What's a gadget or appliance that you purchased that you would wholeheartedly recommend to others? (lemmy.ca)

For me, it's an electric toothbrush. It doesn't matter if you go with Sonicare or Oral-B, once you start using an electric toothbrush, regular toothbrushes don't ever feel like they clean your teeth properly. The smooth plaque-free top layer of your teeth that you can feel after using an electric toothbrush can't be replicated with a regular toothbrush.

Honestly, my favorite purchase of the past years is the Steamdeck. Can take it to work, play in my lunch break. Can take it on trips, play in the plane or train. Also got a dock at home, where I play coop games with my kid. So I guess if you are a gamer not playing any not supported games (there aren't that many), go for it.

I bought a used one and it gave me the confidence I needed to move over to Linux. I tried Pop os and wasn't really feeling it, and now I'm on Mint and I'm mostly happy. I want to build a desktop and do cachy os instead of getting a PS6.

Steam deck is an impressive little thing, but it's not quite powerful enough for what I'd like to do with it. I would trade the portability for more power. But a handheld PS4 is absolutely nothing to sneeze at!

I was going to say the same thing. I regret waiting so long to buy one. Between that and Bazzite I never play my consoles anymore.

I am currently in the process of making an arcade cabinet for my Steam Deck! I bought it for my wife, but she basically stopped gaming for now. So, I decided to turn it into an arcade cabinet instead. Love that thing

Any coop game recommendation?

Untitled Goose Game is definitely a blast. Pizza Possum is just crazy fun. Moving out is also great.

We just started playing KeyWe, seems short but so far pretty fun too.

To play with a kid? Untitled Goose Game, Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time, River City Girls.
