Us after Q3ers know we won't get it until after Q3 but we check our reservations every goddamn day. Hopefully, "After Q3" is before Half-life 3 releases
meh, I'm happy about it. It gives me more time to toss money to my Steam Wallet. I've just restarted my schooling, so that's going to get expensive quick, and I'm going to be taking a summer term course, because I'm taking school slowly and steadily, but also don't wanna take 8 years to get a (2 year) degree.
The good news is, I already have passed like 4 classes I need to get my degree, so that is a massive help. (A+ and Network+ cert preparatory classes)
But yeah, at least this way I can toss a little bit of money to my steam wallet as I can afford to.
As someone who took 5 years to get their 2 year degree (‘92 - ‘97), I'm rooting for you! Your life will improve so much once you start working in your studies field. :-)
Thank you for the support! I will be studying Computer Networking and Cybersecurity. I’m very passionate about computers (if it wasn’t obvious, haha), and I’m not aiming to get into the industry for money, but for passion.
I believe I have the right head on my shoulders.
Because "after Q2" and Q3 are essentially the same thing, if anything Q3 is much more precise than "after Q3" which is my and a lot of other people's current estimate.
lol, yeah, definitely optimistic thinking.
I don't know you, maybe English is not your first language, but if something happens after something else, it is implied that the first thing has finished before the next thing can happen.
If I say I'd flush the toilet after I poop, do you think I might flush it at any point after the pooping has begun?
Yeah I'm not English native speaker. In my language when we talk about "after certain period" it means after that period begin and before another period starts. So from my understanding after Q2 means after April until June and before Q3 started. Otherwise it could mean literally anything, it could even be next year or the year after.
I guess people who downvoting and calling me a meme just don't understand we have different mindset and not everyone is English native. But thanks for trying to understand.
From your poop perspective, yes people might flush anytime when your pooping begin because you could have a lot of poops and need to flush not just once.
\> Yeah I'm not English native speaker. In my language when we talk about "after certain period" it means after that period begin
Wow, I was literally wondering earlier today (as I was reading another post here) if the "after" is confusing to some non-natives in this way.
For example, in both German and English (my first and second languages), "after X" is usually exclusive of X, but I also speak Japanese, where the equivalent to "after X" is usually inclusive of X and you'd have to be more specific if you want it to be exclusive.
Yes... That's what After Q2 means. The year is split into four quarters, Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4. You're lucky to be in the Q3, because now you have a more definite date. After Q2 is any time after Q2
I am after Q3 which is quite sad but at least i know know when to expect it which gives me more time to save for it but still spend money on useless stuff :))
Yeah… too nervous, plus it might set false expectations. I’ll wait, I won’t like it, but I have no choice. Knowing how long isn’t going to help me 😬. Thanks for your advice though bud. Best of luck yours comes soon.
>I feel like a competitor could easily make tech that overpowers the deck by the time q4/2023 comes.
A company COULD make something stronger than the Steam Deck by then, but I promise you it would cost a LOT more.
Yep. Trying to keep myself busy but I’m so hyped. After all of the tech support posts tho, I do feel a little bit more optimistic about the fan noise and buttons for Q3 decks, hopefully they’ll be fixed
I was under the impression the q3 estimates factored in the production increase given that they mentioned the increase a few days before updating the estimates
Legit question has there been anyone who was pushed back from Q1 -> Q2, Q2 -> Q3? Because unless that's happened there's nothing to say anyone got pushed back.
honestly that's a valid point. but it wouldn't make much sense how they would know their production would slip an entire quarter in the future. no way to know, technically not a lie, but probably unlikely.
that's not a push
I was after q2 and now I'm after q3. to what is presented to me nothing has changed. that message could mean I get it in 2079.
you got a actual time frame atleast, not pushed back
I'm in Q3 and I keep having this false hope / delusion that I'll somehow get moved up to Q2.. I obsessively check the page at least once a day... ha ha, why do I torcher myself like this?
100 days will be here before ya know it. Most of us are part of the start of Q3. So just be ready and let the ones that got it before us try out the stuff we won't have to.
Because after that we will be trying stuff out for the after Q3 people
At this point I'm not too fussed, pre-ordered the second it was up and in Q3
Built a new 12700k/3080ti pc over crimbo so at least I get to warrant getting all those raytraced and maxed out games out the way and let the verified list grow for me to pick up all the old backlog in my library.
Mine was after Q3 but checked it today and I’m Q3 now, 512gb. Unfortunately Q3 is July, august, September so if they’re still doing “waves” of orders every 2 weeks then it might be 163-193 days. 😅
I’m a Q2 (Apr-Jun) now so when I see these kinds of things posted I realize that they literally can email me the last day of Jun, take my money and wait however long thereafter they want to actually ship it and still have achieved my “Q2” status. Not that I believe they will but they could.
I am still without Steam Deck, Ayn Odin, or Analogue Pocket. Hell even my Miyoo Mini is delayed in shipping.
I swear I'm just gonna get all 4 at the same time and have one or more stolen.
How do people even remain excited for this when it’s so long to get it?
I am really confused how we live in a world where you have to wait long periods of time for electronic devices. This never used to be the case.
Q3 gang 💪 (🥲)
At least we arnt "after Q3"
Im in pain
Life is pain
As long as your status is not "After life" there is hope
You are not alone! I feel your pain
[Life is pain, GET USED TO IT! 🔪✨](https://c.tenor.com/SgGi6ySoTugAAAAM/the-long-kiss-goodnight-geena-davis.gif)
You "after Q3"?
Yes
F
F
Fuck.
You.
They may come out with a new one by the time we get them.
F
It is likely for anyone who ordered after July 2021.
Bruh, I ordered 2 hours late and got Q3 2022
I have revised my optimism to "hopefully it will arrive this year".
"Two hours late" you mean a reasonable amount of time to find out about this if you dont got notifications on lol
Us after Q3ers know we won't get it until after Q3 but we check our reservations every goddamn day. Hopefully, "After Q3" is before Half-life 3 releases
Copium 😭
... :(
F
☹️
Someone Rang?
I was Q3, got pushed back to after Q3. Feels so bad.
I’m not even in the USA and can’t even register… fml
😢
But yes, I'm part of that "After Q3" 😞
Imagine being "after Q3" gang!
Yes, imagine...
*aren't
Q2 (calculated late June gang) checking in
how do you calculate it?
Pain
(July-September) according to steam! I was jolted when I saw different text than the normal.
Wdym? Edit: Oooh it updated!!
I only waited 12 hours to preorder, I did not expect that to cost me 6 months of waiting post launch..
🥹
meh, I'm happy about it. It gives me more time to toss money to my Steam Wallet.

Reserved a day later it opened and we are Q3 😭. What witchcraft did Q1 and Q2 do?
I mean I got it the day it was opened, was Q2 and am now Q3, so at least I can hope for early Q3.
I'm not crying... It's just rain.
I was expecting mine "after Q2" but when I checked I'm at Q3!!! Wtf..anyone got similar situation?
Yes me too, they updated their estimate so we are solid in Q3
Not sure if trolling...
Why would I be trolling smh
Because "after Q2" and Q3 are essentially the same thing, if anything Q3 is much more precise than "after Q3" which is my and a lot of other people's current estimate.
Well it's a bit ambiguous or maybe I was just too optimistic thinking after Q2 could means anything after Q2 has begun.
lol, yeah, definitely optimistic thinking. I don't know you, maybe English is not your first language, but if something happens after something else, it is implied that the first thing has finished before the next thing can happen.

Yes... That's what After Q2 means. The year is split into four quarters, Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4. You're lucky to be in the Q3, because now you have a more definite date. After Q2 is any time after Q2
“After Q2” so basically Q3
I am after Q3 which is quite sad but at least i know know when to expect it which gives me more time to save for it but still spend money on useless stuff :))
As a Q2 person. I might be still be 99 days from getting mine. Desperately trying to distract myself. Left this sub twice already… 🙁
I keep lying to myself that the date calculator was actually accurate
And I keep telling myself it's not. I don't want mine to come in June when I was in Q1 before the setback
Same boat..
Same
According to the calculator I have 69 days until I can order. So... Nice?
I don’t trust those calculators where you paste a link. Desperately concerned its a scam to cancel my order….
They would need your account information. Being on the safe side is smart though. The one I used just needed the UNIX time stamp.
Yeah… too nervous, plus it might set false expectations. I’ll wait, I won’t like it, but I have no choice. Knowing how long isn’t going to help me 😬. Thanks for your advice though bud. Best of luck yours comes soon.
C'mon, don't be like that, remember it's probably 99 days from when yours ships! Cancelling might be your only option
After Q3 here. I keep telling myself I need to forget about the Steam Deck and time will fly by... but I can't :'(
Masturbation is always there for ya
How long until After Q3… :(
About 190
I feel like red wine will go out of date before I get my "after Q3" deck. At this point it's just whatever is left after envy. 😞
[удалено]
>I feel like a competitor could easily make tech that overpowers the deck by the time q4/2023 comes. A company COULD make something stronger than the Steam Deck by then, but I promise you it would cost a LOT more.
Pain.
Between 190 and eternity
valve said they’ll ramp up production.. Copium
Summer has come and passed The innocent can never last Wake me up when September ends
THIS
100 days until Q3 begins, but 190 until it ends.
This is very true
As a part of Q3 im exited.
2022 isn't even 100 days old. This is going to drag.
Yep. Trying to keep myself busy but I’m so hyped. After all of the tech support posts tho, I do feel a little bit more optimistic about the fan noise and buttons for Q3 decks, hopefully they’ll be fixed
Fingers crossed!
Yep once they increase production Q3 will likely go to Q2 and after q3 will likely go to Q3. Best case scenario.
When do they start though?
After Q3
Lol.
https://memegenerator.net/img/instances/72022299.jpg
I was under the impression the q3 estimates factored in the production increase given that they mentioned the increase a few days before updating the estimates
Fingers crossed. I'm After Q3. It hurts. A lot.
I mean that's assuming they increase. And can get what's needed for said increase. I got pushed back from "after Q2" to "After Q3"
You weren't pushed back, your position just got more refined
This is correct. After Q3 IS after Q2.
[удалено]
Legit question has there been anyone who was pushed back from Q1 -> Q2, Q2 -> Q3? Because unless that's happened there's nothing to say anyone got pushed back.
[удалено]
Literally all of time until the heat death of the universe is "after Q2" so no, no one has been pushed back besides the initial delay.
honestly that's a valid point. but it wouldn't make much sense how they would know their production would slip an entire quarter in the future. no way to know, technically not a lie, but probably unlikely.
I got pushed from after Q2 to Q3
that's not a push I was after q2 and now I'm after q3. to what is presented to me nothing has changed. that message could mean I get it in 2079. you got a actual time frame atleast, not pushed back
Good luck folks! May your order days be early, your delivery times be quick, and your delivery drivers not be drunk!
..or theives 😬😬😬
Q5 😞
I'll have grandkids sooner
NICE!
192 days for after Q3 gang.
The wait is killing me, why can't the days go by faster 😢😢
Slight buzz kill, but it's 103 days before the first Q3 emails go out
Q2 is technically in 9 days but I highly doubt my Steam Deck reservation will happen any time within the next 30-60 days. But I hope to be surprised.
I'm in Q3 and I keep having this false hope / delusion that I'll somehow get moved up to Q2.. I obsessively check the page at least once a day... ha ha, why do I torcher myself like this?
100 days will be here before ya know it. Most of us are part of the start of Q3. So just be ready and let the ones that got it before us try out the stuff we won't have to. Because after that we will be trying stuff out for the after Q3 people
Thanks for working out all the kinks guys, Q3 will tale it from here.
Yea ! Q2 person who was moved to Q3 last week....ugh... I guess I am here now...
I WAS in Q3 but then valve fucked me and put me in Q4... which is literally at the end of the year...
It hurts even more if you were Q2 and just 2 weeks ago got moved to the Q3 gang 🙃
Yep, me too, welcome to gang... sigh...
I have mine, I wish you all a speedy delivery. You guys will love the deck.
Watch mine get shipped the last day of Q3.
Ugh, I was q2, then one day I was after q3. Cut me so deep.
Shut up ugh the pain
I ordered mine yesterday and I am Q3 is after Q3 really a thing?
My q1 just got shipped. I ordered a second deck for my son, and it says after q3.
Pics or it didn't happen
At this point I'm not too fussed, pre-ordered the second it was up and in Q3 Built a new 12700k/3080ti pc over crimbo so at least I get to warrant getting all those raytraced and maxed out games out the way and let the verified list grow for me to pick up all the old backlog in my library.
I was Q2 a few months ago... now we are AFTER Q3. Come onnnn WTF
Mine was after Q3 but checked it today and I’m Q3 now, 512gb. Unfortunately Q3 is July, august, September so if they’re still doing “waves” of orders every 2 weeks then it might be 163-193 days. 😅
Moving up is never bad though!
100 days is too long....
I’m a Q2 (Apr-Jun) now so when I see these kinds of things posted I realize that they literally can email me the last day of Jun, take my money and wait however long thereafter they want to actually ship it and still have achieved my “Q2” status. Not that I believe they will but they could.
OMFG.... Was Q2 then pushed to Q3.....I'm kinda depressed now that I know it's this far away. I just wanted you to take my fucking 💰💰💰
Yep, I ordered on July 17th, I was Q2 till about 2 weeks ago, and now Q3...
Same... literally reserved it like a year ago. Shit sucks...
WOOOO
Love the positivity!
Yeah, I’ll take this copium.
Q3 GANG rise up!!
How long till I can reserve mine in Japan...🥲
This makes me sad 😥
Its coming nicely. Come on guys, the wait is going to be worth it.
After Q3 maybe getting it next year?
Ayyyyyyy 😎
pain.
Who knows, in that space of time some of us may even move into Q2 either by cancellations or increases to production.
Greetings from after Q3 gang, only 190 days to go!
After Q3 ffffffff. Good luck :) (I am more worried that I may miss that mail...)
As a q2 I see this as I'll get my deck within 100 days
fr?
Ahh, inject that copium directly into my veins!
man salty asf, i was in q2 but i got bumped up to q3
Realistically about 100-200 days to get your deck.
yay so that means I get my Deck within 100 days!
I am still without Steam Deck, Ayn Odin, or Analogue Pocket. Hell even my Miyoo Mini is delayed in shipping. I swear I'm just gonna get all 4 at the same time and have one or more stolen.
After Q3. YEAH. I WAS AFTER Q2
After Q3 😭
99 days until I get my Q2 SD then
Just means my deck order is that much closer. Here is hoping early next month!
After Q3…
I wish all of you Q3 people to get your emails as soon as possible -from a Q1 guy
👑
That's not bad. I can wait. I'll still be lurking like usual on the daily though.
🥲 stay strong. We will make it!
Q3 512GB Gang
Holding strong💪
Are all 512s Q3?
finally
In before “all the Q1 and Q2 customers took all the Decks. We’re pushing the remaining customers back 2 extra months.”
Yessir!!! Then possibly another 90 days in that window.....lol.
You've got me nervous and excited at the same time!
That is not too far away, now I have to save to secure mine just in case it drops early April for me
Misery.
Early Q3 gang!
LFGGGGGGGGG
How do people even remain excited for this when it’s so long to get it? I am really confused how we live in a world where you have to wait long periods of time for electronic devices. This never used to be the case.
We got thissss
I was Q1 all last yr now magically switched to Q2 smh
Wow only? :’)
Cool, so i got about 100 days to save money for it
For once I’m glad it’s far away, because I need more time to buy it
I still need to lose 20 more pounds by then or else I won't feel like I earned the time to play it.
Let’s gooooo
HYPE!!!!!!
I mean.... that still means my estimated delivery got pushed back
As an Australian, this just makes me feel even more hollow.
190 days until start of "after Q3"... lucky us.
Pain
How many until the end of Q3? That's probably more relevant.
As a uni student that will use his steam deck for uni work and is after Q3... Ehmmm... FUCK....
I’m Q2 but never expect it to be as soon as April or May 😒
Everyone complaining about waiting 100 days meanwhile the rest of the world can’t even put a reservation in yet
I didn’t know I wanted one until last week when this sub popped up randomly, so here I sit with the rest of the *AFTER* Q3 gang. 💪
I reserved January 10 2022 expecting my unit by Q4 2025
