Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•[Discussion] Steam Autumn Sale has started. What are you buying for your Steam Deck?
3·2 years agoThis 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.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•(TRUTH) New year and reflection time for past 6 months
1·3 years agoIt’s my main PC gaming device since my laptop is even struggling with TF2, and occasionally Ultrakill (which I only play there because I want M+K, and I might just start plugging those into my Deck), so it has been more than 95% of my PC playtime since I got it 1,5 years ago.
Which I’m fine with since I can’t bother with a desktop, and gaming laptops are too loud/hot, both from older experience and seeing others.
The average earnings in European countries, however, vary significantly. I think I remember checking years ago that here in Poland, games and consoles cost 2-4x of the % of minimal/average income compared to other Germany, though you could also look at spending power. And plenty of countries have it WORSE.
I know for a fact that when I went on a trip to London, I was kind of disturbed by how expensive food is if you only compare GBP to PLN via the exchange rate.
Edit: Also, OP could just be a student with a part-time job or something. I’m not saying being American makes you rich or anything, it just means that once you buy all the essentials (food, rent) which should roughly cost “the same” in most countries, you can do more with your remaining money.
ALSO, PSA: Some companies try to do regional pricing to make things actually affordable, like Netflix subscriptions. People then use VPNs to buy them for a cheaper price (sometimes 10-20x cheaper, if they earn in USD) and the the companies have to go back and sell them at close to a 1:1 currency exchange rate (saw it happen to Dead Cells too, the devs tried but they ended up losing money). If you meet anyone like that, tell them they are assholes.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•[Discussion] Steam Winter Sale 2023 - What games are you buying?
1·3 years agoIt also plays pretty damn well in single player. I actually enjoyed it more than in the few co-op sessions I had, and 100% including rushing NG+, which I do less often in games now.
Are you American or something?
I think a lot of other countries would consider consoles expensive, as well as games and other imported/regionally priced things.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•[Discussion] New month of a new year, new games. What are you playing on your deck? - January 2024
2·3 years agoPrey, after a friend recommended it to me. Had mild nausea early but it must’ve been getting used to it, though Borderlands 3 wasn’t as bad I think. Besides that, I appreciate that there’s an official default control scheme for the Deck and in-game icons for the back buttons.
Also Binding of Isaac. This one benefits the least compared to PC, because I’m glued to my laptop or phone looking up info anyways.

Can’t believe a quarter of my playtime was The Witcher 3. I don’t know if I would’ve even finished it if I played on PC, it’s so damn long. I don’t play much AAA though I guess, but JRPGs are long too.
Also, it just occured to me that I spent plenty of time emulating too though…
