I was looking at getting some roguelikes / lites (already have ToME, CoQ), unfortunately Cataclysm DDA is not on sale.

Krone Hotel at 90% off looks like a decent choice too. Then there’s Jupiter Hell, which I recently stumbled upon and looks great too.

I’d also like to get some of the FF games, though I’ve played VI, VII, IX and a bit of XII, it would be nice to revisit some of the older ones I haven’t played almost since the PSX era.

An excellent choice. Which model did you opt for?

  1. Had enough rewards points from work to combine with my existing steam wallet to cover all but 9 bucks of it. I’ll upgrade the drive later.

Heck you could upgrade the screen later if you are feeling daring enough!

Hmm, did not know this. That is definitely a bit more work. But that is cool.

If you have someone with the etched screen around, go have a look at it before you embark on this adventure, I was very disappointed in the matte-ness of the screen.

What is a bit easier and relatively easy is to upgrade the ssd https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Steam+Deck+SSD+Replacement/148989

Have fun with your deck!

The most wallet-friendly choice is getting the 64gb model and a SD card or a bigger 2230 SSD.
