i'm really close to pulling the trigger on a high-end steam deck for the holidays. thinking of it as a nice 10+ year investment on games since i've been historically locked on Nintendo consoles (aside from a brief PS3 excursion in college). the final bits that convinced me is:

a) it's apparently got emulation capabilities and built off of linux so even when i burn through the "big" titles, it's effectively a permanent library if the storage is big enough and might give my (also linux) laptop a bit of a break. (fe:fates revelation on the big flatscreen tv??? hell yes)

b) speaking of, having a way of playing PC titles on the TV with a gamecube/switch controller? so worth it alone for that reason.

c) it'll be a great way to complete 4chan's top 150 games of all time challenge which is genuinely something i want to try to accomplish. finally getting a chance to see what classic Halo is all about? dishonored 2??? RDR2? poggers.

between that and the recent gamecube + emulation spree i am set for life with games lol. anyway, games on the wishlist so far:

- elden ring
- W40K rogue trader (< there are so many characters that look so compellingly thirsty lol)
- fallout 4 (nick valentine omg!)
- sekiro
- halo master collection
- metal gear solid V (and peace walker if I can manage it)
- the witcher 3
- god of war
- baldurs gate 3??? maybe? (ZEVLOR HERE I COME <3)
- red dead redemption 2
- mass effect 1 (< never got a chance to play that one vs 2 + 3)
- dragon age 2 (hated inquisition but heard good things about DA2)

- (already in the library), kotor/kotor2, portals, half lifes
