Copped the Mass Effect Legendary trilogy for the 2nd time...$15 is too good a deal to pass up for cleaned up classics

Can't play it till tomorrow after work when my 1tb SD card comes

Playing Blasphemous in the meantime...I'm glad I held off on buying this on console because it's perfect for a handheld

I love this device. Not a performance beast, but the convenience of it has me picking up games that I should've played a while ago.

I’ve already gotten rid of my switch and gifted my account to a friend…I’m coming real close to getting rid of my xboxes…of course I’ll keep the account tho since I can play some game pass games on this…I’ll probably get a gaming PC as well…don’t see myself giving up on my PS5 tho

I got a gaming PC and the Steam Deck is the perfect complement to it if you get all your games through Steam - you can easily switch back and forth between the two. At this point I only really use my Deck if I’m out of town or just don’t feel like sitting at my PC.

Man I'm still seething at the fact that my external with the shyt load of roms and etc crashed out on me a year or so ago. I wanted to run some Square Soft piff off that jawn.

I don't blame you but I had to do it.

Not even gonna cap, downloading to it right now and it's slower than downloading to the SSD straight up (which makes sense), and I got 100GB of Mass Effect lined up

I'm mad as a bytch

Initially, the download speeds were going slow as hell so I tried to reformat on Desktop using a method I read about on the Steam forums that worked for people. I was able to do it and the speeds were better but still not full speed. On top of that, due to what you have to do to the partition, I was giving up 45GB if I stuck with that.

So I reformatted again using the normal method in gaming mode, and it started downloaded my games at full speed just before I had to leave for work

Them shyts is done and my Deck is just sitting there all alone waiting for me

Mass Effect trilogy running flawless for damn near all 3 games. Frames don't drop until 3 and even then, it's not gamebreaking.

The whole series on a handheld? I'm flabbergasted


Full disclosure though, I had to sign up for an EA account and link my Steam account to get past the launcher but once you do that, it's no longer an issue
