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?
