Steam Controller FOMO
Welcome back to Episode 49 of Boss Run! Housh here, and today we are breaking down a wild week of hardware FOMO, massive upcoming pre-orders, and the games currently keeping me glued to my desk—including a trip down memory lane on the Steam Deck.Here is what we are covering on the show this week:
🎮 The Steam Controller Reservation Trap: I officially locked in my reservation for Valve's new Steam Controller, and honestly, I'm glad I did. If you missed this wave, the next batch of pre-orders isn't happening until Fall, and they won't even ship until Spring 2027. We discuss why Valve's hardware rollout strategy is keeping demand sky-high.
🕹️ The Right Tool for the Job: While the new Steam Controller looks incredible for native PC experiences, let's be real—if you're playing sweaty console ports like Call of Duty or Forza, you want standard layout precision. I break down why I’re still reaching for the Flydigi Vader 5 Pro when it’s time to actually get competitive.⚔️ What I'm Playing This Week:Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: Diving deep into the hardcore, brutal medieval realism. Henry's journey continues, and it is absolute peak RPG design.Forza Horizon 6: Tearing up the asphalt and continuing the open-world racing grind on PC Game Pass.✈️ Retro Deck Corner: When I'm not on my main rig, I've been using the Steam Deck for pure nostalgia—specifically emulating Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies. We talk about how beautifully the Deck handles PCSX2 emulation and why this specific entry still holds up as an arcade-flight masterpiece.
💰 The Next Big Wave: Mark your calendars—official pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto 6 are finally going live this Thursday. Are you locking your copy in on day one, or waiting out the inevitable launch day server meltdown?
