From the days of the floppy disk and massive monitors to the modern age of handheld PCs and high-fidelity graphics cards, there are few better examples of technological advances.

The example disks on BlackIceLA's desk include Stardew Valley and Balatro, a couple of top picks from our guide to the best Steam Deck games. One response referred to the floppy disk setup as "the demented sort of genius I can buy into," while another described it as "silly and useful."
