the blog of a disabled mother who likes to game, and "get in the pit"
I swear, I’ve had a migraine for going on five days now.
I’ve taken prescribed medication for it, but if this continues not to work I’m going to do the prudent, necessary thing and see a doctor over it. This migraine will just not go away or break no matter what I do to try and break it, and that’s really frustrating. I would like to resume doing normal everyday things, please.
I’ve been letting Bub’s functional Steam Deck go, downloading all of his games like a good little soldier.
…okay, maybe most of his games. I’m not quite willing to splurge on a Deck with a larger internal hard drive unless these things have really been proven to last, and we didn’t quite get the bang for our buck that I had hoped we would get with the last one. So I’m piling them on several at a time to ensure that he has all of the ones he is currently playing or would really want to play on a car ride or in the doctor’s office on the Steam Deck going from there, and I’m dealing with the city that we live in being the city that we live in again (since when are local ATMs not skimmed? it’s gotten to the point that I know exactly what I need to do in order to get any fraudulent transactions reversed in a prudent enough period of time, although I would seriously just as well never have to deal with this again because I would much rather not live in this area, but I digress…).
It’s going to become so much more annoying than it already is stopping at the local branch of the bank that operates out of the grocer near my house to pop off food money and rent as I need it, but it certainly seems like that’s actually going to have to be done to prevent my debit cards from ever being skimmed. Again. Sigh.
Bub’s new Steam Deck came a day earlier than I thought it would, and it functions well!
It charges, which made me so happy to see and is something that I hope holds for a very long time!
I have been putting his games on it for the better part of the day and I am excited that he is so excited that he knows he has a functional Steam Deck. Seeing my baby’s happiness brought, or given, back to him makes all of this frustration worthwhile. But he has quite a diverse game collection, so I am aware that this is going to… take awhile, and I am aware that I am going to have to choose which games are installed on the device at any one time substituting them out as needed or even just playing them on the computer because I am not going to pay for a more expensive Steam Deck if it runs the high risk of overheating or just no longer charging one day. This is something that I feel like Valve needs to fix and have fixed before I am willing to buy a more expensive Steam Deck on behalf of my son. If this were, or had been, fixed, I would consider it.
