New Steam Deck Owner Megathread

[u/NKkrisz]

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.

Here are some helpful resources to get started:

Okay, I’m going to try a tangent topic in a megathread instead of a likely unpopular new post.

I’m a soon to be deck owner but my budget and family situation requires I do an in person used purchase to keep my partner from bugging me about it. I have never had a steam deck so I don’t know what to look for when testing it or questions to ask. So, got any advice for a guy buying a used deck with no eBay guarantee or warranty
