Steam Deck
Dec. 2nd, 2022 10:54 amOrdered a mid-tier Steam Deck earlier this week. Tracking shows it should show up on Monday. Which might mean it'll show up on Saturday. Either day is fine really as I have Monday off for vacation. I'll just be keeping a close eye on the tracking each day and stay at home if I see it go out.
Probably going to need/want a Steam Dock as well since that allows the deck to connect to a wired connection instead of depending on wifi. Again that's fine as I was planning on picking one of those up too. Might order that on Monday after I have the Deck in my hands.
We'll see if it lives up to the hype. At the very least it'll probably be able to play more of the games in my collection than my actual computer. ^^
This ordeal did teach me to never let Steam save my billing information though. When I decided to do so since I was ordering an actual physical object this time, I messed up. I typo-ed the postal code - had a number where a letter should have been. Steam tries to auto-fill Shipping info with your Billing info, so I wanted to try to get this fixed. (Was able to fix the Shipping info itself though.)
Turns out to change the billing info you need to basically re-add a credit card. Great. If you have a credit card or are willing to let Steam have it. So I had no way to do it. Put a note in to steam's support and they finally got back to me 3-4 days later. They actually told me due to the country I'm in, I'm not allowed to save my billing info anyway so they unsaved the entire thing.
Would be great if they'd just not to auto-save my fucking billing info every time I make a purchase then eh? Not like it's a secret to them what my country is when I'm giving them my address. Haven't bought anything since then so I don't know if it'll go back to trying to auto-save my billing info. (it's auto-checked. Gotta remove the checkmark before continuing with the purchase.)
