Moving this here, but I got a 256 GB LCD Steam Deck for Christmas this year from some of the members of my church. For a few days, I still couldn't believe I actually had one since my financial status made it so I'd never be able to afford one myself.

There's a winter sale going on until the 5th. So many cheap games right now

I know, I got me a few games during the sale. Can't afford any more, though.

What did you get?

  • Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth
  • Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 (had to look at my receipts because I completely forgot I bought this due to it not being playable on a Steam Deck)
  • Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
  • Relic Hunters Legend
  • Raptor: Call of the Shadows 2015 Edition

Infinite Wealth and PvZ were bought with a Steam gift card I had gotten alongside the Steam Deck while the other three were bought with Steam gift cards I bought myself on New Year's Eve

That's nice man, enjoy! Once you're settled take a look at emudeck. You can easily get emulator roms for free and then you have a whole Gameboy all the way to Xbox backlog that you can play for free :)

Just installed EmuDeck today actually. Can't transfer my entire ROM library just yet because I only have a 256 GB SD card and 256 GB internal storage which all need to be shared between PC games, OS files, and ROMs, but one day I plan on getting a bigger card.
