I was just in a regular deck thread and the very first post was some unprovoked dumbass screeching about how the deck sucks because of switch sales. I remember when the deck first came out and people were trying to get it kicked to /g/.

It seems to honestly just be nintendo weenies and unironic chink handheld shills.

Ignoring that the deck is sold out right now, did better than valve projected, the huge difference in marketing, production and availability compared to a console, and that it did everything valve set out to do with it, how do sales affect you or deck owners? All sales have done is enabled nintendo's arrogance as they fuck their consumers in the ass.

Other than as a justification for screwing you. Unless you like being screwed, of course. Because buying into the switch 2 is just telling nintendo to screw you harder.

I have never in my life seen this here in fact its guaranteed that at any hour I come to this board there will be 3 anti deck threads at any time,just yesterday some guy couldn't resist making a switch 2 thread because apparently it bothered him that there was a comfy steam deck thread.

I have one and I'm always blown away at how shit valve is at designing hardware. the steam controller and this both felt horrible to hold and use for lengths of time.

>>712706219
I don't know why I laughed so hard at this. This is such an honest response.

Anti-Valve shills, that's literally it

I don't seethe at it, but I don't really care to play games when I'm out and already have a killer PC.
It's pretty cool though.

>>712706219
It is weird how their new system dropped and their shitposting didn't let up for a second. Almost like they enjoy bootlicking and simping for nintendo more than anything else.

>>712706439
It's not perfect, but it's so much better than any console/handheld I've ever owned it's not even funny and I've owned all the major ones.

>>712706598
It's funny you say that because they did the exact same thing with this thread.
>>712693110
The butthurt the deck causes despite how good and consumer friendly it is is utterly baffling.

>>712706809
I don't believe you. The deck looks like shit to hold, but it is extremely comfy. Its ergonomics are so much better than any other handheld I've ever used.

>>712708472
we can disagree. I'm just not a huge fan of the shape and button placement especially when laying on my back.

>>712689758

It's dominating the handheld PC market accounting for about 2/3 of sales.

>>712709581
games, features, consumer friendliness > holy mother of all power gaps this isn't even in the same universe > sales

Deck is too underpowered for me. I upgraded to a Rog Ally X and never looked back. The literally 2x battery life is a godsend. If Valve ever makes a Deck they better double the battery size.

>>712690178
That is revenge for all the time spent shitting on the switch
You don't get to be an asshat for so long and not expect for us to just drop it when you and snoys are proven so unbelievably wrong

>>712710535
Seeing fanboys claim victimhood is always funny. But I saw what you lot did in deck threads and te constant, constant shitposts against it and attempts to ban discussion from /v/ the moment it was announced/released, so nice try.

Steamdeckfags are the one's who constantly tell everyone to buy their system completely unprompted, we just want to play fun games and be left alone by you video game vegans. Now you guys are losing badly and you don't want to finish what you started. switch 2 outclasses the steamdeck in every possible way
- better performance
- better games
- no fiddling around for hours to get games barely working and hope you don't crash
- an actual fucking dock that works seamlessly.
- cheaper when you consider the cost of steamdeck dock
- physical games/game key cards which you can sell instead of digital only store
- smaller and lighter

the shills assume everyone else must be retarded just because they are.

>>712710535
we couldn't even have deck threads for like 2 years because of constant tendie shitposting

go fuck yourself

>>712711342
No, just deck shills doing everything they can to play the latest capcom slop and justify their purchase. You see it with every release to the point there are entire channels dedicated to
>Will it run on the Deck?
And most times it's bullshit like how people claimed Wukong can run on it, but if you played past Act 1 you'd know that's not true at all.

Fuck off

>>712711965
>you fuckers
you found him! the guy who did that! lmfao you can't be real.

I've owned a Deck since early November and while I've definitely enjoyed it and played it a ton, haven't even touched my switch since I got it, I can definitely understand where the dislike and criticism is coming from.

You can't play literally just every and any Steam game on it and a lot of the games I've wanted to play on it the fucking controls don't even register at all.

>>712711965
Don't go pretending you fuckers are victims.

>>712712106
>a lot of the games I've wanted to play on it the fucking controls don't even register at all.
Controller configs. Worst case if nobody has made one for a game yet you can map it yourself, steam makes it super easy. Sure it's kind of a hassle, but I've played hundreds of games on my deck at this point and it's pretty rare. Out of all the games I've tried, regardless of verification ratings, there's been only one that refused to start and even that had a solution, I just haven't cared to do it yet.

>>712702420
>new system has a slower adoption rate than the successor to one of the best selling home consoles of all time
consider me awestruck
Deck is a side gig for Valve, an experiment and its been a success by their metrics, their core market is people who own PCs and laptops, they have the money to invest in experimental stuff like the Deck
Deck has also inspired a number of similar products like the Asus Rog Ally and that new Xbox handheld, the Deck wasn't gonna be a blowout success like a traditional console, it was marketed towards a niche of PC gamers, which it has been successful with and is growing in popularity, it helps that the Deck isn't just a console either, its also a PC that you can tinker with all you want

The trackpad is something I cant live without and it's only on the deck so it makes what would be the perfect handheld device into a mediocre one because it lacks power. Also the price is too much. A Z1 extreme device like the ally is $400 maximum used on eBay.

You could make the argument if it doesn't run at 60fps on the deck it shouldn't be played. That's a lot of games.

>>712712627
People make the mistake of thinking the hardware is valve's aim with the deck, when it isn't. It's a vehicle to drive steamos/proton adoption. Valve's winning strategy here is getting everyone else to make the hardware for them and then loading it up with their software, making it a steam device.

I love my steam deck, I understand tendies get pissy cause they thought mobile gaming was something only nintendo could do, but desu they're missing out the most not having one cause a deck will emulate all the tendie software that isn't available on the switch/s2 easily.
Perfect companion device for those who actually play games.

Nice fantasy you got there. People will call you a poorfag constantly for not buying the latest PS5, Nintendo Switch, etc in threads that aren't necessarily even about those.
They do say the fanboy is blind to his own actions.

I think niggas that bitch about the deck or the switch are uber gay. And comparing them in almost any respect is doubly stupid.

it's a console standard already
nintendo is the only one schizoid enough to go the apple anti tamper route though
they obsess over security because it's always better experience to pirate than pay nintendo once emulators hit

I don't get the argument of getting a switch 2 other than plain Nintendo exclusivity. Which to me has never been a good incentive to buy any console over $300.
I mean you're telling me to give up hundreds of thousands of games available and coming out every single rotten day, buying one game on PC and not having to buy a copy for my handheld, no subscriptions, cheaper games, OLED and actual HDR, a battery life I can manipulate into being decent, the potential for better performance through updates (that already has happened, by the way), ergonomics, the ability to stream any games on it with no perceivable input lag, all of this shit just to play donkey kong, mario kart and a 5 year old game at better FPS? Make it make sense somehow.

>>712716712
>People will call you a poorfag constantly for not buying the latest PS5, Nintendo Switch, etc in threads that aren't necessarily even about those.
Yeah, it's almost like a bunch of retards are still console warring when it's a completely worthless thing to argue about nowadays. Deckfags are in the same boat.

>>712719651
>Which to me has never been a good incentive to buy any console over $300.

You're so observant and accurate in your estimation. I regularly shill the steam deck.

>>712721441
It's good for DS emulation and that's about it.
You forget because the Deck has good touchpads so it isn't necessary to use the shitty touchscreen for any reason whatsoever.

>>712721509

SteamOS isn't flawless yet. If they go hard on shilling the Deck, and the most braindead tech illiterate normie can't use it, it's going to flop. It's better for Valve to keep it niche and just focus on improving it.

Not him, but if you wanted to play some gachashit like weebering waves you'd need an OS that allows game developers to diddle your kernel. Only game like that I'm aware of that apparently works but is risky (as in, you could get banned at some point) is genshit impact.
The deck can't:
-Play >2020 AAA games, basically anything that includes a raytracing setting, comfortably
-Play Anticheat shit
-Play some really weird old software nobody ever runs on these
I wish people were aware of this before buying one, but also that niggers that know this perfectly, and buy one anyways, and complain about performance being subpar, would eat shit and die.
