Convince me to buy Steam Deck

its pretty cool

Get one if your computer can't run 4 year old games, otherwise just wait for the Deck II.

if you can, do what I did and sell counter strike crates to gambling addicted children on the black market (steam market) for absurd amounts of gaben bucks then use that money to get a 1tb limited edition oled. seriously cant believe I got limited edition hardware from shit I got for free playing a dogshit version of cs 9 years ago.

>>714850121 (OP)
There's 300 survivors games and their all good

>>714850121 (OP)
I would get one if I had to travel more.
>traveling out of town for business trip
>settled into the local La Quinta
>pizza's already on its way
>gaming time

steam deck is 3 years old, and the switch 2, a month old console already outsold it
there's no reason to get a steam deck when the switch 2 exists and everyone knows this

>>714850121 (OP)
You'll never get that consumer urge to own one out of your head until you buy one.

>>714851986
Nintendo won't let me have Neptunia.

>>714851986
switch 2 has no games and switch 1 is playable on deck.

>>714851986
>why is a console sold in every electronics department in the world selling more than a console only sold online?

>>714850121 (OP)
I sold mine. If you need to be convinced you're just wasting money.

>>714850121 (OP)
wait for the steam deck 2 you nigger

>>714850121 (OP)
No it's overpriced for an emulation machine.
This thing should be 300$ max

>wife on business trip to jamaica
>her kids staying with the grandparents
>order pizza, buy a 6 pack of IPA (wife doesn't let me drink around the kids)
>settle in on the couch with my deck

It doesn't get any better than this bros. We gaming.

It runs many pc games natively + many emulators run well, even Switch

>>714853882
2 more weeks right?

>>714854557
you can play pc games on your phone plus switch games runs well as well

>>714854636
>durrrrrrrr use your phone
playing PC games on a phone is a horrible experience, kill yourself
>tiny screen where you can't see shit
>have to use a shitty backbone controller
>battery burns out in ten seconds just so you can play anything past 5th gen
Steam Deck is a machine designed for gaming. A phone is designed for being a phone.

nigger, I can play mario kart 8 deluxe for 5+ hours on my redmagic, can you do the same on the steamdeck?

it's a computer that plays games

>>714853882
That won't be out until at least early 2028 given that the next gen Xbox will be out by late 2027.

>>714850121 (OP)
I sold mine after 6 months because it was a paperweight while I used my PC

>>714855404
OH GOD HER HANDS

>>714858553
The Deck is big so her hands look rather small in comparison

>>714851986
They call it the Switch 2 because it will make you Switch 2 another console lmao

>>714850121 (OP)
No, I had enough of you tech illiterate niggers poisoning discussion, stay away.

>>714851986
>everyone knows this
Why are you Indian on here?

>>714850121 (OP)
you can install linux on it and be lazy on your bed and run emulators n shit
if you have a shitty video card its not a bad idea to buy one

How loud is a fan?

>>714850121 (OP)
Ok.

>>714850121 (OP)
Do you travel, like playing video games in the family room, or are obligated to be around others for periods of time but not necessarily interacting with them 100% of the time? Then buy a Steam Deck.

You can play a lot of games on it.

>>714863275
>RTS on handheld
how bad is it?

>>714850121 (OP)
You're on /v/ meaning you're pretty stupid so you already halfway there.

>>714864036
You can always get a dock and plug in a mouse and keyboard

Not bad. Here's an example except I use the touchpads to swipe around.

>>714852579
Those games are garbage

>>714863275
wait, it can run CO:E33?

>>714864479
Yeah with mods.

Here's a better video.

>>714853791
Steam Deck is advertised on the steam store, that has like a billion people using it, it doesn't get better than that in terms of advertisement

>>714865065
Normalniggers still call it a shitch in public

waiting for a refurbished but no luck so far

>>714850321
Fpbp. Handheld helped me finish a lot of games that were still in my backlog.

>>714865065
valve's idea of advertising is a youtube video and a store banner. literally $0 in marketing

>>714850121 (OP)
Steam says I use it 94% of the time and it obsoleted my consoles. So it's alright, I guess.

>>714861420
OLED isn't loud at all. LCD used to be pretty damn loud, but Valve adjusted the fan curves in an update and even that's not bad anymore.

>>714855404
Accurate image. Tomoko is definitely the type to get a Deck over some pleb normalfag system.

>>714866548
The No.1 handheld for girls

>>714864523
Which mods help it run? Interested in possibly picking that game up
>>714863889
>or are obligated to be around others for periods of time but not necessarily interacting with them 100% of the time?
Yes, it's much more accessible for stuff like this. My wife crochets, I have the deck, and we have oneyplays or some shit on in the background, it's comfy

It's pretty good anon. Emulation is nice, of course, but also if you have a PS5 then you can stream your PS5 to that which is much better than the PS Portal (which has a bitrate limit of 15Mb).
