    Since my Steam Deck broke I’ve been reading a lot more, so unironically a great suggestion.

    The best part is that I actually get to own my books and pass them to other people after I’m done with them. Oh, and they’re not funded by underage gambling. And I can support a local shop down the street from me.

    If this is being a dork and having a wasted life, I don’t want to change a thing.

    I hope you’re able to practice talking to people more, as you clearly need work.

    • The 18 months post was a guesstimate. I bought it in November of 2023 which was 16 months ago
    • It’s $185 + tax which is $197

    3 month new warranty was offered after the repair was completed

    This is not correct, it was a 3 month guarantee on repairs. (A 3 month extended warranty would be far more generous, but not what I was asking for).







  • Yeah, I was excited for the Steam Deck because of the “pro-sumer” aspect of it in terms of repairability and customer support. I know the economic landscape has changed, but a 3 hour long difficult repair with $40 of tools and $80 of parts doesn’t feel particularly pro-sumer to me. Valve is charging $185 for the same repair, and I can’t get them to confirm that the repair would be warrantied (meaning, if it broke again in the same way they’d cover the cost again). Kinda frustrated with Valve right now (and, obviously, Nintendo and Sony aren’t any better).
