Original caption

I bought a Steam Deck🥹 I know there are better handheld consoles out there, but for me this does the job sa quick gaming fix ko😅 Didn’t have time na to research much! And madami kasi ako games sa Steam, kaya okay din na anywhere I can play. Haha. Nawawalan na ko time for games kasi… my computer is in my office and as much as possible I want to separate play and work for boundaries! Now ayan na nga. Impulse buy kasi for my wellness😂 Also been meaning talaga to integrate video games sa content ko, cause it’s a big part of me! Since 5 yrs old hardcore gamer na nag solo RPG games. Hehe. Sharing the excitement😂 #gamingtok #gamingtiktok #steamdeck #handheldgaming #handheldconsole
