Thread 717171330

Why did nobody buy it?

Because that's what you want to believe.

>nobody
I have one?

OP are you retarded

>>717171449
The 'ecker guy also has one.

>>717171330 (OP)
But that's not a Switch 2

>>717171330 (OP)
Just one unit could have been sold and as long as it was mine I wouldn't care. Love my deck so much it's unreal.

>>717171330 (OP)
It sold millions of units. It may have been sold much less than other gaming devices, but it's still sold a lot of units, objectively.

>>717171330 (OP)
People want an actual gaming device, so they bought Switch 2.

>>717171330 (OP)
it's a niche product, you can buy laptop with better performance

>>717171330 (OP)
Then how am I posting from one?

>>717172173
>you can buy laptop with better performance
not false, but also completely retarded

>>717171668
Why would you buy a Deck if you have a desktop PC?

>>717171330 (OP)
I'm nobody.
I use it to play docked in bed, or as a backup PC if I need to troubleshoot something.
Honestly, I'd probably be better off with the upcoming Steam Console, but the 64gb LCD model was pretty cheap and I bought it on impulse. No regrets.

>>717171330 (OP)
I did.

>>717171330 (OP)
Gaming laptops are unironically superior, but deckfags don't want to have that conversation

>>717172839
And desktops are unironically superior to laptops you retard.

>>717172664
So you can play the PC games in bed or on the coach or on the go.
Why do you care how people spend their money?

>>717171330 (OP)
The steam deck is for vidya enthusiasts, the switch is for children. There's a lot more of the latter than the former

When are we getting a steam deck lite or a 3rd party SteamOS device that's cheaper but is lighter and has lower specs?
I just want to play my 2d pixel indie slop.

>>717172910
Desktops are not portable dumbass

>>717172925
Buying a Deck just to play PC games in bed when you have a desktop PC is lazy

>>717172593
You can’t upgrade Steam Deck, no AMD Threadripper 9980X 64-Core CPU for you.

>>717172664
So I can play my fuckhuge pc library instantly wherever I want. I use my deck far more than my desktop for gaming at this point.

>>717173051
Laptops are barely portable.

>deck has the best software
>competitors have the best hardware
why must we compromise

>>717171330 (OP)
>nobody
thats me
i bought all the steam decks

>>717173080
It's perfectly normal to want a comfortable position to play your video games.

>>717172839
I've had gaming laptops for two decades. The deck is so much better for gaming it's not even funny and people trying to argue otherwise are coping.

>>717171330 (OP)
They choose to get the better console, Nintendo Switch 2

>>717173186
Wait for the deck 2
In a couple of years.

>>717171330 (OP)
>I have a PC
>Valve won't ship to my country
This.

>>717173272
I already have a stream library, I ain't buying games again just to play them mobile.

>>717173229
You can play on your pc at your desk

>>717173051
And laptops aren't handhelds.

>>717173414
No, I want to lie in bed for controller games.

A bed is for fucking and sleeping, play your vidya on the couch.

>>717173272
As a former tendie the Deck is so insanely better it almost feels like cheating.

>>717171330 (OP)
>Why did nobody buy it?

Here's the thing about the Steam Deck... these machines are manufactured by Valve themselves... they have sold more than 4-million units. Which is honestly, truly remarkable...

>>717171330 (OP)
Because Gayben doesn't let me buy one

>>717173620
...then it got outsold by the Switch 2 in the matter of weeks. Truly pathetic.

>>717173661
Why the fuck are you horse racing which device sold more? These are two completely different niches.

How well will it run on Steam Deck?

>>717173706
>"The "Switch Killer" threads didn't happen!"
Lol lmao Deckfags coping hard with their floppa

>>717173661
If all things were equal and nintendo only sold the s2 in select countries exclusively on their own site with zero marketing or retail/physical presence, it would sell far worse than the deck.

>>717173110
You likely can't upgrade that $2500 gaming laptop, either
MAYBE you can add more ram or a new SSD but it's probably soldered in place these days

>>717173186
Install SteamOS?

>>717171330 (OP)
Why would you buy something to play PC games when you have a PC already?
I genuinely don't get the point.

>>717173146
Why would you willingly play on a smaller screen?

Because no one plays on PC these days. You only have bots idling for CSGO guns and the CCP bumping up Chinese made games.

>>717171330 (OP)
Me and 2 of my friends have bought one each...

>>717173826
As a device the Deck absolutely killed my Switch and I'm not buying a S2 because of it. It is such a crazy better system it's not even funny. The sales shit is purely just a matter of marketing and retail presence. Also, I do not think the S2 is going to be doing too well from here on out.

>>717173272
>TWO games
Meanwhile Steam gets more quality releases in a week then the Shitch 2 will get in its entire lifetime.

>>717174230
This is only true if you're into indie pixel games about transitioning

>>717174183
Why does anyone use their smartphone at home instead of sitting at their desktop? And when the screen is so close to your face it doesn't matter.

>>717174324

yikes

>>717174205
PC is crushing consoles and doing better than ever. Steam alone easily gets more active users in a month than Nintendo gets in a year and that number is years old and keeps growing. At this point it's likely more in one week.

>>717174580
sorry bud but nintendo is trooncore

>>717174571
Everybody but the Japanese hating it and Nintendo becoming a clown show.

>>717174380
I literally never use my phone for anything when I am at home.

>>717174926
You are an anomaly.

>>717174670
>active users
lmao, it's free to create a steam account all you need is mcdonalds wifi. funny that when valve makes a handheld it's a historic flop

>>717174670
>t-these bots mog nintendo
AHAHAHA

>>717174056
Tendies literally don't understand how much of a beta test the deck is
If it was a big launch it would have fucking ate absolute shit and tainted the umpc market forever
Valve needed the time in the oven for proton and to learn how to properly support hardware
Meanwhile Nintendo is strong arming their subsidiaries into compatibility and the switch 2 is essentially Gameboy 7 with how fucking little Nintendo cares

>>717175119
>lmao, I don't know what active means

>>717175527
retardGOD

>>717175527
idle bots in TF2 and Counter Strike would count as active users

If you had to remove mindless drone bots, nimtendo would have zero users

>"It will flop eventually, you'll see!"
The absolute state of Switch 2 doomposters

>>717172664
Because you can't take the desktop everywhere?
Literally all the prep required to use the deck is to sit down

>>717175906
Even japan is desperately dumping everything they can onto steam as the de facto platform and jumping on, but I do understand you autists have massive sunk cost and are terrified of change

>>717176007
Hell, you don't even have to sit down.

>>717175906
pc market is so lucrative it killed exclusivity outside of nintendo
even the tendie devs would develop for pc and other consoles if not for the dictatorship nintendo runs

>>717176018
The only one doing that is capcom and look what happened, monster hunter wilds shit the bed and their stock price plummeted. Also imagine caring about a dying nation of incels LMAO

>>717176149
all games end up on consoles outside of mmo's and indie slop for a reason, it doesn't happen the other way around

>>717174571
it has no games

>>717175953
All the red flags are there and Nintendo is screwing you as hard as they possibly can, but keep gaping, surely they'll give you that reach around you're begging for someday.

>>717176149
PC market is a nice little boost for a lot of game developers that helps offset rising costs, consoles are still king regrettably.

>>717176242
exclusivity happens for a reason retard
that reason is bribes
multiplat is the natural state of games

>>717176340
oh nice when are the mario games coming to PC?

>>717176430
When people care enough about shovelware

Would have liked to buy the white one. Maybe it will be available again at some point.

>>717176497
People with money care. Third worlders only care about laundering money through Steam market so they can finally afford an iPhone

>>717176430
nintendo is in the business of selling you shit hardware with big profit margins so never
they're ideologically opposed to freedom due to their commitment of being authoritarian toymakers
not that it matters, emulation mogs

I bought two

>>717176331
80% of devs at gdc said they're making games for pc. Only 8% said they were making a game for the s2 and the s2 is the only relevant console left.

>>717171330 (OP)
I already have a phone

>>717171330 (OP)
But a lot of people boughtened it?

>>717176572
keep moving that goalpost sweetheart

>>717176616
Which LGBT devs did they poll?

>>717176430
They've been on pc for decades. PC has more nintendo games than any of nintendo's systems.

>>717176635
but what I said perfectly aligns with what I said earlier
You think that if nintendo developers didn't have the suffocating restrictive orders from above they wouldn't go for multiplat money?
it's bribes just like I said

>>717176695
8%

It’s extremely niche and there’s nothing wrong with that

>>717176773
>I'm a retard with no understanding of economics or business
>it must be bribes

>>717171537
He has more than one.

>>717176176
They're literally all doing it. Everybody is. Exclusivity is dead outside of nintendo (and even that's only by technicality when emulation exists) and the moment nintendo's only remaining hardware line starts floundering is when it dies completely.

>>717176879
Only in terms of social awareness. It's a device for literally anybody who likes video games.

>>717171330 (OP)
Waiting for Deck 2. Where is it?

>>717176891
>no you see, the enslaved nintendo ip devs don't want the free money from the trivial effort of porting their games, they choose exclusivity

Go easy on him, fanboys have the IQ of a sea sponge.

>>717177021
>exclusivity is dead except for the country that is about to set the record for most consoles sold in human history
oh okay, yeah man exclusivity is totally dead if we just don't count the one company dominating the industry doing it

>>717171330 (OP)
I bought it. 0 reason to buy any other handheld

>>717172839
Kinda yes and kinda no.
As a person that has had both, Laptops are better when you are away from home and have many hours to kill. Laptops are worse than the deck if you are away from home but only have an hour and some minutes.

Steam Deck is always the better, safer choice over a laptop as the laptop requires too much commitment, space and setup. Plus it draws more attention to you which is always a bad thing when niggers are around. People are always on their phone so having something similar doesn't draw too much attention.

>>717172664
Why would you buy one without a desktop PC?
It is a companion, made better by the shared library, not worse.

>>717177096
Most people just see something that’s expensive and runs games worse than their PC they already own

>nintendo fanboys: literally nothing but sales matter!
>deck still lives completely and utterly rent free in their heads at all times
Love it. Almost like they know it's the vastly better system and can't stop coping.

>>717173186
>competitors have the best internal hardware
>deck has the best controls and external hardware
There is no salvation for us

>>717177519
>that’s expensive and runs games worse than their PC they already own
Yeah that's a handheld

>>717177526
>selling things shouldn't matter for companies trying to sell things

>>717172839
more performant
in exchange for requiring a mouse, a socket and a flat surface for both the laptop and a mouse at all times

>>717176905
He has a whole harem of 'icked 'ecks

>>717177327
>the one company dominating the industry doing it
Valve releases their games on other platforms.
Seriously though, if you don't think the one dominating is valve, you live in a tiny bubble.

>>717177526
They’re not even competitors. The average person with a Switch is either 10 years old or doesn’t know how to operate a computer

>>717177596
They shouldn't matter for you, the person buying the things.

>>717174750
The slut from fire emblem is a tranny? FUCK

>>717177519
So why does everyone have a phone when they could just use a desktop?

>>717177327
>dominating the industry doing it
By what possible metric?
Sorry to break it to you, but the industry is still dominated by Call of Duty and Fifa.

>>717174927
>>717177728
No, you fucking retards.

>>717177519
Can you not pretend to be retarded? Hell, portability is the only thing keeping Nintendo's remaining hardware alive.

>>717177706
Seems to matter a lot to steamies here

>>717177327
exclusivity went from being ubiquitous to a selling point for one console whose makers have gone rabid about emulation because of how hard it obsoletes it
so yes

>>717171330 (OP)
Are the trackpads good for any game?

>>717177782
You literally need a phone to survive now

>>717177923
seems to work just fine for Nintendo, the industry leader

>>717177782
give it 2 years and even phones will become micro 'ecks with valve extending proton to arm

>>717177972
Pretty much any game designed around mouse control.
Playing a strategy game or a CRPG is aidshell on any other handheld but is fine on the switch.

>>717177870
The Switch’s portability is popular because of children. They can play in their room because dad wants to watch the news

>>717177702
The average oge of switch owners is somewhere between 20-40. Kids could not care less about nintendo, they're all off in fortnite, minecraft, roblox, and mobile.

I have three of em

>>717177998
You can do everything a phone can on a desktop. I wonder what the difference is.

>>717178260
Being able to call people at any time is a necessity to survive and expected. The demand for playing games outside the house just isn’t that big for PC gamers

>>717171549
>>717172071
>>717173272
But the Steam Deck was literally designed by people who enjoy video games.

>>717178096
Nintendo tries to aim their children, but it's mainly 30 year olds buying and playing them, by nintendo's own data.

>>717172664
Can't bring my desktop on the plane

>>717173272
but that's the deck?
the switch is a selective Nintendo gaming device
the deck is a general purpose gaming device that plays almost everything

>>717178503
Lmfao

>>717173272
Friendly reminder the Deck can play more Nintendo games then Switch 2 can.

>>717173272
Holy based! Complete Nintendo victory!

>>717178372
So why did nobody want Nintendo's home consoles, but their handhelds have always done well? "PC gamers" is something in the billions now. It's not a matter of trying to appeal to some niche. And even just using it around the house is extremely convenient. The attempt at arguing like portability is some niche pointless feature that nobody cares about is one of the dumbest ones levied at the deck, especially when it's done by nintendo fanboys while portability is the only thing keeping nintendo's hardware alive.

How does one get so emotionally invested in Nintendo anyway? At 30 years old?

>>717179001
How do you know noone would buy a nintendo home console?

>>717171330 (OP)
>Nobody bought the 'eck
People actually bought it. Deck alone raised the overall linux usage. Thanks to SteamOS which is Arch in disguise, the Deck was never going to be a mainstream console. Im actually surprised that it sold so many units. I expected another Valve dud, but it would seem that Deck and SteamOS are here to stay

>>717179187
They're here to stay if valve goes for a big launch and mind breaks OEMs into not using jeetdows

>>717179150
From their repeated flops and clear decline barring the wii because of a gimmick that everybody mow hates. Nintendo could save the 3ds, they couldn't save the wii u.

>>717179279
I expect a big steamOS release with Steam Deck 2, which is inevitable to be released in the future.

>>717178806
Games don't matter to tendies, only sales matter. Even if the only thing those sales do is make nintendo greedier and shaft their consumers harder. A parasocial relationship with a corporation is all they have in their life.

'ave a deck
'ave a desktop
'ave a laptop
love em all
simple as

>>717179380
Long time ago, things change

Regardless, the Deck is obviously niche since it’s not selling that well

>>717171330 (OP)
Deck has no exclusives and therefore zero games. Absolutely no reason to get a shitdeck when I've already sold my kidney for a solid desktop

>>717172664
Because believe it or not there are people that go to places especially since it's summer

>>717179670
>deck has 95% of all games ever made therefore it has 0 games
big brain time.

>>717179645
it's niche because valve couldn't handle a big release with baby proton
they need experience with hardware and proton needed maturity

>>717178074
Freudian slip?

>>717179670
>muh deck exclusives
Falseflagging console niggers need to hang. The main "exclusive" of the Deck is being able to install whatever software you want without doing the nigger jailbreak humiliation ritual.

>>717179645
>Regardless, the Deck is obviously niche since it’s not selling that well
see
>>717174056

>>717179842
Valve doesn't want to try and make a UMPC into some super mainstream thing, the formfactor will never be that. Its an enthusiast device, exactly as they have always been. They did however totally cutoff Microsoft to the punch which matters a lot for the future of Windows and Linux.

>>717179528
>anon says while deepthroating Gaben cock

When will valve broughted out steam deck 2?

>>717180050
I'd bet on mid 2027. Nothing so far is even hinted at though.

>>717179670
>solid desktop
does the desktop have More games than the deck then?

>>717179815
There is no reason to buy a 2nd switch2 or PS5 when you already own one.

Steam Deck is the same logic to a desktop PC.

>>717179645
It is always in the top 5 on steam's global best sellers despite not being sold globally. It has zero marketing or retail presence. It sold out again after the switch 2 launched. It is selling far better than valve expected, especially for how little they put into pushing it.

>>717171330 (OP)
Friendly reminder that the Deck Derangement Posters are literally just seething thirdies.

>>717180180
There absolute is if you want to game on your couch or if you actually travel and go places.You don't know the joy of renting out a cabin during winter and cozy gaming on the deck

>>717180262
How many have they sold? Keep in mind there are 1.8 billion PC gamers in the world

>>717180016
I shit on valve often. Meanwhile you retards can't extricate nintendo's dick from your asses no matter how fucking bad they get.

>>717180180
Do you never go outside? that's the use case

>>717180382
Literally nobody but valve knows.

>>717180448
Why would I go outside to play video games?

>>717171330 (OP)
Valve didn't marketed it

>>717171549
Switch 2 sold more in a month that deck in 3 years

>>717180503
Because you're an adult that can't afford to stay at home all the time?

>>717171330 (OP)
People did buy it but not many are made and you can only buy them on Steam. They also don't get marketed much. The Steam Deck basically being the PC gaming handheld market alone is impressive though. This will all change with the Steam Deck 2 since that's rumored to be getting the console-level launch meaning heavy marketing, sells in retail stores, global launch. Steam Deck 2 will be made to make the PC handheld mainstream while also having compatibility with the Steam Controller 2, and Deckard.

>>717180620
You mean at work? I’m fine just talking to people or listening to music

>>717171549
Switch 2 already sold over 5 million units.

>>717180180
I thought the same until I actually got one and it instantly made my consoles worthless and now it's all but replaced my 4090 desktop for gaming.

>>717172839
>Gaming laptops are unironically superior
In what way?

>>717171330 (OP)
It still regularly sells out, it wasn't a mass produced device

>>717180816
The Deck can't pull 200w+ and make you sterile like a 4090 laptop

>>717173287
early to mid 2027

>>717180586
Switch 2 is also an infinitely shittier and more consumer hating device, what's your point. Marketing is king.

>>717173272
Why not get a Switch 2 and then wait for the LCD Steam Deck 2 in 2027? The best bang for your buck.

>>717171330 (OP)
It's too big. I don't see why anybody would get something that massive.
If it was the size of a Vita it'd have been amazing.

>>717180816
They have a bigger heatsink that allows for stronger hardware
That's literally all it has

>>717180942
Why get a Switch 2 at all when there are no games for it and then ones currently available suck hot ass?
I have an OG Switch and even that, during its entire life, had a dogshit catalog of games. Literally nothing worth fanboying over.

>>717180881
The new VR set, code named deckard is going to come out first.

>>717181001
You hold it on your lap not midair
Size and weight concedes on cooling

>>717181001
I don't get this complaint. It's the perfect size if you're an adult. I played it on the plane last week.

>>717174836
Only a vocal minority of paid Snoys and Xbots are hating it just like they're hating the Steam Deck. What praise they give it now will change once the expensive Rog Xbox Allys release and the PS6 handheld Canis releases in early 2028.

>>717176340
That's only half true, Sony and Microsoft never cared about gaming and it was only a side hustle. Those two bastards just gave up.

>>717180674
I don't know if valve wants to go that route. They wanted to spur competition so they could get steamos onto everything, basically making everything a steam device like xbox's wet dream.

>>717181118
Nintendo has become extremely hateable. This isn't a fanboy thing it's a basic level of dignity and principles thing.

>>717177526
This war is so stupid but caused by both tribal retarded Tendies and Deckies, it's going to get worse when the Xbots and Snoys enter.

>>717181068
2 more weeks!

>>717171330 (OP)
Because it's huge and costs $999.99 plus tip and I have nowhere to go to play it

>>717181262
they absolutely have to if gaben wants to live out his grand fantasy of fucking over microsoft
it's all about OEMs and they won't budge until he casts a shadow so big that the costs of windows licencing outweigh the costs of retards struggling with linux

>>717172664
So you can play nes games on the toilet. I mean id kill someone if someone's gave me a shitty toy like the deck. In 2025 ALL umpcs are superior as they have always been.

>>717181117
>It's the perfect size if you're an adult
If I'm going to be lugging around something that large just for playing games I'd rather get something more functional like a laptop.
It serves the same purpose in every single situation a steam deck would serve and has more utility.
It's not a "handheld", it's a tablet with a case.

>>717181526
oled and trackpads

>>717171330 (OP)
>bought one
>it was ok for what it was
>certain games block using it even though it can play them
>Linux bullshit pops up alot if you go outside of just playing steam approved games
>fine for playing emulators on the go and older titles
>battery life is dogshit
>still a solid portable PC
>would rather have a windows machine if they could figure out how to remove all of the bloatware and nail an attractive price point

its fun, but its enthusiast at best. i do know a guy who uses it as his main gaming PC but the amount of hoops he has to jump through just to play a friendslop title with us is insane. even a midtier gaming laptop would cost you like 200$ more than the high end steam deck model and would be worth it just to avoid all the headaches

>>717181490
soon, the models of the new handsets have already leaked.

>>717171330 (OP)
People wisened up after what happened to Artifact.

Valve are known scammers and frauds. They do not deserve your money for their consumer unfriendly practices.

>>717181563
I travel a ton, literally have been to each corner of the US. You're a retard. Resting a laptop on your lap and then holding onto a controller isn't comfortable. The UMPC formfactor exists specifically because holding the device in your hands makes the most sense.

>>717179001
Nintendo's home consoles had some ups and downs, it's why they changed up after the GameCube due to Sony and Microsoft destroying what made home consoles special. They were right to eventually drop it completely. I'll say Valve is making the right choice with the Steam Deck and it's in-development successor given that GPU prices are constantly going up and fuck Microsoft and Windows 11.

I want to buy one if I can get it cheap, just to run emulators portably. Might play metaphor and e33 on it so I dont have to wait for switch 2 ports

>>717181001
I want a screen I can read and a form factor that's actually comfortable. I could not care less about pocket portability, I don't need to run around with a gameboy in my pants.

>>717179067
They make really fun games with colorful characters. They and Valve bring the 80s/90s soul to gaming lost thanks to Sony and especially Microsoft.

>>717181813
Then you're the 0.01% edge-case the steam deck was made for. Congratulations anon

>>717179187
Yup, Deck was just an experiment for the Deck 2. That's going to be the real deal.

>phone
>work phone
>controllers

Yay another stupid thing I have to keep charged all the time

>>717182034
>I have no idea what a UMPC is
No, I'm the norm, you have autism and need to kill yourself

>>717180932
Then why didn't Valve market the Deck if it would improve sales?

>>717180302
So basically, like the faggots that shit on Nintendo and Switch/Switch 2, kek?

>>717182097
>>Uhh, no you're the one in the wrong
>D-Don't look at the lifetime steamdeck sales though

>>717182149
Non sequitur, you non white.

>>717181391
>it's going to get worse when the Xbots and Snoys enter.
Those two are dead. They'll come out like a wet fart.

>>717172839
Every gaming laptop I've ever owned sucked absolute ASS. And for some reason they had the worst drivers of any laptops on the market.

>>717181262
It's questionable how they're planning to do it, from just marketing or through retail sales. It's a possibility that Valve puts more into marketing but sticks with the direct to consumer approach but have more units available over how they did it with the first Steam Deck. I can see LCD as a guaranteed though given prices going up as OLED would be for the expensive model.

>>717171330 (OP)
i bought two, resold the first one for profit, those were the early days

>>717174163
You can't ask the average consoomer to install an OS themselves. The most you'll get is 5%, and that number goes off a cliff in the third world

>>717181349
If they were hated, they wouldn't be selling like crazy. People need to start checking themselves when they shit on Nintendo given their practices are lenient compared to Sony and Microsoft who do the same thing but worse. If these shills can call out Nintendo for it and not Microsoft or Sony for it then they have no room to talk.

>>717172839
This ironically

>>717180942
Bro, the Deck came out in 2022. Everyone who has one bought it years ago.

>>717182270
I can't wait to shit on both. Handheld gaming is Nintendo/Valve territory.

>>717174750
Don't slander Tharja like that

>>717182101
Because selling as many decks as the possibly could wasn't the goal. And valve doesn't advertise anything anymore, not even steam. They're not a hardware manufacturer, they've repeatedly sold out and it took AGES just to first get a deck.. Pushing steamos/proton and spurring competition so they could load that competition with steamos/proton was the goal. Maybe they'll try to pus hthe deck 2 harder now that steamos has matured, but it's avlve, they still probably won't market i or get it into any retailers.

>>717182307
then you're shit at choosing one
I've had three and they were all perfect
people who complain about gaming laptops are poors, retards who think they should still work after submerging in your cig smoke goon stank cave for years, or trolls
I do like the seethe recommending them causes, though

>>717172839
Laptop chad, I bought this. Did I do good or did I fuck up?

I love mine but haven't had the opportunity to use it outside yet. I just hate some of the plugins

>>717171330 (OP)
I have one and I personally know a guy who also has one

>>717171330 (OP)
My brother and I both have one and my brother never uses a pc. It still replaced his consoles.

>>717182138
Look up which console you can get in Brazil and get back to me.

>>717182656
>Lenovo
Do we tell him...

>>717183796
steam is a third world hub that's only good for selling skins to put food on the table

>>717183962
Look up which console you can get in Brazil and get back to me.

Not a fan or RedditDeck. If I wanted a handheld I'd just buy a Switch

>>717172925
because that money belongs to nintendo steamy vegan
Not giving nintendo your money should be literally illegal fr fr

>>717184006
you guys aren't playing on consoles in your flooded internet cafes my ESL friend

>>717183796
Brazil getting consoles is like pulling teeth with import fees wearing steel-toe boots. You're lucky if a PS5 shows up and doesn't cost the same as a used car. PC gaming popped off there because it's easier to upgrade a GPU over time than sell a kidney every gen cycle. Valve knew what they were doing pandering to that market, it's half the reason CS skins are a national economy now.

>>717183945
W-what?

>>717180343
>>717180745
Dont get me wrong I completely see the appeal but then its a luxury and not something I want to spend money on right now.

I cant afford the time off work (Workload permitting, not annual leave permitting) to go on camping trips at the moment, and I drive to work, so I wouldn't have chance to use it outside of the house.
>>717180448
If I leave the house, its usually for a task like work or shopping. Not to go sit somewhere for a few hours and play games.
Dont get me wrong, I wish it was the latter, but here we are.

>>717183796
>>717184006
It's always Snoys, isn't it?

>>717184130
You are the same color as my shit. Cope harder.

>>717184147
>Valve knew what they were doing pandering to that market,
We're talking about the steam deck specifically. Which valve isn't selling anywhere in South America.

>>717184406
I'm not the color of a steamdeck lil gup

>>717184324
>so I wouldn't have chance to use it outside of the house.
Most of my time spent using it is in my house.

>>717182614
Not him, but he's right. Cope.

>you don’t get it, I NEED to play video games no matter where I am

It’s called an addiction and you can get treatment for it

>>717184753
gtfo /v/ faggot

>Not worth buying it full price
>Non zero chance of a used one being previously owned by that fat faggot

>bought a steam deck
>upgraded to steam deck oled
>oled broke for no reason (steam button permantly active, even when disconnected from mobo), trying to fix it made it worse
>went back to lcd deck
>so much worse to the point I bought a second oled
anyway how do I image my old deck to my new deck? I had a lot of non-steam games on it and don't want to re-create the wine prefixes

>>717172839
Kys faggot

>>717186591
Set up syncthing on both devices and then set the prefix location to be synchronized.

>steam 'eck on hand
>pyjamas on
>laying on the sofa
>fire up PCSX2 and Jak 3

Yep, it's gaming time

>>717171330 (OP)
>Why did nobody buy it?
I did though. I'm using mine to play Fate/Stay Night, The Tsukihime remake, Rogue Trader, Fire Emblem Three Houses, and Persona atm

>>717176430
I played all the Mario games I did on PC with emulation ;)

>>717172839
True, nobody wants to have a "conversation" with a gibbering retard whose own shit is dribbling out of his mouth.

>>717182441
macroshart and snoy aren't even part of the discussion anymore

>>717187718
Why does he need to have a huge screen right in his face?

>>717172839
They hated him because he spoke the truth

I bought one because I like video games.

>>717171330 (OP)
too expensive where i live

>>717172839
Nah. Gaming laptops are pretty heavy to travel with and has poor battery performance when using unplugged. Also you will need a desk at very least to use it comfortably. Deck is much better for portable gaming and traveling. I'm going to visit my parents later this month for couple weeks and I literally don't want to take my Legion 5 Pro with me. Not only it's 2.5kg without a charger I won't even be able to play some games during my ~7-8 hour travel. I considering getting a deck just for this. In lightweight games it can go for 5+ hours.

>>717195380
which is better value for the price? My gaming laptop is dying and Im thinking about picking something up, but Im a cheapskate

funny how the same people who dismissed the switch portability as a pro, had to backpedal hard to shill the deck

Shane gillis bought one.

>>717196298
Simply price? Deck. The highest level is $650 (get the mid level and an SD card) compared to the Rog Ally X. I paid like $850 months ago for the Z1 Extreme 2 TB model. I could have paid less but oh well.
But some games play better on Rog than on Deck and vice versa.

>>717172839
I have both and you're retarded.
My gaming laptop has a shitty ips panel so I have to hook it up to an external display to get good visuals. Add kb+m and congrats you now have a scuffed desktop.
The cpu/gpu always hit temp limit and the fans are very loud when maxed. Whereas I can just play the steam oled like a normal handheld in my bed.

>>717172839
Look at all the seething replies lmao

>>717194258
Then why are you talking?

>switch conversation has died down and tendies need to ragebait to get attention
Sad!

If recording and exporting videos and pictures was easier for non-steam games, I would be playing on my Deck more than 4070 super PC. I like recording what I play and making webms but it gets kind of annoying doing it on the Deck all the time
