I haven't had this level of FOMO in awhile, but I think I'm going to hold out for a SD 2 because I'm more a developer than a gamer, so I'd use it more as a portable dev machine. SD would be mediocre as a dev machine, but the SD 2 might be enough. 🤞

Not with that attitude.
There are ways to play nintendo games on the deck. You must be living under a rock if you don't know about emulation.

Lol ok...I had the Steam Deck for all of 3 hours before returning it. OneX and Legion Go are exceptionally superior. Something is wrong with people who worship the SD like it's the second coming.
