Went through a hard break up a month ago. My ex was a software engineer. And we’re together for almost two years. She bought me a steam deck for my birthday and basically modded it to infinity. She would always find ROMs for me and install them on my steam deck. I was devastated when we broke up, because I lost her tech know how. I just tonight booted up my steam deck for the first time since she left. I taught myself how to use emu deck and find all the bios I needed to run my favorite PS2 games. I’m so proud i was able to do it all myself. I used resources from this sub. So thank you to everyone for your support. If anyone else is going through a similar situation it will get better. I know the community right now is hurting with steams price decisions I wanted to post something happy for you guys. And for some reason if my ex is on this sub I just want to say thank you. Thank you for buying me a steam deck I will always cherish it and play my favorite childhood games. I wish her nothing but happiness for her future.
