thank you for your twitter screecap thread

how many times are you going to post the same post?

>>712629936 (OP)
No, we just flex our superiority.

Honestly? I don't think people even play games on their steam deck. At least you can play a switch docked with a controller.

>>712629936 (OP)
You already know the answer, these third world handhelds only appeal to emulationfags that just spend all their time bragging about how many games they can potentially play instead of actually just playing them. As someone that still owns most of the old hardware they emulate, they just look pathetic.

>>712629936 (OP)
Oh shit oh fuck I only just realized the Steam Deck looks like a super version of a Wii U gamepad

>disingenuous thread
The Deck is supposed to play Windows and Linux games, from any sources, that's normal. Yous rent going to show that off.
You show off things that are remarkable and show what the device is capable of when pushed to its limits, so in this case optimized current generation games, and emulated games. Why would you post an image of the 8502nd Deck running Balatro?

Wonder is one of the only switch games they can emulate because its light as fuck but put totk and fps go into single digits

>>712630094
>has to emulate better games from consoles cause it has nothing of worth on its own
Grim

A Switch and a refurb deck are both $300. Imagine buying the former and having to pay $60 for games and having only a fraction of games you can play plus you have to deal with NoA's censorship.

What a cucked existence.

Funnily enough, I just finished Black Mesa, which is a literal Steam exclusive.
People getting butthurt and asking questions in bad faith because the Deck can play basically everything need to chillax. If Nintendo is so bothered by it, they can sell their games on PC, but they don't, so it's on them.

>>712630528

Nope.

Yup.
Consoleniggers are frightened and confused by the concept of a company not locking down hardware that you bought.

You can emulate switch just fine. I play switch diablo 3 on deck for couch coop. Though I have no interest in the latest greatest zelda dogshit

>>712629936 (OP)
No, I exclusively use it as an emulation machine 99% of the time, why would I ever play PC games when my PC is superior in every way.

>>712631045
No? You were talking about emulation. I don't own a deck or any console since 2011.

>>712629936 (OP)
What's even the post of these reddit posts, the reason I bought, and I assume a lot of people bought a deck, is because tendie games are shovelware, why would anyone buy a device to emulate these shitty games? Deck can play way more games beyond the switch library, why bother with bing bing wahoo #556, let alone why brag about it

>>712631579
This one?

>>712630706
OR you could get a v1 Switch and install CFW to pirate games, IMO that's the best option for playing Switch games for free currently outside of emulating on a high-end rig. Switch emulation on the Deck is a bit of a mix bag but it's really good for old PC games and emulating other systems, I'm not sure what homebrew emulators are like on the Switch but it's probably dog shit like using a Vita.

>>712630890
Show them on the switch 1, I'll wait

>>712630056
Yup. It can play more NES/SNES/N64/GC/Wii/Wii-U/GB/GBC/VB/GBA/DS/3DS games than Switch can, without a rental fee.

>>712630890
>stream from my pc

Damn that was hard, it must baffle you that a device has features beyond paying for your own internet you already pay for, paying additionally to use chat and playing only official games released for your device.

What kind of question is this. It’s a pc, you can do whatever you want with it

Why would you buy a 720p 30fps PC? Switch games is all it's good for.

>>712631318
The deck plays everything that's worth anything on the switch just fine.
Totk is not worth anything.

You're making the same cope posts that your grandfather did.

>>712633746
I know. I wish it was, but it isn't, so no loss. I'd rather emulate Bloodborne, which the deck can play as well as a ps4 can.

OoT have the same framerate and its the highest rated game of all times but unplayable to your standards, OK

>>712632204
>20 overworld 30 on shrines/dungeons
That's the deck as well. I didn't realize it was that bad on switch. So the deck is just matching native performance.

>>712632613
First of all it costs nowhere near that, and if you stream from your pc your pc is doing all of the heavy lifting so the battery life is like 8+ hours, you're a faggot who doesn't know anything

I hate that the Switch 2 kept the same shitty form factor of the Switch, it always felt like the thing wasn't even designed for human hands but like a crab or some pincer clawed animal, I can't play the thing for more than an hour without developing carpal tunnel

>>712629936 (OP)
Yes, it's just fun dabbing on Nintendrónes.

I do a fair amount of emulation but it's a fantastic way to play lower spec Steam games and fan games. First time since the PSP that there's been a really great portable classic Falcom machine, and having a portable way to play Sonic Robo Blast 2 and Ring Racers has given me hours of entertainment. Currently I'm using it for Nine Sols and to check out a bunch of Next Fest demos

If totk wasn't shit I would concede that it's a shame the deck only plays it at the switch's native performance. But it's shit, so I genuinely do not care.
I hate nuzelda so much it's unreal. Botw is unironically the most personally disappointing game I've ever played.

>>712630248
Maybe that's why it only sold 1% of what the Switch has sold lol

>>712629936 (OP)
Tendies are so delusional and myopic they think the only reason anyone would want to use a deck is to emulate switch games. its a VN, doujin, ps2, 360/ps4 era pc port, indie machine

>>712629936 (OP)
yes? why wouldn't I? other games are great, but it's also just nice to boot up a game with no setup.

>>712637248
Literally the best combination of games listed, plus emulating 6th gen and below. The real ultra giga based combo is a modchipped OLED switch with third party hall effect joycons plus an OLED eck, but /v/ isn't ready for that trvke yet though

>Steam Games

Tendies are so buckbroken by Nintendo that they don't even understand the concept of an open platform. They think a single company having absolute control over everything you do on a device is normal

>>712637553
>anti-steam post

Also, I'd rather get a handful of good indies in a sea of trash every other week, than wait for a good indie to hit Switch. Plus the sales, now that Nintendo are killing cartridges, what's the point in not going for the store-front that opts with more sales year round?

>>712630056
>the largest game store in mankind's history

lol i knew tendies were retards but they somehow manage to be even below genuine retards, quite impressive actually.

>>712629936 (OP)
The first year I got my Steam Deck I did legit play a bunch of Steam games on it, mostly a mix of old stuff and low-requirement modern releases. Then I gradually wound down to the point that I don't even play games on mine anymore. There's too many caveats with gaming on the Deck now.
>Resolution and Display
I find few games made after 2010 actually support a 16:10 display type, much less the 800p resolution. Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom was the worst offender for me because the graphical assets were clearly never meant to be downscaled below 1080p, despite also being on Switch. Speaking of, it also has the same problem as the Switch where nearly all games use tiny ass text that you can't read on a handheld screen.
>Controller Support
If a game supports an Xbox controller then there's zero issues here. Despite the Steam Deck looking like a massive slab of plastic with a weird layout, it actually feels great to play on and remains its greatest advantage over other handhelds. Even the Switch 2, which is superior to the Switch 1, still doesn't match the ergonomic factor inherent to the Deck.
Then there are the games that don't support an Xbox controller. Some games like Postal 2 actually have an official Deck layout, but everything else is purely community-driven and you're at the mercy of either finding a layout that clicks with you or mapping an entire keyboard onto the Deck's controller yourself, which can take a while to dial in your preferences.
Then there are the games that support only DirectInput controllers like Sands of Time or Soul Reaver (classic). It's not really the Deck's fault, but it takes the piss out of me when you need to switch to desktop and move files around without a keyboard or mouse plugged in, then realizing all Xinput to DirectInput converters don't do true smooth analog movement.

Imagine not being an idort in the Year of our Lord. Normalfags disgust me.

>>712633659
I mean I agree totk blew but you're an actual retard to think the deck's failure to emulate it is a nonproblem.

>>712633793
well.. there is the Nintendo india hired company

>>712638172
It's just outdated in hardware but Valve refuses to do regular refreshes. Even if you look at their games like Dota, they're always behind the curve for some reason, it's their philosophy.

>>712638153
I bought a Switch 1 and am gonna combo with my Deck. It was $150 from a friend with dock and charger, I honestly don't get people who can't even imagine to idort. I can get not liking modern-ish Nintendo titles and stuff, but a Wii-U/Wii are so good for homebrewing and emulating on native hardware.

>>712638286
Hope you bought a V1, friend

>>712637246
>muh sales
damn I forgot the quality of something was based off how popular it was

also barely 6 million were shipped unlike your mass produced garbage, and you couldn't just walk into a walshart and buy one, all these things impacted sales aside from name brand because it was never intended to be a mass produced device selling hundreds of millions of units

>>712638486
I haven't verified, still I am gonna get Switch 1 games once people buy more 2's and sell their old stuff for updated versions. I just want Odyssey, Kirby, the Zeldas, Bayo 3, Prime 4 (which is getting a 1 release), Luigi's Mansion 3 and maaaybe Smash.

>>712629936 (OP)
>Deckfags can't answer the question because PC games run like shit
lol I guess emulation is the only thing that brick is good for

>>712637246

>PS4

>Xbox One
I'm an idort basically but I'm just going to stick with PC now, exclusives are a dying concept aside from tendie games but I'm not really into those anymore and don't feel like buying anymore functionally useless devices to only play video games on them, I've contributed enough e-waste in my lifetime. Maybe my opinions will change eventually if something really good comes out that has no chance of being ported to PC but it's looking doubtful.

>>712630829
No one cares. Please wait patiently for your next console game port.

Deckies play PC games on their handhelds. PC GAMES. Software that runs on x86 hardware. They aren't locked to Steam (which is probably difficult for tendies to understand.)
>>712630197
>>>/vr/
go back to your containment board hardwarefag

>>712638096
>Docking Experience
Obviously those two issues don't exist when you dock it and use it with a real display and real PC inputs, which is how I started using my Deck once the official dock was available. Then I realized the dock has its own issues. We live in a post-Switch world, I expect devices like this to just plug in and werk, but even after several firmware updates the Deck dock doesn't do that. In Gaming Mode it'll flip through literally every resolution option until it finds something your external display supports, which will either take a while or it'll fail and you need to re-plug the Dock back in until it works. In Desktop Mode it sometimes flips out whenever you dock/undock the Deck but once you set the display preferences it'll always work.
I learned the hard way that, even though the official dock has two display out ports, the Deck's hardware is only powerful enough to support one external monitor so that was a bummer.
Also, never launch a game outside of Gaming Mode. The Deck loads in settings specifically for Gaming Mode when you install a game, so launching them in Desktop Mode usually results in the game not displaying properly and sometimes forcing the Deck to shut down.
>Gaming Performance
Here's the main problem with the Deck. Nobody expected this thing to be top of the line, but even then it still falls short when you want to play any modern game. Obviously you're not going to play Elden Ring or Monster Hunter on this unless you're okay with the PS4-era slide shows, but in my testing it goes deeper than that.
Cult of the Lamb, SMT Nocturne HD, Metal Gear Rising, and Dark Souls III all had framerate dips even with the default settings and despite the fact that none of those games are demanding.
DBZ Kakarot runs fine, but is one of those few games that doesn't like any external audio devices, which in this case is anything that isn't the Deck's speakers so that fucked me up when I played while docked.

>>712630890
i literally played the entire totk 30-40 fps on the deck
IN FACT I AM EMULATING TOTK ON MY S24 ULTRA AND ITS STILL RUNNING BETTER THAN ON THE OG SWITCH KEK

>>712640528
IMO I prefer using the Deck as a plug-in-play rather than actually docking it.
>External controls suck as most of the time, they add input lag and usually lack features the deck has like extra buttons and track pads.
>Some games and emulators tend to stick up their nose when an external controller is being used over the Deck
