Back in February 2022 Valve released the SteamDeck. A device that took PC gaming and made it accessible to the handheld crowd. Prior to this, the standard approach to getting PC gaming handheld was streaming typically on a mobil...

A little over a year ago (Jan 2022 to be precise), I started in a new role. I'm happy to say that over 12 months and one roller-coaster ride later I'm still very happy with my new role (can't really call is new any more can I?). Why am I mentioning this?
