Not sure if this goes here but i have a steam giftcard, but i also like free stuff for example piracy even if i barley do so and dont know much about it.

Its only 20 bucks but im not sure what its worth putting into.

Should i just get like a steam deck or something with a mix of my money and the gift card?

What would you advise?

Possibly unpopular opinion, but the black deck basically ruins this game. I was obsessed before black deck, and to be sure continued playing for a while afterwards. But the black deck was so miserable that I realized it wasn't even fun. It made me feel like if I had any self respect I'd call LocalThunk's bluff and quit playing. But I didn't. Loss after loss I continued to debase myself and continue grinding, waiting for essentially pure luck to release me and allow me to have fun again. But I never regained my enthusiasm.

Yeah, that and blue stake are going to be reworked in the upcoming content update, so even LocalThunk agrees with you. I basically did the same thing, just rerolled until I got an investment tag in the first ante and tried my luck from there, but I did all my gold stakes in order so there was still plenty of fun to be had afterwards! And then I worked on getting naneinf, then played some multiplayer after that!
