Cool read through! I personally don't think I'd add clicky buttons to my devices since playing at night in bed is a big one for me, but I do like the idea of modding the Steam Deck!

Also gotta love modded Melee on Deck!

It wasn't a lie from tech marketing, people genuinely acted this way.

It has faded a lot in the last decade, but it was definitely a prevalent mindset from people my age around 2010.

Usually that's not so much the developers but the publisher that the devs have to abide by.

Not a true answer, but I have found a number of Chinese shows on nyaa, si.

I think that user may be referring to Empress herself, not the commenter.

As in, Empress doesn't need to be using slurs to make her points.

I agree, why not have all of the funds go to servers and the engineers+teams and the rest of the profits go to artists that make the service possible

It is a great resource but? it caps out at the Wii era so... not for this case.

Yeah but so what? They can also go as low as $15 so it'll just depend on the package size. I mean frankly, they are the ones who need it most and OP is clearly in a position where they are able to take some kind of L trying to sell it.

May as well be a good guy and pay it forward. Few around the states would be likely to buy it when the availability from official sources are just simpler and safer.

Besides, I bought a guitar from eBay from AUS. If they can charge me only $217 after shipping and the guitar itself, then a Steam Deck can get a nice price too ;)

The idea is that agency is under duress/not coming from a sound state of mind

I feel like selling it internationally is your best bet. Find someone in Australia and sell it to them for fair shipping.

Selling it locally is just going to make you tear your hair out. You're trying to sell a popular device that has just had a refresh and a fair sale, outside of Facebook Marketplace or somewhere where a buyer is, quite frankly, not knowledgeable, I feel like your chances are just very slim.

On the other hand, Australian's are looking at ~$1,200 AUD for a "new" high model that someone else bought and supposedly didn't use.

You'd be doing the Steam Deck community a favor by selling it to an enthusiast without charging them extra just because they're down under.
