Gaming can be very cheap, you dont need to spend thousands to start gaming, you need to in specific settings

I love the Steam Deck, but it’s definitely not worth $1000. That’s absolutely ridiculous. I guess I’m going to find a new hobby, gaming is becoming way too expensive.

Tell that to devs. Motherfucking Slay the Spire 2 runs like dogshit on my 1st-gen ROG Ally.

Most games do not need expensive hardware.
Last month I bought a retro handheld for 30 bucks. It can play all the existing catalogue of consoles up to PS1, and also pico8, tic-80, and small pc games via portainer.

I love retro gaming so much, and there are enough games out there from decades past to last a lifetime. (This, of course, depends on continued availability to this library via unofficial channels.)
There also are a vast quantity of newer indie games which don’t require high end hardware. I’d love to see a renewed interest in smaller scale projects.

There’s countless good games that work on older equipment. You could play for the rest of your life on just that slightly older stuff and not get through half of it.

Exactly. I’ve put more hours on my retro handheld playing ps1 and SNES games in the last year than I’ve spent on my desktop. It was $26, and I’ve hardly even dented the library it’s got.
