I was in pretty much the same position. 2017 gaming laptop but it was having hinge issues so I finally upgraded to the Steam Deck. I have dual boot into Windows, a dock and USB hub, a keyboard, mouse, external hard drive, and monitor and even a tiny desk fan for good measure on cooling and I just primarily use Windows and then will go to SteamOS for portable gaming time to time. It has replaced the laptop well and fits a (larger sized) purse, and I have nothing else to say besides that it works pretty well for me.

Of course, it looks weird using it, but I can still be productive on the tiny screen outside using a giant monitor. It is very doable, it's just going to take accessories and be kind of weird in general. But I've been at it for a year, so... it's possible if you're willing to set it up and find a way you want to do this!

It is one of the weirdest and most interesting anime series, I'd always recommend it. It is definitely a bit slow at times though, but it was really fun and I'd still say it's worth watching. If you want something similar, but more action-filled (albeit slow and depressing as hell), Texhnolyze also exists.

Never expected to see mention of Tony Leung outside niche boards for Asian media or Marvel thanks to Shangchi, but this is amazing. Legendary actor, even when he was newer and in various wuxia series. Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre 1986 is still my favorite thing he was in. I don't think there's any actor I like more than him, he's incredible and I only have praise for him.

I do want to warn for the case of Genshin about Mihoyo banning people as the only way to get it working is with that one Anime Game Launcher that bypasses the anti-cheat.

The game still runs in SteamOS that way, and while I do know people often say it's not often it happens or rarely gets reported of happening, it is still a risk and I remember seeing somebody having a breakdown on r/steamdeck a few months ago because they lost a ton of progress in Star Rail after doing the same thing for it on the Steam Deck.

The safest option (what I do personally) is just using it on Windows.

I don't know if it works on SteamOS, but I use my deck in Windows very, very frequently due to using it as a main computer and I had a giant stack of years worth of code cards from the SUMO/XY era I never touched. I just used something called Camo to used my phone as a webcam and got through the stack pretty quickly.

I imagine there might be something similar for SteamOS, especially since you can use a phone as a mouse and keyboard with KDE Connection.

I knew there was a horrific-looking movie for Inkheart and I was a fan of the original book, but I didn't know there was a game adaptation of the film adaptation. Wild!

Hi! Could I please get Cats and the Other Lives? Thank you so much!

Considering it still makes a ton of money, more than you'd think! Certainly not a huge craze anymore, but it still has its fans.

Probably the fact that Go constantly updates and can have oddly level Pokémon, so one day they all technically could be possible, but aren't now.

Let's Go mons who can never enter Let's Go like Galar Ponyta though... no idea.

To flex their Pokémon. I'm not kidding, that's seriously the only reason why.

Actually, those Furfrous are impossible trades. The moment Furfrou is put in a box, it becomes its original form and loses the actual hair style it was. The only way to get Pokémon Home Furfrous with other trims is by having them come from Go, which they only appeared in for a limited time with trims being region-based, and make it better, none could be even close to level 100! You'll sooner find the Galarian Ponyta that can be transferred to Let's Go (this is a real trade you can request, you take a guess if it's possible). 10/10
