I just think being able to install whatever I want on the Steam Deck is neat.

But then they wouldn't be consoles.

>>717302424
They can be with cfw. I can never go back to base DRM boxes

>>717302475
yeah they would? just give users the option to install whatever software they want. what's so hard about that? oh wait, then they wouldn't be able to squeeze more money out of you if you had things to play that we're free.

Part of what makes a console a console is a closed platform.

Horrible fucking slop, each and every single one of them. Also why do you want to go on roblox? That's for little children.

>if I pretend this is the only computer that exists I might be able to shill this UMPC so much that gaben will personally thank me

>>717302878
what makes a console a console is that it's something that just works. you can still have it all be closed off or whatever. but just let users install whatever applications they want, like they can on android smartphones.

Also who the fuck would play competitive shooters on a Steam Deck - aka a glorified portable 1050ti tablet? I have a PC for that slop.

Many such cases

>>717302904
It runs 90% of my Steam library. Meanwhile, I can use my desktop PC for Hitman and VR, while my PS3 plays MGS4.

>>717303335
i read it dumbass, you don't know what you're talking about.

>>717303160
>$500 for a second PC that plays keyboard games without needing a keyboard, is equivalent to a portable 1050ti with the best battery life on the market

>>717303512
I disagree.

>>717303594
Already have a PC. Thanks though.

>>717303259
Aren't most of those shooters mentioned played mainly with a controller on a console? Steam deck should be perfect for those kinds of games.

>>717303680

Even if you were playing with gyro, you'd most likely be playing on a shitty WiFi connection, which is awful in PvP. You should not get a Steam Deck if you don't own a PC.
>>717303839
>ps3
RPCS3 still sucks as a whole, especially on the Steam Deck.

>>717302293 (OP)
Is it worth trying to install old Yuzu builds on the Deck or does Ryujinx get the job done well enough? Emudeck doesn't install Yuzu anymore for you so I'm wondering if it's worth trying to setup.

>>717304176
The last Yuzu build should still work with Emudeck, but you'll have to find the appimage and put it in the right place manually. Ryujinx was also killed BTW.

Why are you retards like this. I plan to get a Switch 2 and eventually a Steam Deck 2 when it releases. Posts like this comes off as being too poor to own one or the other. This fight is stupid because you're pitting a console against a PC. If I get only a Switch 2, I'll miss out on PC exclusives. If I get only a Steam Deck 2, I'll miss out on Nintendo exclusives. I get both, I'll get everything.

>>717306278
keep saying it

>>717306278
Surely you don't pay the subscription fee for the right to play that same game?

If you can't play certain video games that's fine. After all you only play what's on PC because you're a PC vegan.

>first 10 minutes of a game
yep

Wish I could break my conditioned trauma with mine. I spent 3 weeks straight fighting with Linux,. Exe programs through bottles, emustastion, and emudeck because they wouldn't work right or at all. I just wanted to get rid of it, but no good alternatives ever came out so it sat on the floor. Now, it works better but I just don't want to even look at it.

>>717309834
Sounds like user error. Have you tried not being retarded?

Love me steam deck

Currently playing:
NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound
Mushihimesama
Donpachi
NG Sigma
FFIV 3D Remake (steam)
Dragons Dogma

It's an amazing little machine.

>>717308638
Not him, but Switch is for kids, Steam Deck is for adults. As an adult, should own both.

>>717310308
*you

I'm getting finger pain when holding mine so I can't play as much. To be fair though, I'm also getting insane elbow pain just sitting at my computer with my forearms on the arm rest so I think I'm just getting some form of early onset arthritis

>>717309834
that sucks man, linux is hard to learn. Personally, I use Lutris and once I learned how it works, I did everything through it. Valve fucked up in their advertising, it should have been advertised as strictly a computer enthusiast device. I guess it's fine and easy to use as long as you stay on the steam side, though.

>>717308638
Enjoy your fake racing game (with rubber-banding and designed for digital triggers), your gay little donkey kong game that runs like shit (you'll buy it again in 10 years just to play it at a locked 60 fps), and your wheelchair basketball game

Wow. You really owned us. Brb gonna go play Ragebound while you seethe

My steam deck has been crapping on my sd card lately. I keep getting write disk errors.

>>717310504
Look up cubital tunnel syndrome. Stop leaning on your elbow.

>>717310583
The SD card is likely dead.

>>717310308

>>717310542
Enjoy Ragebound, PC vegan!

>>717310731
>calls PC player with 100s of games on his PC a vegan
Okay. Lets guap. How many games do you have installed? Let's see it.

>>717310513
I figured that emudeck would just work out of the box, but that was dead wrong. Proton also just seems to work only when it decides it wants to and for no apparent reason.

biggest issue is any .exe run through proton cant find other files because it thinks its running in windows and not the linux file system, so solo emulators dont work because you cant find gamefiles to open on a windows 32 file archive that doesnt exist.

>>717310825
I have project zomboid installed and that's it. I also have some snes roms. Everything else is consoles.

>>717310731
>Already have a computer
Stop shitposting on /v/ and start playing some games then.

>>717302293 (OP)
Doesn't that apply to all PC handhelds?

>>717310858
I don't know about that, I do everything through retroarch on steam and it works awesome

Why would you buy a Steam Deck if you have a Desktop PC?

>>717313276
more comfy

>>717313276
For the same reason you would by a Switch over a home console. Why get something where you're stuck in one room to play it vs being able to take it with you anywhere, not needing to share, and even getting to play it on the can or in bed. Can't do that with a home console or desktop. Console/PC handhelds are truly comfy.

>>717302293 (OP)
I prefer my Odin Portal for emulation

>>717310602
Yeah thats probably it but i don't know how to work and be at my desk without it happening. I try to keep it just my forearms but movement and typing, my elbow coming down just naturally happens

>>717304046
I rest my case

>>717313276
Desktop in bedroom
Deck in living room/elsewhere in my house.
Sometimes I use it for watching my DVD rips too, more convenient than bringing my whole desktop out.

Is a Rog Ally X really that much of a jump over the Steam Deck or is it cope from people who paid through the nose

>>717313276

>>717314634
Mostly cope and Asus actually has marketers.

>>717314893
So STILL not worth for PS3 emulation?

>>717314634
It's cope, too thick and the battery dies fast.

>>717310287
Fuck yeah

Sengoku rance
Castlevania advance collection
Fallout 3
Castlevania 64
Vampire survivors

>>717302293 (OP)
Why should i buy this shit when my android phone can do the same thing and for heavy game i use my pc

>>717303025
Hes probably a Tendie (aka pedophile)

>>717314960
From what I heard a lot of the ps3 emulation issue is software immaturity.

>>717314984
>the battery dies fast.
I thought that was one of the direct improvements from the first Ally? From 40w battery to 80w or something right?

>>717314704
True, PC gaming is uncomfy as fuck

>>717303749
Yes trying to pick out targets on a tiny screen is the best way to play a competitive shooter. You never finished high school, did you?>>717303747

>>717310287
Burnout 2
Wipeout XL
F-zero gx
Ace combat 3
Vigilante 8

>>717315074
It's beyond perplexing to see people reccomend this shit for android right now

What do you think of the Retroid Pocket 5?

>>717315208
I run Atari 2600, NES, SNES, 3DS, PSP, GBA, and PS2 games on my android. Won't even bother with PS3 till they get the emulator actually working right.

>>717315294
Don't need one since I have an Odin 2 Mini

>>717302293 (OP)
Why is it always Nintendo shit?
Everyone wants to emulate Nintendo games instead of, say, PSP games.

>>717315335
I see CCers make videos saying 'check out me running Halo on Rocknix at 5fps, very cool' and it's like yeah, I'll check back in 5 fucking years

Good evening saros

>>717315064
You're thinking of ecker, the child sex trafficking steamdeck fanboy who posts on /v/

>>717315392
Funny you say that, people are all in on N64 ports on Vita now for some reason

>>717315402
Me too, it's ridiculous. I got a BackBone One for my S23U. I think actually use it more than Deck if I'm honest. Currently playing through MH 4U.

>>717315610
For some reason phone emulation is better than it is for the android emulation devices, too bad I can'tb e bothered ever taking my S23U out of the cover to use with a backbone

>>717315738
Your cover might fit. Mine came with two adaptors. One set for a naked phone and the other for case. I usually just pop mine out of the case since it just slips on.

>>717315392
Nintendo shit is overrepresented on youtube and the administration of a lot of websites.
Also there's something to be said for Dolphin being one of the most polished emulators there is and for the longest time being the go to for emulating 6th gen games.

>>717315812
Ah it's not a case it's a full on leather flap one, I was going to get a Mous case, yeah it's expensive but I heard the hype where they throw that shit off a building and it still works is real but I just knew I'd drop my phone on an uneven surface where the fron will get cracked so I pussied out

Guys I have a RP Mini and a 405M someone stop me ordering the 477M PLEASE

>>717315610
I still am yet to find a solid replacement for the 3DS for emulation besides a hacked 3DS itself, there's the new Ayaneo dual screen but I'm not mega rich and the Fold phones which again, I'm not rich

>>717314605
>desktop in bedroom
what are you fucking 12? You don't own a house with an office? You like blowing shitty dusty air where you sleep? Why not game in the garage??
