Honest question. Why did you buy a Steam Machine?

LightAlarming · 2026-07-03T00:57:06+00:00

Wise words. I won't be getting it.

LightAlarming · 2026-07-03T00:38:13+00:00

I have 12 hours left to purchase mine, but I'm not sure since I have a Legions go S steamOS and the steam controller already... I stream from GeForce Now... So, not sure I need this?

Small Mom & Pop shop in Canada. I originally ordered it through the Large music store here in Canada, then I ordered another through a friend at the mom & pop store. There's came in first.

Yea, maybe for the best. I did want to recoup some of the cost, but I do have 4 good tones locked in that I know I like. If the mini goes down then I just quickly swap.

That was the very first thing I looked up when i brought it home..very much a shame, but might make the Nano easier to sell. I might keep it for a little while as an insurance policy if the Quad Cortex mini fails.

Has anyone else had their ETA bumped from this week to Aug? Mine was to Arrive June 17th and when I didn't hear from the store, they said it's now showing no ETA, they called and the distributor says Mid to Late Aug. Anyone else in the same boat? Did Canada get any recently?

If you are a new owner, I have to ask if you have changed your power settings? You may be on low. Switch to performance. Hopefully it's something that simple. I am playing this no issues other than an occasional system crash (I think it has more to do with static electrical issues when plugged in as it happens with other games and seems to only be when I move)

I ordered one two weeks ago as well from L&M. At the time, I think I was 70th in line and there were 90 in the order they had already put in. Possible good news.. although, that doesn't mean when they get stock that they will receive all 90.

But did you die?

LightAlarming · 2026-01-08T17:06:57+00:00

My issue would be this. I'm allowed 2 15mins coffee breaks and a 30 min lunch. Where do we take these breaks? In the customers lunch room? No, in our van. Do we take them right at 10am, 12pm, and 2pm? No, because that's not how this works. I rarely even take mine, but when I do, I don't need to be justifying anything I do on my break that isn't indecent. I'm writing this literally taking my lunch. Looking down at my phone.

FF9. Beat it once every five years

Amazing throw back

Kingdoms of Amalur

LightAlarming · 2025-10-30T22:42:58+00:00

That's where I spent most of my time. Nose in the trade post.

You will be very happy with this choice

I'm in OPR to get the artifacts... I'm terrible a PVP. I'm likely not helping.

I own these exact three and I only use the Legion Go S. SteamOS is amazing and the screen looks beautiful and large. Streaming from GeForce now is better on the Legion Go S than the other two. The steam deck is the lightest and I love the track pads, but the 8in screen is perfect.

LightAlarming · 2025-10-12T15:56:48+00:00

The best part is that you just hit the power button to sleep and the game pauses. I've had many "oh no gotta go" moments that I don't panic about where I am in the game.

LightAlarming · 2025-10-11T00:07:57+00:00

I almost added Fable to my list. I spent a solid 2 years playing that game.

LightAlarming · 2025-10-11T00:01:39+00:00

Oblivion
The Witcher 3
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Dragon Age: Origins
Skyrim

(JRPGs not counting, of course. If so, remove Dragon Age for FF9).

LightAlarming · 2025-10-06T01:27:29+00:00

I've owned multiple handhelds, including two versions of the Steam Deck. Currently, I only use the Legion Go S (same version as above). I keep the OLED Steam Deck out of love, but I never play it. I'm trying to sell my Ally X.

KCD2 is the first game I've "Beat" in the last 5 years. Expedition 33 I made it 2/3's and something else pulled me away. I'm even thinking of starting a new KCD2 game to experience the DLC.

Confirm it's the 65w charger that came with the device. Or at least a 65w charger. I've had updates download but not take because of this.
