I saw you picked up Pacific Drive after playing the demo. You might be interested to know that "Ghost in the Road", the song that plays as you approach the exclusion zone was released on Spotify the same day as the game's release. I think that moment was my favorite part of the demo and I've had the song on repeat a few times since it's release.

Thanks so much for the gift! It was very thoughtful of you. I wishlisted Stray after seeing some glowing reviews so I'm looking forward to playing it.

I downloaded Desk Job when I first got the Deck but haven't gotten around to playing it yet. One consideration that led me to choose the Deck was that I don't have as much time to game after overtime at work and trying to make the gym a priority for my free time. It made more sense than investing in a new desktop build since I only really play 1-3 hours a week on average now.

The Steam Deck is pretty nice, not compatible with some games but a nice handheld experience and the dock works well to bring it to a bigger screen if I want. My desktop is years out of date at this point and the Deck was an affordable hardware modernization option, especially on sale.

Interested in access to the Steam Community Beta?

I might pick up the new Penny Arcade game if it goes on sale.
