Alcoholic here. Was drinking everyday since I was a teen (around 16) for almost ten years. Went down a really dark path of almost being homeless, and having to sell my PC to drink and pay rent.
Thankfully nearly all my games were purchased thru Steam and couldn’t be sold or I probably would have lost them too. And my saves are hopefully still out there in the cloud somewhere.
Anyways after almost killing myself, I started to get help and started attending AA though, I was still drinking and fucking up. Then I met another chick who happened to bring her Steamdeck one day and I was amazed. I had heard of it before but seeing it and playing with it in person was something else.
That night I did a lot of research, and being able to access my library again – and saves, I had to have one. I eventually wanted to get a PC again but this seemed like a much more obtainable goal – and was absolutely worth the price. I then set a goal to stop drinking completely, and put every dime I saved from not buying alcohol into a separate savings. This was the first real goal I set in a long time. And I haven’t had a single drink since setting that goal. I know it isn’t much but I am proud of it, and I’m going to more meetings than ever. Being over 4 months sober is the best I’ve felt in a long time.
So now, I am just $50 shy from the cheapest model and had a couple questions.
(1) Can I use my wallet funds with a debt card to purchase it? I have about $20 in my Steam wallet.
(2) I’ve made it this long…and I’M DYING to play Rimworld and my old Stardew farm again… but should I just save a bit longer for a bigger storage model? I was set on the 64GB because I play mostly smaller size games. But I don’t want to regret that later. But I miss my games :( is the 64GB really that bad?

What games do you enjoy playing?
Rimworld , Stardew, Slay the Spire, and Factorio have the most play time. Oh and New Vegas. I got really into a game kinda like Factorio, but in space, shortly before I had to sell my PC to survive. It was called Dyson Sphere Program, was pretty damn cool.
Rimworld and Stardew will be my first games I get back into :D
If you have any csgo/cs2 cases/skins you could put them up on the community market for a bit of extra dollar
I don’t have anything that’s worth more than a couple cents lol
Congrats dude!
- Yes you can use your wallet and debit card for the transaction. Think of it as your buying a game on Steam, they let you use funds and a card to add more to complete the transaction.
- Extra storage doesn’t hurt, but I think some people either add storage through a micro sd or add more storage manually by taking apart their deck and putting it in. Wouldn’t recommend taking apart your deck unless you know what you’re doing. It’s completely your call for storage
