  • Either way is fine, in my opinion. The DLC fits right into the main game; but, if I’m being honest, it does have a slightly different “vibe”. The safe bet would probably be to at least play some of the main game first, to at least see if it’s your kind of game. You can finish the main game and then pick up right where you left off to play the DLC. Or, half way into your game, or at any point, you can install the DLC. Really up to you.




  • Steam Deck.

    I’ve never owned a decent gaming machine, for various reasons. Cost was a big factor. Another was the fact that I was never a big “gamer”. Very little desire to play the big, popular, AAA games in general. The games I did play, I played on a very old PC, and the performance was what you’d expect from low end hardware; but I just never had any desire to build my own gaming rig.

    The Steam Deck is perfect for my use case:

    • I have no desire to run Windows
    • I have no desire to build my own gaming machine
    • I have no desire to get locked into a console ecosystem (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, etc).
    • I can play handled, docked to a monitor with keyboard and mouse, docked to a monitor with a controller, docked to a TV, etc etc
    • I can play games built for Windows
    • I can play games with native Linux builds
    • I can play Steam games, Epic games, DRM-free games, emulated games, etc, etc
    • I can do whatever the hell else I want to do with it. For example, maybe I might want to run Kodi on it, and connect to my Jellyfin server at home to watch a movie if I’m staying at a hotel. Whatever. It’s just a computer like any other. I can do whatever I want.

    I think I’ve probably played more new (to me) games since buying my SD than in all the years (decades) previous, and I love it.
