hope. I’ll buy Frontiers since I’ve tried to avoid spoilers for too long.

    Alien isolation Uncharted legacy of thieves Resident evil Bioshock infinite.

    I’m just getting back into gaming after a twenty year gap so I’ve got loads to catch up on. I’ve been enjoying FPS stuff, but I’m frustratingly bad, even on easy mode. Need more time for practise but work long hours, ho hum. Hopefully I’ll find time to try all of the above. Recently finished bioshock original and loved it.

    SpiritFarer is an amazing deal if you haven’t played it yet. Super recommend it.

    I finally bought Kingdom Hearts. The price is steep, let’s see if it pays off.

    I bought up Psychonauts 2 and Jedi Fallen Order for myself. A friend gifted me Astlibra (which I’m really excited about), and Brok the Investiagator.

    I also gifted a copy of Shadows of Doubt and F.E.A.R. Hadn’t realized until after my friend tried it, but turns out F.E.A.R. is one of those games that runs perfectly on linux, but doesn’t run well on Windows anymore. Requires multiple patches to remove memory caps for windows, and even then it still has fps dips for some reason. Meanwhile linux/steam deck runs it perfectly.
