I think this is healthy. People (including myself) are easily sucked into consumerism instead of sustainability.
Better to have a good device that is highly repairable, upgradeable, and modable. That way you can make small improvements and add some high quality accessories without just trying to force everybody to buy the newest shiny device every 18-24 months.
Unless you're only playing the latest AAA games, the Deck will perform great for many years to come.
I got sucked down the hype/consumerism hole for many years after college, and I blew so much money on buying every new PC part and accessory even though I didn't need any of them.
Apple has a new event and a new phone and a new watch EVERY YEAR. aren't we obligated to buy all this shit every year?
And for some reason Gucci keeps making new belts. It’s weird because it’s like, doesn’t that older belt work just fine?
i learned when i was maybe 16, 17, you can just ask a guy who works with leather -- "can you make a belt that will hold my pants up" -- the dude was so confused and so happy to help me and it did not cost very much. that guy was so nice.

Nope, my phone is 5 years old and it is nice to be able to wait for the latest release to get something brand new instead of a year or two old.
