When you think about it in pure money terms, fixing things becomes a lot more attractive. You can’t get a better deal than $150 for a Steam Deck (the cost to replace the screen on the one you already own).

It’s always tempting to replace old stuff with new stuff, but it also always feels like a big victory when I repair something I already own. There is so much satisfaction in it, especially if you learn a new skill in the process e.g. soldering.

I’m that guy. If my screen breaks I will be looking at a mod like this.

Try the Steam Link app from your phone. I haven’t tried it with Balatro but I think it worked fine with Slay the Spire.

Try turning off Bluetooth. Try turning off ipv6 in desktop mode. Could also be interference from electronics near your router or Deck, like a computer or your neighbour’s wifi.
