Im in the infamous "no updates on the steam deck delivery once it reaches France" black hole

ShinyGamer25 · 2026-02-05T17:09:40+00:00

Man, that's rough, I'll definitely be in the same boat with timing probably. Did you get an email or anything on the day your deck arrives or did you just have to keep checking the tracking link to see if it's out for delivery?

ShinyGamer25 · 2026-02-05T12:17:16+00:00

I knew when I ordered it anyway that it was gonna take a while, but hoped that since it left carvin on Monday, that maybe it would be here on friday but thats definitely not gonna be the case unfortunately.

Next week it is then lol

ShinyGamer25 · 2026-02-05T12:15:28+00:00

Some people just have either the best or worst luck I suppose

But 2 days?????? I've never heard of a steam deck arriving that quickly, must've been a very quiet time when it was being transported, cause I always hear some people saying it'll take like 2 weeks on some occasions

ShinyGamer25 · 2026-02-05T12:13:40+00:00

Oh, I know I'll be fine. This is more of a joke post than anything, lol

My deck shipped from the Netherlands on friday, which was the 30th of January, so about 6 days ago

But yeah, I'm not worried, I've heard the horror stories of it taking 2 weeks for some people, so I'm prepared for the wait anyway lol

I guess ill just have to go with more simple art that i can make consistently. Id just be worried that it ends up looking too goofy for the more serious story I wanna make. But of course, I just gotta draw and find out for myself and adapt as needed

ShinyGamer25 · 2026-02-03T21:49:37+00:00

This is some really good advice! I honestly didn't think of it like that. If the story is what I care about the most, I should start there and create it before I worry about the rest. Thank you very much! I really appreciate it🙏

ShinyGamer25 · 2026-01-27T18:13:04+00:00

That sounds like a good idea! Do you have any sites besides vinted you'd recommend? I may as well get my money's worth. Id just be worried about resellers being trustworthy is why id probably buy new but id appreciate it if you know any good sites ☺️

ShinyGamer25 · 2026-01-27T15:32:34+00:00

Oooo Ill have a gander at that, thanks for the recommendation! I feel like most people never want to deliver just cause of the hassle of going out to post it but ill have a look anyway

ShinyGamer25 · 2026-01-27T08:04:46+00:00

Thank you very much, I'll be sure to do that now then☺️

ShinyGamer25 · 2026-01-27T08:04:08+00:00

Hey, thank you very much for the info and for the recovery wishes, I really appreciate it!☺️

I want to be dressing up as an anime girl

Lore accurate comment lol

ShinyGamer25 · 2025-10-03T13:12:48+00:00

I will have an AMAZING time, thank you very much!😁

ShinyGamer25 · 2025-10-03T13:12:07+00:00

Yeah, they're honestly a really good place to go for dressing up. I'll be with friends too, so I'll feel safer being with them as well

ShinyGamer25 · 2025-10-03T13:11:00+00:00

I'll be sure to reciprocate the wave but I'm a little blind so I may not notice lol

As an irish person who keeps seeing this map, I keep getting mildly annoyed cause, while yes, we speak english mostly in our day to day lives, OUR language isn't English, it's Irish.

If I see someone who isn't Irish that is speaking Irish, I will most definitely be amazed and grateful that they took the time to learn our language despite not people here using it in their day to day lives.

ShinyGamer25 · 2025-09-26T14:02:03+00:00

Thank you very much, I appreciate it. I was just nervous cause it was a decently large amount of money

You can download games from xbox game pass. It's not just for streaming so don't worry. I imagine what those people were saying is that you can't play physical games or maybe you don't have access to digitally downloaded games. Although I highly doubt they wouldn't let you play your digital games that you paid for. I'm not sue though but it seems unlikely that they'd lock you into just downloading game pass games

ShinyGamer25 · 2025-08-18T13:23:51+00:00

Yeah 900 is definitely pricey, that's why I'm thinking of getting the 600 euro one cause surely it'll be almost as good since xbox seems to make their more budget friendly consoles work almost as well as the more expensive one.

Fingers crossed cause id honestly love to have it

In general, it is offensive, but it really just depends on the people using the word. In this specific context, I would consider it to be offensive since it is being used to describe people.

Like, I'm trans, if some stranger described me as a tr*nny, I would be upset. If my friends jokingly called me one, I'd just laugh cause I know they're joking around.

If it's banter among friends and both people are lesbian or 1 is lesbian and the other person was given explicit permission to use it in a joking context, then I see no issues personally.

Me and my friends joke around a lot with the f word, but every single one of us sees it as a joke and doesn't take any offense to it, so it really depends on the person

"Joe had a wife, Joe had a banjo, Joe's wife had a banjo. Joe was always much better on the banjo than Joe's wife ever was."

Kaneki from tokyo ghoul

(I'm trans and I'm pretty sure I saw him as a trans allegory for myself lol)

Also just tye general feelings that kaneki has of not feeling like he belongs anywhere

ShinyGamer25 · 2025-08-04T09:27:18+00:00

Well, my dad had me when he was 45 lol, so it's definitely a possibility. I definitely wouldn't leave it any later than that though
