When you think about it in pure money terms, fixing things becomes a lot more attractive. You can’t get a better deal than $150 for a Steam Deck (the cost to replace the screen on the one you already own).

It’s always tempting to replace old stuff with new stuff, but it also always feels like a big victory when I repair something I already own. There is so much satisfaction in it, especially if you learn a new skill in the process e.g. soldering.

I want to play it in couch co-op but I kept hearing that you miss out on content by playing it that way. For a first playthrough, is that true?

Touchpad always works, but the haptic triggers and rumble need you to be wired. They also only work in supported games like Spiderman. I remember needing to go into desktop mode to enable the controller’s “speaker” for the rumble.

Do you mean features like the haptic triggers?
