I was looking at getting some roguelikes / lites (already have ToME, CoQ), unfortunately Cataclysm DDA is not on sale.

Krone Hotel at 90% off looks like a decent choice too. Then there’s Jupiter Hell, which I recently stumbled upon and looks great too.

I’d also like to get some of the FF games, though I’ve played VI, VII, IX and a bit of XII, it would be nice to revisit some of the older ones I haven’t played almost since the PSX era.

An excellent choice. Which model did you opt for?

[–] speccers@vlemmy.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
  1. Had enough rewards points from work to combine with my existing steam wallet to cover all but 9 bucks of it. I’ll upgrade the drive later.

Heck you could upgrade the screen later if you are feeling daring enough!

Hmm, did not know this. That is definitely a bit more work. But that is cool.

If you have someone with the etched screen around, go have a look at it before you embark on this adventure, I was very disappointed in the matte-ness of the screen.

What is a bit easier and relatively easy is to upgrade the ssd https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Steam+Deck+SSD+Replacement/148989

Have fun with your deck!

The most wallet-friendly choice is getting the 64gb model and a SD card or a bigger 2230 SSD.
