It can absolutely be upgraded, DIY is always going to be cheaper, and at current prices more ram would cause an outsized price increase compared to the performance gains.

8GB vram is perfectly acceptable for the performance level of this box.

They've definitely had new steam decks on sale before. Mine was 20% off just last year.

So glad I got mine on sale last year

The surge of Chinese accounts logging in during February is because of Chinese New Year, not bots. Most Chinese people get like two weeks off work for the holiday, so the number of Chinese people playing at gaming cafes (which are exclusively windows) spikes like that every year.

Omg how did I not know I was supposed to be rotating to scroll? I thought scrolling was just suuuuper jankey because it never seems to do anything consistently when I swipe 🤦‍♂️

Neopets: the Darkest Faerie

What's wrong with the jsaux website?

This isnt quite what I had in mind, but I didnt even know form factors like this were an option! I think this exactly meets my criteria

Been checking the refurb page for weeks now. I'm about to pull the trigger on this.

Any recommendations for a budget dock that I can buy from somewhere other than amazon? I've been boycotting amazon since pre-covid and I dont intend to break that here. I'd love to find something cheaper than the official valve one though.

Accessories like this are always the hardest thing to find direct from the manufacturer/on other platforms.

Peak is really great. It's still a little buggy sometimes, but the devs are constantly patching and improving it.

My partner and I have been playing it two player, which I think is harder than a full team of four. We've played at least one round near every day for a couple weeks now, and it's not getting stale at all. We've only made it to the 3rd stage a couple times, and never even seen the 4th. The maps change every day so it's always a new challenge.

100% worth the price of admission, would recommend.
