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.
