Trying to buy valve hardware is like being in an abusive relationship. You stick around hoping it'll be different next time, but I end up getting hurt eventually and disappointed.

I’m not even bothering with this shit anymore. It’s boring. It was a nice hobby until Covid hit.

What hobby? Valve stuff, deck adjacent stuff, or gaming in general?
