My steam machine arrived! (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) by als@lemmy.blahaj.zone to c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz
 

I got a place on the 512GB with Controller list, and got an email a few days after they started. I ordered it on Friday the 3rd and got it today on Thursday the 9th. The tracking codes were all over the place and gave different estimates depending which branch of each company I used. Steam claimed it was shipped when the courier said they hadn't got it so I was worried for a few days. But this morning Royal Mail (UK customer) sent me an email saying it would arrive today, while GLS said it would arrive tomorrow.

Safe to say I'm happy to have it now and be playing games!

Yeah yeah yeah, whatever. Tell me what’s the first game you’re going to play! :)

I've been playing Baldur's Gate 3, as it crashes my desktop so I've not been able to play it for the last year or two.

I’ve been a patient gamer on that front, waiting for it to dip below 40% discount.

…any day now.

I'm waiting for the gog $4.99 deal in 15 years.

Atp just pirate the game and when they discount the game, buy it

At least, that's what my non pirate friends usually do

My threshold is $10. Not $10 discount. $10 or less total price w/o tax. I’m gonna wait a long time.

As long as you have plenty of time, the price per hours you can spend in that game is very low.

It's got to be a cozy game that doesn't stress the hardware. Probably Stardew Valley or similar :p

That's right. Gotta break it in like a new engine.

Jumpman or Oregon Trail for the first 500 hours should do it.
