Can you put PS2 games on here?

Yeah, PS2 is playable on the deck.

You can and they even got a PS3 emulator I haven't tested

Which ones y’all got?

I looked up steam deck and all kinds of shyt comes up, first thing was like $130. I’m assuming that’s not it or is it?

Y’all got lanks?

Edit actually think I found it

Is the $400 good enuff? U get more memory and features with the higher price ones, but can I still use PS2 emulator with the cheaper one?

Besides more memory, what’s so special bout the more expensive ones?

The internal drive of the Steam Deck is exclusively used for storage of games' shader cache. Those shader cache remain even after deleting a game, so it fills up your internal drive. Until Valve fixes this, I only recommend the 64gb version to people willing to replace the SSD of their Steam Deck. Otherwise buy the 256gb version. I had well over 30gb of shader cache stored on my SSD at one point.

Nice amount of hops and bitterness with enough alcohol to get you there fairly quickly

My bad breh

I also got their Celebration Ale for the winter but its a bit too bitter for me to really enjoy. Ironically, it has less alcohol than Torpedo


Sidenote: decided to check CdKeys on a whim and they had Metal Gear Rising for 3 bucks for Steam. shyt worked and I'm downloading it now

ya cdkeys generally tend to have the lowest prices as long as it’s in stock…just make sure it’s for steam and not epic or something else
