I’ve just made it to the city! I’m at about 250 hours so far, but TBF I am a very slow gamer. Yeah, it just keeps getting better and better as you go.
- Comment on What games did you sleep on for too long? 1 day ago:
I’ve not got to it yet, but ppl here have told me it’s still great in spite of its age. Just gotta finish baldur’s gate and control, then it’s next on my list.
- Comment on Can darknet fill in for NHS? 2 days ago:
Thanks, another user has given me some advice that pretty much echos yours. It’s something I will check out. Private care may be beyond my means - but it’s likely to be costly either way, and I’d prefer to stay on the right side of the law if poss.
- Comment on Can darknet fill in for NHS? 2 days ago:
Yeah, you’re probably right. Shame though, I like keeping active.
- Comment on Can darknet fill in for NHS? 3 days ago:
I’ll check it out, thanks.
- Comment on Can darknet fill in for NHS? 3 days ago:
Lol yeah, I know it does. That’s why I don’t really blame my doctor. Particularly as I live in an inner city area where hard drugs seem to be common.
I’m not sure there really is much between paracetamol and tramadol though. I’ve tried co-codamol, which is over the counter, and codeine which isn’t. Neither helped. I had one session with a chiropractor who was highly recommended but that didn’t help at all. Might have made things worse. I’ve found this one thing that does help and I’m pursuing that.
- Comment on Can darknet fill in for NHS? 3 days ago:
Yes, it’s definitely addictive. However in the couple of months my friend was able to provide me with tramadol I kept it at the same dose every day, didn’t permit myself to increase it. I see this as a necessary medication, not something to take for fun.
And I know it’s addictive - my friend had some packs left from after a surgery, and when they ran out I had a pretty rough week. I consider that a small price to pay for being able to fully function without pain.
I just have no idea how to use the dark web or find reliable suppliers.
I’m aware that there may be problems with postage, but this is a prescription medication - it’s not like crack or something! I’m willing to take the risk.
I’d rather go down a legal route, but that’s not worked out for me.

- Comment on Steam Deck Sales Reportedly Plunge 80% After Price Hikes 5 days ago:
It’s my only gaming device, so I don’t have much to compare it against - but I enjoyed cyberpunk on it, and am currently enjoying baldur’s gate 3. But yeah, I’ll definitely get steam deck 2 as soon as.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
What I needed to hear, thanks. Okay I’ll play it next.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Mate the last games I played before I stopped gaming were GTA vice city, silent hill, and unreal tournament. Then I got a steam deck a couple of years ago and lots to catch up on . Favourite games since then : bioshock, cyberpunk, prey, baldur’s gate 3 (playing now, just starting act 3). But I’ve played a few that ppl said were classics I missed out on that I felt didn’t how up - like system shock, half life, a few.
Good to know this isn’t one of those, I’ll pay it next, cheers :)

Okay, thanks, I’m going to give it a go! Had a bunch of other replies saying the same. I played bioshock for the first time a year or so ago, and I enjoyed that. Prob a remaster tho. But yeah enjoyed it and will prob play Witcher 3 next. Cheers!
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I’ve actually never played it. Had a twenty year gap in gaming until I got a steam deck a year or so back. It’s very well spoken of, but I’m aware that it’s also a pretty old game. Does it still hold up okay?
- Comment on The Great Steam Deck Crash of 2026: How The New Pricing Slashed Demand by 80% 1 week ago:
Yeah, it’s my only gaming device and I’m very happy with it. If they release a steam deck 2 I’ll definitely be buying one. Might have to sell a kidney though.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I’ve never played it, but it’s on my list. It is kind of an old game now though - does it still hold up?
- Comment on End of an era? 4 weeks ago:
I’d say this could apply to a lot of new cars too. But yeah, it feels pretty unusual to see an industry shit the bed like this.
- Comment on If Steam were to shut down tomorrow how much money would you have lost in total on games / DLC ?? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah same, less than I thought : 1445, but I’m pretty sure that includes my OLED steam deck. Savings a little over 2k.
- Comment on Single player games 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, right. I seem to be a slow player too - at the mo I’m 160 hours into baldur’s gate 3 and still only just in act 2. I think Amy multiplayer game with me in it would be frustrating for everyone. I prefer doing my own thing at my own pace.
- Comment on Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, a lot of people wait a few months for the bugs to be ironed out.
- Comment on Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform? 4 weeks ago:
I mean, it’s not likely to run on the steam deck and that’s my only gaming device, so. . .
- Comment on Is gaming better as a kid or an adult? 4 weeks ago:
I have much less screen time now as an adult. But games have grown in every way and are now a legitimate art form. It’s hard to say if I had more fun playing jet set willy on my 48k Sinclair spectrum, or playing cyberpunk on my steam deck. Both were great, in different ways.
- Comment on What is your favourite gaming console you have played? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, nostalgia is a big thing here. Past experiences that were amazing just don’t hold up compared to modern tech. In most cases anyway, some stuff is fairly timeless.
- Comment on What is your favourite gaming console you have played? 4 weeks ago:
I had the original Gameboy, and that was cool as fuck at the time. Later I had a PS2, loved that shit, spent an entire summer sat in a squat with my site boy mates, smoking crack and playing vice city. And silent hill, on my own, in the dark. Great machine, great memories.
But really I think my favourite is the one I have now, the OLED steam deck. Nostalgia aside, it’s amazing to see how tech has progressed in my lifetime. (My first computer had 1k RAM lol). Steam deck is, IMO, the best so far, certainly best I’ve had. I’m just pleased to have lived long enough to see things come so far from pong and pacman.

Yeah, wish I’d thought of it. There are always fools with too much money.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’ve built PCs before, could do it again, but I’m busy and I can’t be arsed. Also, it would probably cost about the same as this machine, just with me doing the labour. Plus, this device looks nice and valve have so far got a good record of making quality hardware, at least IMO.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 5 weeks ago:
Valve seem to have been pretty good so far about keeping scalpers from becoming part of their distribution network. Compared to the shit we saw with the PS5, for example.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’m on a similar salary. The only reason I could afford my steam deck is because I live in a van. Housing is most people’s biggest expense. Reducing that means I have a bit of disposable income, even a small savings account. But it’s not an ideal situation, and not feasible at all for some people.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I live in a small space so the steam deck is my only gaming device. Never tried VR but was considering the steam frame just for the big screen experience.
- Comment on Am I just bad at games??? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah just recently. Never played this type of game before but I’m really enjoying it.
- Comment on Am I just bad at games??? 5 weeks ago:
I always seem to take at least twice the stated play time to finish a game. Yeah, I think I’m just a bit slow. But if I’m enjoying myself, no stress. I’m playing baldur’s gate at the mo, 140 hours in and I’ve only just started act 2.
