Since my Steam Deck broke I’ve been reading a lot more, so unironically a great suggestion.

The best part is that I actually get to own my books and pass them to other people after I’m done with them. Oh, and they’re not funded by underage gambling. And I can support a local shop down the street from me.

If this is being a dork and having a wasted life, I don’t want to change a thing.

I hope you’re able to practice talking to people more, as you clearly need work.

Same, Valve quoted me $197. I also found out that they don’t do their own repairs and—at least in my case—they’re outsourcing to https://www.reconext.com/ which has… less than stellar reviews.

• The 18 months post was a guesstimate. I bought it in November of 2023 which was 16 months ago
• It’s $185 + tax which is $197

3 month new warranty was offered after the repair was completed

This is not correct, it was a 3 month guarantee on repairs. (A 3 month extended warranty would be far more generous, but not what I was asking for).

why would you demand an additional 12 month “guarantee” on the repair

It is fairly typical in the automotive world, especially collision shops.

They never diagnosed a cause. They said it’s possible it’s not repairable and that they’d dispose of it for free or send it back.

As someone who prefers the Nintendo layout, it would be cool if they offered that as an option.

Transgender Americans and other minority groups are feeling it for sure. It’s just not the white suburban traditional family Americans who have felt the pinch yet (aside from the price of eggs).
