I'm going to do these periodically.

Title kinda says all.

I'll have my own reply later.

Have you finished Baldur's Gate 3 yet or are you playing Baldur's Gate 1 (and eventually Baldur's Gate 2) in anticipation of Baldur's Gate 3?

Also, I think Pool of Radiance is a Fire Emblem game? I could be wrong, I think.

My PC can't handle BG 3 sadly, and this is my first time through BG 1. Pool Of Radiance is the first in the Gold Box series of AD&D games from the 80's.

I would suggest getting a Steam Deck.

Cheaper than a "gaming PC" or "gaming laptop."

But much more powerful or just as, at the very least.

You can even get the cheapest one and get extra storage later.

A good investment rather than saving up to eventually get a new PC or gaming laptop.

Steam Deck looks cool and would probably be what I'm aiming for.

Yeah, it's at least on par with a good "gaming laptop" (which I think are honestly scams at this point).

What? No, it's really not. The Steam Deck is cool and surprisingly powerful for what it is, but it's still just a laptop with integrated graphics in an even smaller form factor. Even a low cost discrete GPU like the GTX 1650 is going to trounce it performance wise.

Honestly, it's much better than any "gaming laptop" I've ever gotten.
