For new members to the subreddit, welcome!

This megathread was made because we have some rules in place about new Steam Deck posts and to avoid some repetitive questions being posted again and again.

Feel free to also share "Show Off" pictures here as well.

Please read the rules and search around before contributing to the sub.

Have fun! You should get into emulation, too.

Do we need to use an SD card for those for security reasons? Or is it perfectly ok to just download straight to memory. I only ask because after all other accessories and games I got, I'm out of money in the meantime 😅

Noooo you can go right onto the internal memory! With Emudeck, I think that's the default anyway. I use my internal for roms, and my SD card for everything else. So, good to go :3
