I'll do exactly this aswell. I already have a high-end PC and two Steam Decks (so will sell the LCD one)
I might skip out on the Frame though 'cause motion-sickness is real
The 'GabeCube' is a given. And the PS5 and Series X will go

I am all in on Valve.
In time, I plan to convert our entire home's gaming ecosystem to PC, Steam Deck, Steam Machine and Steam Frame.
It will largely depend on the Steam Machines price point; but even then, PC, Deck and Frame would be a thing regardless. 🔥🤌 #Valve

I've seen insane speculation about the #SteamMachine. Here's the real stuff:
- Perf around PS5, sometimes less sometimes more
- Price 'entry level PC', so around $650-850 (if a bit subsidized)
- Strengths: Separate CPU/GPU solution, no Windows
- Weakness: 8GB of VRAM
- Expect 40-60 fps@1440p

With the Steam Machine finally announced, that's the end for both my #PS5 and the #Xbox Series X
Let's go, Valve!

The first #Nintendo published game using Game Key cards
Rest assured there will be more
And they still have the guts to charge a full fat $70 for it, despite cheaping out💩

EA, BioWare.... the best way to celebrate N7 Day would be to unshackle Mass Effect Legendary Edition from the EA App requirement

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the game I've given the highest score this year

Games like this are so extremely rare. It's just fuckin' phenomenal

AAA publishers are now scrambling to push out their games before Nov 2026. I can almost taste the crunch
The hotly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI has been delayed once again, from May 26 to November 19, 2026.
The purpose is to give the team, "some additional time to finish the game with the high level of polish players expect and deserve." bit.ly/4oCb7yf

I'm quite baffled as to why #TheOuterWorlds2 didn't get a higher avg score from media outlets
Sure every playthrough could be very different meaning reviewers have vastly different experiences
But overall it definitely deserved to be an avg of 90 given how inflated video game scores are today

#Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is my last pre-order for the year
And next year I'm gonna cut back a lot on new day 1 AAA games, to declutter and simplify my gaming life to focus on the experiences that I'm truly excited for and matters most
Only one hard locked so far for 2026 and that is #Exodus

I can't stop playing #TheOuterWorlds2. It's so immersive and rich. It looks stunning, the RP mechanics are so much deeper and the world feels so distinct
It truly establishes the franchise as its own thing and brings it into the Pantheon among the other great RPG's

Played my first match of Gauntlet in Battlefield 6. And boy did it go well. Got really solid squad to win it all and also racked up the most kills with by far the fewest deaths

While The Outer Worlds 2 is a better game than the first one, it is a step back in some areas imo
It's not as funny and lacks the memorable standout characters, companions and side quests from the first game that dared to take bigger swings and had some bite to it
Also the branding was way better

I miss the console wars
Because gaming wars of today is who bought vs who didn't bought a specific game
That means any sort of critisism or praise is seen as hate or shilling
I highly underestimated how important it is for mouth-breathers to feel like they're part of a group/movement😮💨
