Person has a Steam Deck that they don't use?

The only thing that keeps me from being genuinely baffled by this person taking the time to write this is the fact that I'm seeing similar takes elsewhere, which also baffle me to no end.

Are people really this enamored by "the thought of buying new thing," as opposed to, like, thinking about whether they'll use it?

Anyway, the Steam Machine seems like an extremely solid deal. It's a reasonably powered PC, and for an extra $200 or so, you'll get the guarantee that everything will just work, at least game-wise.
