  Steam Deck LCD models are on a significant sale right now. Just sayin’…

    Looks like they’re out of stock on the on sale ones to me

  You don’t have to exclusively play new big-budget games with high spec requirements, an old laptop will play decades of old PC games as well as plenty of newer indies, or you can just go on eBay and buy someone’s last-generation console along with all their controllers and games for the cost of a brand-new game or two!

  Because who can afford a new gaming rig/system AND games to play on it?

  I live in a third world country, I’m not either rich or poor and I have a decent gaming rig (i5-10400 and RX 6600)

  For PC stuff you just need to know what to get and where would be the best place to get it (aka where is it cheaper) because here in Costa Rica (where I live) people will try to scam you into getting a 6600 XT for like $900 (US dollars, even though our currency is colones)

  As for games you can either hop on the ship and sail or wait until the next major Steam sale

    Try to search on every website that sells PC. Amazon, eBay, <I don’t know??>, etc… They sell “gaming” PC for like 1000$ with a old CPU (like Intel 7/8000) and a 1660

    Everyone is a scammer nowadays

        (For some reasons, Lemmy doesn’t want me to see your comment or mine 🤷‍♂️)

        At least those a meh specs, not the best not the worst. ~$2k is a scam but these are better specs than average “gaming” PC found on some websites

  You don’t need to play new games to have fun though.

  i mean my library has a shitload of games to rent. I’ve played a lot of games this year but only bought two.
