>>715260774 (OP)
Laptops can do more than some cheap china made toy that you overpaid.

>>715260774 (OP)
Explain one reason why I, a person with a PC that can play videogames, would need one?
>You can play in bed
I already can using a controller.
>You can play in different rooms
why would I need to?
>you can.. play.. outside?
lmao.

>>715260774 (OP)

>>715260774 (OP)

>>715262386
Pls share

But you can play any game you want on it

>>715260774 (OP)
I spend around 48 weeks out of 52 at home, it's not worth it.

>>715260774 (OP)
When I'm home I have a PC. When I'm not home, I'm doing other things that isn't gaming

>>715260774 (OP)
Just use a cell phone. Fuck all that little screen low power nonsense. Those are for 12 yr olds.

Don't follow all of these steps but follow the steps regarding making an account for Square Enix JP/dqx, and a free DeepL translation account
https://dqxabbey.com/
Get your DeepL api key from the DeepL website/accounts/api keys and usage
Then follow these steps
https://dqx-translation-project.github.io/steamdeck/
Being sure to paste your DeepL api key into the user config in, 1 space after the equals sign
Ie DEEPLAPIKEY = [code] and not DEEPLAPIKEY =[code]

>>715260774 (OP)
Where do people actually use it? I've never seen anyone play one in public.

>>715260774 (OP)
I don't want one.

>>715260774 (OP)
Because steam link, moonlight and chiaki are a thing. I'm also pretty poor.

i own an OLED and its awesome

Because I don't need one.
I don't really need a machine just for playing games on the go. I have my actual PC for when I want to game, and for when I am traveling, I mostly want to games that I can play in short bursts - things that don't require a lot of resources. So I just use my laptop, since that can run the games I want to play while traveling and can also be used a work machine.

>>715263691
but can it run doom (1993)

pc + 3ds is literally all I need.

weak piece of shit desu

>>715263516
I play mine in bed/on the couch/on the front porch/on the back porch
I used to take it on work trips but then I quit my job to be stay at home dad so it's more of a round the house device
prior to the steam deck I'd bring my GPD winmax on work trips and it always got a lot of attention and compliments

>>715263873
name something more powerful that does NOT run windows

>>715260774 (OP)
i don't have a need for it. i only need a switch 2 and my PC

I already got a pc
steam deck launched with compromise lcd screen
Oled launched when the device was starting to show its age and new games would struggle on it

steam deck 2 might be a good handheld if it launches with oled and works as a backup pc

I don't travel enough for me to warrant getting one. Even when i do, a laptop is always a better option.

>>715260774 (OP)
I'm poor

>>715264362
so walk up to yuor boss slap him and tell him to give you a raise right now or you will go full cartman on his ass

>>715260774 (OP)
I stream from my PC to my phone + gamesaar using sunshine/moonlight. Why would I need this $800 sloppa?

>>715262746
yea you're a manchild who needs to play roguelikeslop in private

>>715264424
I don't have a job

>>715260774 (OP)
I do have one. It's pretty much the only worthwhile handheld

>>715264362
Luke 6:20-21
And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. “Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. “Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.

>>715264596
get a fucking job trump will remove gibs soon (i dont support it but its facts at this point)

>>715264202
I wonder what is valve's strategy with the deck 2. Valve knows that once they announce a deck 2, it will create some kind of release schedule and people will base the purchasing around it, even having deck 3 & 4 in mind.
Also it seems valve is cautious with the production, making sure they don't have extra units unsold.

I'm not a big fan of the form factor and would like a new version that is compatible with retroid's upcoming dual-screen add-on and has improved specs.

Why would you need to travel to justify getting a Steam Deck? Playing on it and playing on a laptop are different experiences.

>>715264512
i got one of these recently and it feels miles better to use than my actual xbone controller i use for my pc

>>715264707
I think the continued message of "don't worry about the next one" and making the next one only when it makes sense will do them good. I bought the LCD which means I skipped the OLED but it's a great device, and enough time has passed that if another one drops in a year or two I'd be comfortable getting a fat upgrade on a 2(though the way gamings going I'm not sure I'd give a shit about a 3)

>>715264634
Guess I don't need a steam deck then.

>>715264694
You hiring?

>>715264797
is retroid linux?

>>715265129
sorry dont own a business

>>715264634
yes, be a good goy and give all your wealth to the church instead of leaving it for your family
generational wealth is a sin

>>715264832
because there is no experience where a laptop is less convinient so long as you have a surface to block the heat

>>715265210
Android, though I've heard they've fixed the android lag

>>715265210
You can boot into linux (rocknix) nowadays, thankfully.

>>715265336
Deck is more comfortable though.

>>715264694
Gibs aren't going away for the ADA crowd.

>>715265023
Yeah I think it's nice for a Chinesium controller

>>715266291
They're also not going away for most people. They talk big about "WERE GETTING RID OF GIBS FOR THE 30 YEAR OLD GAMERS" but that demographic barely exists, so they're just getting rid of gibs for the 300 year old civil war veterans on food stamps who have voted Democrat for the last 75 elections
my families food stamps were increased this year

>>715266291
no they are sending you lot to work camps instead all thanks to robert f kenedy jr

>>715260774 (OP)
Because I figured that if they're good, a gen2 model or a competitor would make something significantly better after the kinks were ironed out.
And somehow I thought a gen2 model would already be on its way, but maybe that was naïve of me.

>>715266475
The 30 year old gamer on gibs doesn't exist the way boomers who fell for it again think it does. The 30 and 40 somethings on gibs are either severely physically/mentally disabled or they got laid off during the great recession and are clever enough to get a doctor's note and thus the system already thinks they are severely disabled.
>>715266551
I'm an academic, we don't work.

I returned mine after 3 days.
>it just works brah!
tried 3 different games and all had issues. Im not wasting time tinkering on a handheld, fuck off.

>>715267390
what 3 games?

>>715260774 (OP)
it will get obsolete quick, just like ps5 and the xbox whatever its called
they released when new better technology was improving faster than they were developing, now they are outdated, worst gen ever to buy
for another example, its like early rtx cards with early dlss, they got outdated in like a year? with better versions of the same techs and chips
Valve will release a better deck, probably soon, and competition is also making some advancements
i just hope portability is one of those, most handheld "pc" now are NOT portable

>>715260774 (OP)
I already have a PC, so I don't see the point of a Steam Deck.

>>715267390
>waaa why isn't a handheld as powerful as a desktop PC and why is linux hard
>>715268440
This, but when it comes to emulation it is the best in the market when it comes to that sort of thing.

>>715261351
trannies love the deck albeit
unless you're saying that trannies support trump, in which case you'd be correct in that only the mentally ill voted for him

>>715260774 (OP)
I do, and it mostly collects dust outside of a handful of games. The idea of a PC handheld that can play anything is cool in theory, but in practice, for most games, I'd rather be playing on my PC with a normal controller or KB+M. For emulating old games, I'd rather have a lighter, smaller handheld. The Steam Deck straddles an awkward middle-ground for me that pretty much consists of indie/roguelike slop (which I'm terribly bored of right now) and the occasional emulated PS2 game.

>>715268850
I use it for PSX/PS2 rpgs. Can't remember anything else I've ever used it for.

Well I'm currently saving/training for several trips to Japan, China Australia and SE Asia through 2026 to 2030 as well as several matches of the World Cup in 2026.

The World Cup stuff is pretty self-explanatory, the travels though, is because I'm planning to walk the Shikoku Henro Trail, a 1200km route across the island of Shikoku in Japan, where Kobo Daishi or Kukai, who is the founder of Shingon Buddhism. His travels to China helped him decide on the structure of this Buddhist sect that became and still is the most popular form of Buddhism in the country, as well as the writing system of Hiragana. He's considered one of the most important figures in Japanese history, and around the 1600s a pilgrimage route along 88 (or 108 depending on if you include the Bekkaku) Temples was designed. These temples mark spots where legends tell the Kukai performed great tasks. He completed sculptures, sealed great snakes in mountains, and healed the sick. If you complete the route it is considered a means to ward against pain in fateful years. My latest would be in 2031, so it behooves me to complete the trail by then. Normally, most hikers can complete it with good health and a steady pace in two months. However, I have a leg injury that makes walking difficult, and will be going much slower.

My current plans are to take the trip in several smaller sections, in the spring and fall of 2026, 2028, and 2030 until I have completed the route. Along the way I will be visiting the extra inner temples, visiting different festivals and locales, such the Bull Sumo of Uwajima, or climbing Mt. Ishizuchi. In 2028 I plan to also travel to China to visit the temple in Xian that the Kukai learned Buddhism properly from, as well as other sights, then hopefully travel south to catch the eclipse in Australia that year, then return to Japan in the fall to continue.

Also I got an GBA Everdrive with a huge backlog, so I'm good on buying new stuff for a while. Wish me luck.
