Explain why you don't own a steamdeck

>>715280391 (OP)
I'd be too embarrassed to use it in public.
thank fuck, I passed the autism test

>>715280391 (OP)
because it would be the equivalent of buying a laptop from 5 years ago today.
the steam deck is not a console, where the software is made specifically for that hardware. it's a pc, when your specs are old you get left behind. and the deck is old. nobody should buy one at this stage, wait for the new one.

>>715280391 (OP)
I do. And a switch 2 and a pc.

>>715280391 (OP)
Because I have a Gaming PC

>>715280391 (OP)
I own an lcd and an oled deck. I plan on getting a Xbox rog.

Ive had a lot of fun with mine. Everyone can boo hoo about specs or how wide their anus has gotten lately, but fun is the only thing that matters.

>>715280391 (OP)
My PC is good enough so I don't actually need one.

>>715280391 (OP)
The Steam Deck (3 years on the market) was outsold by the Switch 2 in roughly 48 hours. This is in spite of /v/ /r/RedditPCMR spamming how cool and totally hip they were, with billions of PC gamers on the planet buying one.

The Steam Deck never even outsold the Ouya, N-Gage, Wii U, PS Vita. Because /v/ has an echochamber effect for PC gaming, ie the PC fanboy.

>>715280391 (OP)
Too heavy and the fan is too loud

>>715281005
what causes this genre of mentally ill posts
the switch sold well and all you have to show for it is a giant dick in your ass

>>715280547
I’ve never seen anybody use one in public. I did see somebody using one of those other handheld PCs and you could tell he was a total sperg

>>715282329
Not that anon but the point is nobody is actually buying the deck and by the metrics we generally use to gauge success of a console, it is a failure that has not even reached the sales of other failures. Yet we see constant threads about it here, often in comparison to a Switch or Switch 2. These devices are not even competing with each other. Deck is that jew from the Don Draper meme saying “I feel bad for you” and the Switch 2 is saying “I don’t think about you at all”

>>715280391 (OP)
I do have it, I also gained some kilos.
I might cosplay as the 'ecker in these days, it would be funny.

>>715280391 (OP)
I'm not a fat hairy gay bear with a chode 'ick

>>715280391 (OP)
Planning on getting one later this year. What are some good PC games for it? Are the trackpads good for gayming?

>>715282329
The Steam Deck hasn't outsold the Ouya, Wii U, PS Vita, N-Gage. Despite you insisnting it is the best thing since bread and butter was discovered. Maybe use that head of yours to think about why you might be in an echochamber on /v PC fanboy era/ and Reddit /r/PCMR

>>715281005
Sales and Sales 2 are my favorite video games. You consolefags have rotten brains.

>>715282776
Are we in Bizarro land? Nintendo fans can't help but bring up the Switch in every single Deck thread. Notice how the 2nd mention of the Switch (first was an idort post) was sales shitposting--this board is Nintengaf and you all seethe whenever anyone brings up anything that isn't nintendo. Then you all cry foul when you get called retards in threads that have nothing to do with the switch.

>>715280391 (OP)
I do

>install Prince of Persia the Lost Crown on the extral HDD hooked to my Steam Deck dock
>endure ubisoft connect
>plays fine
>finish my session and close the game
>ubisoft connect session closed on my desktop
>log in again
>Prince of Persia starts itself after i log in

Great launcher ubishit

>>715283232
>consolefags haves
>sales
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. WHO THE FUCK IS MAKING STEAM COCURRENT USER THREADS? HAHAHAHAHA. You are a blind PC fanboy.

I'm neither a vegan nor trans

>>715283559
and who's making the famitsu threads, retard

>>715283020
>says the same thing
which part of sales don't mean quality did you not understand

>>715283559
You mean the ubishit and EA threads? The same people making metacritic threads. PC gamers don't care about sales, because PC will always be supported regardless of sales. You think I give a shit that only 500 people bought Eschatos or Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum? No--that doesn't mean shit in a market with 30000+ games. The fact that console purists can't grasp this idea shows that you care more about companies and marketing than actual video games. You likely only play shit that has 10 threads up at once on /v/. I pity you, honestly.

>>715280391 (OP)
Because the refurbished oled is out of stock.

I had one, used it once or twice and then sold it. I don't leave my house enough to use something like that.

I do own a steam deck OLED, but its underpowered. It can only play indie games and older games over 60fps.

But I'm not a poorfag so I dont really care that much about it since it plays 40-50 fps on most demanding games.

I'll just sell it when they announce deck 2 and pay the difference.

I did the same thing with the deck OLED except I knew it was coming out before hand from an inside source, so I sold my deck LCD and payed $80 difference.

If I get word from my source that the deck 2 is coming out next year I'll probably sell mine in advance

>>715280391 (OP)
Wouldn't use it at home since I have better alternatives.
Wouldn't use it at work for obvious reasons.
Wouldn't use it during commuting because I drive a car.

>>715280601
>when your specs are old you get left behind
I have an RTX3090 and 90% of the games I play on Steam would run on a Steam Deck. That includes new games. But again, I don't consume AAA games. Maybe in the mindset of someone who buys the newest console to consume the latest blockbuster, your reasoning makes some sense. But even for console users, this reality is no longer present. Look how long it took for the PS5 user base to surpass that of the PS4 on PSN. Even 5 years after the release of the new console, half of PSN users continued to use the old console, which strongly indicates that upgrading is no longer so essential even for console owners.

>>715289186
It’s not essential for console owners but new PC games aren’t optimized for old hardware like they are when ported to consoles. This doesn’t always necessitate new hardware, especially if you don’t care about AAA slop… and I certainly do not; I don’t like ugly black protagonists or tranny shit in video games. Games with $100+ million budgets and 1,000 developers (most of whom are street shitting poojeets). But for those idiots who consume soulless AAA Indian-programmed garbage, they might need to upgrade their hardware. The deck couldn’t really play some of the newest AAA slop back when it was released. It’s a low end gaming PC from 2022 with integrated hardware on a SOC, from a PC gaming hardware perspective it’s fallen behind. The Switch 2 will get optimized ports of games that the Deck can’t play (but could plays if there was an optimized port, however, there isn’t)

>>715289898
Speaking of optimized ports, I'm floored with how well Alien Isolation plays on the Deck. Constant 60 except for some in-game cutscenes. I wish that kind of magic extended to E33.

>>715280391 (OP)
I'm waiting for the Steam Deck 2

>>715280391 (OP)
I already have a PC.

>>715280601
There's still thousands of games you can play on it though.

>>715281005
Do we even have sales numbers for the Ouya and N-Gage?

Because I already own a superior lego.

>>715280391 (OP)
I play on my PC instead

>>715282776
Genuine question, why do sales matter to prospective consumer? I can get arguing about sales if you were talking about which company to buy shares in, but you're not. You two are arguing about which you should buy. The only thing that matters is what features each console has.

Waiting for the 2.

>>715291078
Why are you? Alien Isolation was an Xbox 360 game.

>>715295272
People always flock to the most popular thing. It's called the bandwagon effect bias. Let's say we had a /v/ poll about redheads, brunettes, or raven hair women in video games; if you knew which one was willing the popularity poll you'd more likely vote for the ones who are in the lead.

>>715280391 (OP)
i don't really see the use for when I can just launch steam link and play with my phone on bed

>>715295694
You'd have better luck if you went with flat vs busty vs MEGAMELONS

>>715280601
No idea why they don't just have yearly releases for this thing. Like I guess that makes it harder to verify or online support advize but like they could just make them relatively similar rather than using revolutionary technology.

>>715282273
*the fans are too loud

>>715280391 (OP)
I'm waiting for deck 2

>>715282986

>>715280391 (OP)
I got a used OLED one in perfect condition for cheap but I’d say it still feels very experimental. I mainly got it to play visual novels, for anything more recent it's not that great and I’d much rather play newer games on a bigger screen.
I can see why the Steam Deck isn’t that popular.

>>715295723
physical buttons?

>>715295723
idk how anyone can tolerate it
i have wifi 6 and both my phone and my pc support it
just for fun i launched tf2 and controlled it through the mouse and keyboard and the latency was abysmal

>>715282776
So the issue is you and a lot of other people are trying to compare a UMPC that is targeting the UMPC market to that of a console like switch 2 which targeting the console market. No where does it say Steam deck is trying to compete with Nintendos flagship consoles and anyone suggesting otherwise is a retard
>it is a failure
Usually said by someone thinking the deck was competing against Nintendo's flagship consoles. Its a major success in dominating and innovating the UMPC market and bringing down prices for shit like 1000$ chinkware and it put Microsoft to shame but it would be considered a sales failure if put up against Nintendo's switch 2.

>>715280391 (OP)
I like the warm electronics smell that comes out of the top vent

>>715282776
>it is a failure that has not even reached the sales of other failures.
k. still not buying trannyshitch 2 fagkong

>>715298471
>No where does it say Steam deck is trying to compete with Nintendos flagship consoles and anyone suggesting otherwise is a retard
Tell that to steamdeck retards who feel the need to cope about their purchase in every nintendo switch thread. The Steamdeck is a cute novelty but it's competition is actual gaming laptops, not nintendo. And at this point it's outdated and valve is half assing it's support.

>>715299031
Then tell that to nintendo trannies who feel the need to shit up deck threads with their eric and snoy obsession instead of actually play their tablets

>>715299031
>Tell that to steamdeck retards who feel the need to cope about their purchase in every nintendo switch thread.
like you're doing now, coping about switch sales in this steam deck thread?

I've no need for a portable gaming device.

>>715295990
It's because it's using a pared down apu specifically for a gaming device. The laptop equivalents would be too power hungry or expensive and AMD would make more just selling them to laptop manufacturers

>>715299241
>>715299286
>N-NOOO YOU DID IT FIRST!
Cry about it. Steamdeckfags deserve to get shat on for almost ten years of faggotry

>>715299741
>N-NOOO YOU DID IT FIRST!
I did no such thing. You're the only one here seething and shitting up threads about things you don't like. Maybe it's time to log off, faggot.

>>715299741
>Cry about it. Steamdeckfags deserve to get shat on for almost ten years of faggotry
>ten years
decks been out for 3 years schizo nintendo tranny

>>715299741
Are you angy about being made fun of on 4chan? That has less to do about the console and more about the general behavior of tendies. Behaviors like the one you're exhibiting right now.

Seething

>>715280391 (OP)
Already own a good PC and don't travel enough anymore to make it worth buying a handheld that already does what my rig does, but worse.

>>715299741
you don't get it do you
the deck is a wholesale fully functional pc that also btfoed the switch at doing its own thing
now you niggers invade those threads because you think nintendo not being in the second place at doing its own exclusive thing is something to praise

>>715299741
preach king. PC fanboys getting karma. steam deck did not sell well and the steam machine was abandoned.

I bought the steam controller and the that steam device that plugs into your tv. Both were shit and a waste of money. I dont trust vavle to make very good hardware. Theyre a software company and should stay one.
