Pro tip: my buddy Marcus in Detroit bet me $20 I'd hate the Steam Deck after a week, and he was dead wrong
Marcus has been a PlayStation guy since the PS2 days, so when I picked up a Steam Deck 8 months ago he laughed and said the trackpads would drive me nuts within 7 days. I almost believed him at first because FPS games felt weird for the first hour or two. By day 3 I remapped the back buttons and now I'm playing Hades 2 on the couch while my PS5 collects dust. We did a $20 handshake bet and he paid up in front of our whole group at a Tigers game in June. The funny part is he borrowed it for a weekend trip to Cleveland and now he's asking me which model to buy. Any of you crossover folks got a game that finally sold a stubborn friend on a different platform?

Man, this is just how people are with everything, not just games. My uncle swore he'd never use a smartphone, called them "spy devices," then my cousin showed him Google Maps on a road trip and now he's texting me memes at 6am. Same thing with my neighbor and air fryers, dude mocked hers for a year straight, then tried one chicken wing and bought two. People get comfy with what they know and dig their heels in, but once something actually makes life easier or more fun, that wall comes down fast. Marcus borrowing your Deck for one weekend is the perfect version of that, he just needed to feel it himself instead of hearing about it.
