Bg is great but save often. Especially after talk, banter. The game is open so you can easily wander into fights way over your head. Goto naskel mines then goto the fortress in the lower left corner then head to the bandit camp and cloakwood

Wait to explore the side maps till after you get to Baldur's gate.

Last thing I was doing was trying to get to a map to complete...what's his bucket's side quest...the guy with the Hamster. But I stopped and haven't played it in several weeks since then.

Super excited that Valve is finally realizing their vision of Steam Machines after all these years. While I'm personally not going to get any of these, I'm really happy for Valve continuing to push the boundaries of PC gaming hardware. They've exploded the once incredibly niche handheld gaming PC market, and I hope they can do the same with VR and reclaim the throne from Meta. As for the controller, I don't think it will make a big splash in the ocean of millions of controllers, but seems to be very solid, at least a huge improvement over the first Steam Controller.

The specs are mid, an overclocked Radeon 7600M with 8 GB VRAM and 16GB RAM with half a gig of storage. But it looks really nice. I wonder if they will be able to break out with it or what theyre expecting it to do exactly. If everyone who bought a Steam Deck gets one is it a success for them?

Im not sure personally if its going to sell as well as the Steam Deck, the niche for it is smaller. If its really cheap then I can see it doing well, if its priced closer to €1000 then I think it will struggle.

For how low the specs are, I can't see it costing that much to produce, so hopefully the selling price remains low. That's the only way I see it doing well.
