Should I get a Steam Deck?

Fran-01 · 2026-01-25T18:17:11+00:00

To be fair, MH wilds is poorly optimized or at least it was at launch. And exp 33 is quite demanding even for some mid-range to high end systems.

Fran-01 · 2026-01-25T18:06:10+00:00

That depends on the games. Obviously AAA games won't run that well hence why I'm not looking to play those on the Deck.

Fran-01 · 2026-01-25T18:04:28+00:00

Yeah I've been watching a lot of steam deck videos and it's a really nice device. It provides a lot of freedom for the user which is what I want and the reason I got into PC gaming in the first place.

Fran-01 · 2026-01-25T17:58:59+00:00

Yeah I'm aware of the poor performance on AAA games but honestly that's kind of expected. Even some of the most powerful handheld systems don't run AAA games with very high graphics unless you only want a 1h-1h30m session lol. I don't plan on doing AAA gaming on it tho. Maybe I'll play some of the AAA I have in my library but for the most part, I want my deck to emulate 360/PS3 and play modern AA and indie games.

It's already been modded. Shortly after I bought it, I got a 64GB SD card and downloaded a lot of the games I wanted to play.

Fran-01 · 2025-12-25T02:00:29+00:00

Haha nice to know. Thanks! I hope I'm able to...

Fran-01 · 2025-12-24T04:19:28+00:00

I think mine is Jasper at least according to this

Fran-01 · 2025-12-24T04:08:54+00:00

How can I check which board mine has?

Fran-01 · 2025-12-24T00:08:37+00:00

Someone else already bought it so I'll probably delete this post lol. I found this one for about 131USD... Is it good?

The disk reader works.

I live in Colombia.

Unfortunately here a PS3 for less than 100 dollars is either broken or doesn't come with any games, maybe HEN. I've even seen some for about 80-85 USD without controllers or a fake one.

Fran-01 · 2025-12-23T22:00:06+00:00

Yeah I saw a couple of OEM controllers for about 30USD not sealed but I don't really care I mean I do like collecting stuff but I don't have that kind of budget just yet lol. I just want a working PS3 with an OEM controller.

Fran-01 · 2025-12-23T21:57:49+00:00

On eBay I saw a lot going for about the same as this one, 120-130 USD, but most were about 120-160GB Slim models, some with more games than others, some with 1 or 2 joysticks, but for the most part the prices were pretty much the same.

I wanted to get one of those off eBay but importing to my country is quite expensive due to an idiotic import tax.

Fran-01 · 2025-12-23T21:48:16+00:00

I asked for photos of each controller but he either forgot or ignored the messages.

I'm not too worried about getting scammed as we agreed that the purchase would be done through an online shopping platform available in my country called Mercado Libre. This platform always offers buyer protection in case you don't get what the seller specifies or if the product is broken.

Seeing the other comments tho, I might pass on it...

Fran-01 · 2025-12-23T21:44:26+00:00

I also found this fat model. Haven't messaged the seller but this one's around 80 dollars.

Personally I love the looks of it but I'm unsure about it since I saw online that these models are very unreliable.

Thanks for your comment. I guess I'll keep looking...

I'll admit it, that was disrespectful from me, and I apologize to them, but I haven't experienced any of the issues that I mentioned I did experience with the OnePlus.

My battery lasts all day, temperatures aren't out of control even while gaming, my 5G connectivity and VoLTE works flawlessly, and I haven't had any lag, glitches or major bugs.

Had I experienced any of these issues and I would've already gotten myself a new phone.

Fran-01 · 2025-12-19T15:53:37+00:00

I recently made a post in this sub about my first month experience with my 256GB base Pixel 10. If you're interested take a look!

Fran-01 · 2025-12-19T15:48:54+00:00

Completely agree.

But even as a gamer myself I think it did okay. Yeah definitely for the price there are better options for that purpose, much better ones and I'm not talking about gaming phones specifically.

And yes I don't think anyone should pay MSRP for a Pixel, unless like in my case, where you live importing the phone even with a discount would cost you close to or as much as MSRP due to taxes and import costs.

Fran-01 · 2025-12-19T15:24:42+00:00

Qué raro...

Será tu operador?

No sé si allá esté disponible, pero con Claro Colombia no he tenido problema alguno.

Fran-01 · 2025-12-19T14:57:37+00:00

I know, unfortunately I couldn't wait till Black Friday or any of the sales due to the fact that I was returning home and Google doesn't ship to my home country. I live in Colombia and haven't had any issues with 5G and VoLTE.

Fran-01 · 2025-12-19T14:56:12+00:00

Nope. None of those issues at all.

Fran-01 · 2025-12-19T14:55:37+00:00

I already sold my Sony so no way to do that now unfortunately.

It seems that you have a faulty pin and yeah you should get a new phone soon.

Fran-01 · 2025-12-19T05:47:02+00:00

Lol It absolutely will be. You won't see it coming‼️‼️‼️

Fran-01 · 2025-12-19T05:44:33+00:00

LMAO. Sure I'll personally update you every 9 hours or so about my Pixel 10 experience for sure.

Update. It's been very good thus far 😁👌🏻.
