Gettin' excited, y'all. Steam Deck looking awesome - even if Valve doesn't nail the software, I can toss me some Windows on there and make it work. But I'm getting the feeling it's actually going to get some solid traction. Will it be a "Switch killer"? No way. Will it likely have a dedicated following in at least some of the PC gaming community? Very likely.

Well, tomorrow's the day Steam Deck emails start going out. Hopefully I'll get mine soon. I doubt I'll be in the batch tomorrow, since I was a Q1 2022 instead of Dec 2021 initially, but I also didn't slip out of Q1 2022 with the delay, so there's hope.

Nice to see the "global chip shortage" didn't mess up your ETA too bad.

I've watched a few reviews as well. LTT, despite their click-baity thumbnail, seems to be super excited about it. (But yes, it is "unfinished" and Valve admits as such.) Digital Foundry was really impressed by the performance on hand, exceeding their expectations quite a bit. And the tinkering aspect doesn't bother me at all - that's firmly in my wheelhouse, so I look forward to eventually putting the thing through its paces.

I ought to be excited about the Steam Deck but strangely enough I feel perfectly content with my Nintendo Switch.

I can understand that, but since I've been slumming it with a pitiful laptop for a while (and an outdated but better rig from my brother), the Steam Deck actually represents an improvement over what I have, and gets me portable PS2/Gamecube/Wii emulation, a dream I've had for a long time.
Oh, and a ridiculous library of Steam/GOG/Epic/other games to play on it.
