Waiting for steam deck nvme variant now.. hopefully I will be able to score one easily
Steam Deck would be the perfect RetroArch machine.

So basically instead of making an underpowered PC worse then the current gen console performance seeing how the the GPU situation is not improving anytime soon, I decided why not buy a series S and a steam deck within the same budget and maybe two years down the line when the GPUs will hopefully be at MSRPs and we get out of this Corona infested mining silicon shortage hell I will build a kick-ass PC again

I'm basically covered on both sides now, a gamepass library and my huge steam library

Whatchu guys think? @Necrokiller @CerebralTiger @Chandoo

Forgot to mention, I got the series S at retail @299$

Pm me the method, my series S is already on it's way



It's this discord channel, join it and check the "retail start here" channel, it has step by step.


And congrats on the console purchase, I told you months back when you were getting a One S that you're better off getting the Series S instead. Der aye durust aye :D

Sounds like a good plan. Your whole Steam library in the convenience of a handheld and Game Pass on Series S. (y)

Also, in a game like Forza Horizon 5, if you even decide to install Game Pass on Steam Deck you can do cross-progression between your two machines. Plays on Series S and continue the progress on Steam Deck or vice versa. This might even work if you get it on Steam directly.

^ This is just unbelievable, if true. I mean that would mean that MS is presumably boosting 10-15 year old games for free while on the other side Sony is denying a basic 60FPS patch for Blood borne, not to mention charging for definitive / director editions for couple year old games. What a contrast in approach that is !!!

Sony won't giff anything for free! They would rather sell it again as a remaster. :(

This looks just as good as my 19 year old brain remembers it on a 720p monitor back in 2008.

Nostalgia overload.

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.
