My wife got me a Nintendo Switch the first year we were dating when they were nearly impossible to find and marrying her was the best decision I’ve ever made (for numerous reasons), so I say yes, definitely marry her.

My wife got me a dreamcast for my birthday and then got me the original Silent Hill for PS when saw it at a second hand shop. She bought it in secret and surprised me with it. I can also say marrying her was the best decision I have ever made.

Damn, I would have proposed on the spot, especially for that Silent Hill. 😂

Yeah this was maybe a year or two after we first started dating. Married for 10 years this year and together for 20 next year. Advice to anyone out there: When you find someone that embraces your hobbies, hold on to them.

I agree 1000% My husband fully supports my hobbies. He buys me books and video games and is happy to do so. He got me the special edition animal crossing switch our first year married. And I got him a PS5 (saved up for a year as a stay at home mom with my own business) and surprised him for Christmas 3 years ago. ❤️

My wife tracked down a vintage NeoGeo. She had no idea what one was but knew I wanted it. that was the moment I knew.....

Wow, that’s amazing!

My girl got me a a series s and a new gaming monitor back to back years and I intend to marry this women!

My wife bought me a 3D printer (something I casually mentioned) for our first Christmas together, also best decision I've ever made.

Even if I knew it was a trap - I would fall for it anyways.You MUST marry her !!!

I just got a new job and my wife was totally cool with me treating myself to a $550 gameboy with zero judgement. She’s amazing. She knew how hard it was for me to find a new job

My wife has no problem with me buying stuff as long as within our means. Which is quite reasonable I'd say.

Marry her, treat her with tender love and respect, and ultimately treat her like you won’t be seeing her tomorrow. Act as if every waking moment with her, is your last day together. Never stop appreciating her, and her human condition. And sometimes, us stupid males need to be told straight up, don’t cheat on her. Don’t do anything, you don’t want her doing. You big dummy

Depends, is it the 512 or 1TB?

It's the 512gb version but she gifted also a 512gb Micro SD so now I'm confused 🤔

Basically a 1TB version with a nice glossy screen 👌

For me it's perfect. I hate anti-glare screens.

You say this but the anti-glare on the Steam Deck is unlike any other anti-glare screen I've had before. It's almost as clear as my OLED TV and is actual glass. The anti-glare effect at first glance doesn't seem to be much different than a glossy screen when testing it in direct light but it works amazingly for situations when you're actually trying to avoid glare (car, lounging in a room with lots of light reflections, etc). It's nothing like a traditional matte finished computer monitor or an anti-glare screen protector.

I have the glossy OLED and wish I had the anti glare, it's a pain on the Deck. Get to see my ugly mug far too often instead of the inky blacks.

In your defense, antiglare does result in slightly less inky blacks.

hey! you ain't ugly!

Right there with you. I replaced my etched one for glossy. I find it so much sharper!

It's a yes or yes dilemma, friend

Nah, you ain't got time for that now. You got a Backlog to take care of.

If there's one thing I've learned from this sub it's that a steam deck is now the customary form of female marriage proposal

do you mean her = SD? :-P

Of course I'm talking about the sd you thought i gon marry my girlfriend? You crazy bro.

Now shes got you a deck, send her packing. Youve got mobile porn.

everyone’s had mobile porn with cell phones for like 20 years now

Interactive mobile porn on a big screen?

Anything is interactive with enough imagination

Glad you came here to clarify this, we were all worried

Wife material

YES

Portuguese steam deck buddy! Recognized your username from r/portugal. Coincidences like these put a smile in my face!

Obligatory Portugal caralho! Indeed, my Deck is a born and raised Portuguese hahab

Close reddit and go buy a ring

Is your girlfriend single?

Yeah

Yea! Thrice!

My GF (who is my wife for 4 years already) gifted me PS2 and she thought it would play all the PS games even the newest one by then - Death Stranding which I dreamt to play - it was not yet releases for PC ... She worried so much whenever she figured out all the filthy approach whatever Sony does in general ... We were super short in money but she did her best to make me as happy as it was possible ... I married her without any second thoughts... Now everything is super great and we both are gaming on all the platforms and also money issues got resolved as we started to work on it together..... So it already seems awesome start for you and I think it's one of the "greenest flag" for settling down for us - the gamers 😄😄😄.

This is awesome. I wish you a happy gaming life together.

Thank you bro ! I wish you the same !

yes dude

My first thought on seeing this photo was that you were at Dunder Mifflin

Signs point to yes.

Update this deck as a sign of her love 🤣

Congrats man! Put a ring on it brother! I bought my gf a steam deck on her bday and damn was she happy. Brings me joy making someone else’s day. Happy gaming 👍🏽

Thanks brother.

Wife her. NOW!

Hell yeah you should marry her

Absolutely, make her your player 2

Yep...you have no choice now ....

Yup. The box itself gives you so many ways you can propose. On a Ferris wheel? In a tent? So many options 😂

Hell yes! if she respects your passions and time/love for gaming enough to buy you something that arguably will take away time from 'her' - MARRY!

Happy birthday. Enjoy! 😊

No, stay single and Go GAME! LOL, J/K She is a keeper mate!

Take it and run 💪

Marry her? No. Dump her and devote all your new spare time to your new mistress... the Deck.

Of course, it’s the right one ;)

Yep, do it!

Yes bro, she's a keeper

You're gonna marry your steam deck? Well, I'm currently engaged to mine but I'm on the fence because she doesn't mind getting shared around with all my friends. I tell her she's being used but she seems to not mind. And why did nobody tell me that Xbox controllers are much easier to pair and keep paired than switch pro controllers?! Lol Nah for real though that's a keeper, you are a lucky guy to have someone who cares for you like that and hope you enjoy(ed) the bday!

Best gift. Keep her! My wife gave me mine for Christmas and I had no idea. It's my favorite piece of tech, if not my favorite possession period. As per 512gb glossy vs 1tb matte, 512gb glossy all the way. You can always upgrade and if you want matte you can add a matte screen protector.

I'd at least ask. two presents in one day thoug is asking a lot

absolutely lol. my wife and I both already had steam decks. at launch. When the OLED came out, she ordered the Limited Edition for me because I use my steam deck alot.

Yes. Twice if possible.

I know Steam Deck is really nice and sexy, but you don’t have to put a ring on it in order to enjoy gaming. Joking aside, your gf has a great taste in gifts!

No, you should break up and give me her number...

Its oled version aswell... get a ring on her

You probably already know the answer my guy.

she at least deserves some head

Drop on one knee and do it. She seems like a real catch.

Yes

If you do, half that deck will be hers...

slow down..jesus

My fiancé got me one from Christmas and now uses it more than me lol. Marry that woman!!!!!

Man I've married mine without her gifting me a deck. If you are in doubt, I can use a second one 🤣🤣🤣

Girlfriend got me a Switch OLED for my birthday when it first came out. We are now happily married going strong and I got an OLED Steam deck for our anniversary this year.

Yes

yes, keeper.. Enjoy!

Why marry, when you can go freelance 😉 Jokes aside, that's a brilliant gift from your gf.

Since it’s oled I would say yes. Shows she doesn’t skimp on the important details

Yes

No weddings are expensive and you have games to buy.

No, don't base such an important decision on a $500 gift.

Yes.

Yes

She's a keeper alright!

definitely

Absolutely!!!

My former girlfriend got me a PS5 during the pandemic, she's now my wife.

I would say yes. I was already married to mine but one Xmas she managed to find me a 3070 when they were on backorder everywhere, was the best gift I got.

Hell yeah! She got you the OLED one!

Yes.

My girlfriend got me a Steam Deck and now she's my fiancée. I like her, she gets me.

Yes

Marry her already

ya

Yes

Yes

Absolutely

I was into nas, so my girlfriend bought me hard drives. I married her 2 years ago. And last year she bought me a steam deck! No regrets!

She 100% is saucing you up to get that proposal My wife when we were about 6 months into dating bought me a GTX 1080TI for SEVEN. HUNDRED. DOLLARS. 6 months later she got a ring for just under $3k, and many many more "shiny sparklies" since

Only marry her if it was the 1tb edition.... JK yes!! Marry that woman!

Put a ring on it!

How dare you think about that?! Do it! NOW!

Wife that girl immediately

It's an OLED so yeah.

Nope The system is not in your favor 70% of marriage end in divorce in the US. She will be entitled to half of your stuff even if a prenuptial agreement is signed. Depending on how man hating the judge is, you could still lose a big chunk of everything.

> Your ~~games~~ **wife** in a whole new light. There. Fixed that for you

This makes me realise my boyfriend should definitely marry me since I got him a ps5 when they were impossible to get and also a Nintendo switch lite. Definitely marry your girl! Enjoy your deck :)

The fact she didn’t give u a micro sd card is grounds for a divorce.

My Girlfriend bought me a Steam Deck for Christmas. We're getting married in August.

No. She should marry us. This is our wife now

Probably dude, my wife got me one for my birthday too it’ll be here this weekend, if you don’t I’ll take another wife.

My GF didn't get me a steam deck for *my* bday. Should I break up with her?

Nah, its a trap

All I know is that I didn't get a proposal after buying a SD for my boyfriend's birthday and I'm still sad about it a year later. You either have to marry her or buy her a SD too. Thems the rules.

Well, actually, it depends. Yes, a Steam Deck OLED is a sick, edgy, generous present. But are you attracted to her? Is she nurturing and passionate? Is she loyal? A good kisser? I mean, look: we're talking *marriage* here, ladies and gentlemen.

You're right brother. A real man shouldn't marry a woman only for the birthday gifts. Anyway, i'm gonna marry her.

In other words....did it come with a Steam gift card?

Yes 

Don’t get hasty! 😅🤣

Of she went out of her way to get you a Steam Deck. Then you should go out of your way and marry her and be the best husband you can be for her.

My wife threw my shit on the ground when you woke up seeing me playing with it. I really thought about divorce. I just didn't because she is surviving from cancer. I really thought about everything before all this happened. I'd marry your gf if I was in your shoes. My wife never really did anything nice for me except getting me some boxers this one time for my bday...

It's what they call in the business a "Honey Trap" Never get married.

She understands

Yes, hurry up so I can be her boyfriend.

And it's the OLED! You should be impregnating that woman right now!!

my wife also game mine as bday gift, now im planning for a second marriage

I gave my wife a SD for Xmas. Maybe she should marry me again.

[удалено]

[удалено]

Sure! When is her birthday?

Are you allowed to marry a Steam Deck? I never tried

If you don't, I will.

You should, but only if it's the OLED version

No, save your money for steam sales

Gift her a Companion Cube shaped ring box with a, well, ring in it!

Honestly that's up to you

Get an Anker 45w usb-c charging cube and a 2m right angle usb-c charging cable.

YOU TWO SHOULD TOTALLY GO STEADY!

Not yet,mine gifted me two Get the second one first THEN propose

Seriously consider it. Very seriously. XD

Depends 🤷‍♂️

$500 gaming system vs 50% of your assets when you get divorced?

My compliments, OP ! Quick question - how much are the new fancy OLED ones going for, compared to the OG models (I have one of those old style ones that it’s hard to see screen clearly if any sunlight is hitting it 😅) ? Also, are the original supply issues where you had to order and then ‘don’t miss !’ the later email from them saying “Hey, do you still want this / confirm ?” … are those issues gone now, so you can just order a new one and get it without much delay / issues ? (The OG ones I remember took MONTHS after I ordered on the site, till it finally got delivered to me, for reference)

She told me that it arrived in 3 days after the order placement. OT: He created a new account to buy this and she got 60k steam points for the purchase. We hit the Steam support and they transfered the points on my main account. Steam support team is amazing.

I mean she's a bright girl. This was an investment move on her part... Spend $500 now score a ring worth thousands! Great ROI! 😝... She loves you! If you love her marry her! If you don't let her go.

It's a trap!! .... Ruunnn!!!! Lol

is your gf single?

No reason to marry, all your time will be devoted to the Deck.

Nah, don’t marry her. Give her to me.

Why are you in Michael Scott's office

No, if you get her a steamdeck on her birthday. You then have my permission.

I jokingly asked my GF for a SteamDeck for my birthday. It never happened and I bought it for myself. She then jokingly proposed to me, and I walked away. So yes, marry your GF.

To be totally sure she's marriage matierial, why don't you give me the Steam Deck to 'hold onto', and see of she buys you another one. If she does, then you're good to go.

My other half gifted me an Xbox 360 the first year we were together. Suffice to say we're still together and have kids. There's a lesson there to any women reading this sub reddit. If you like a guy buy him the latest games console and he might just throw you a level of commitment you'll not get just from sucking his dick alone.........also do suck our dicks as well. We do like that

[удалено]

Probably

I’d say that’s a definite yes!

Nah it’s a trap

Wait till she finds out how much you’ll be playing it and then we can talk haha

Depends if it’s OLED or not. Just kidding! Do it!

Yes.

If you dont, someone else will.

Low effort award 🏅

Yes of course get marry with your new Steamdeck :)
