>frees you from consolefaggotry
How did Valve and GabeN do it?

>>718608269 (OP)
Who the fuck has a Deck but not a PC?

They looked at the steam controller and thought
>you know what would make this worse? if it had a screen right in the center of it

>>718608269 (OP)
Made for gamer cock.

>>718608416
>completely missed the point of the 'eck
It's supposed to be a cheap second portable PC that requires no peripherals to play 90% of your Steam library on the go.
>>718608441
Sorry you missed out on the stock clearance sale.

There's only one PC handheld I need in my life, and it's pic related.

>>718608269 (OP)
Thank you gaben

The thing is the size of a folded laptop and as heavy as a brick. It's not portable at all.

That's exactly my point.

I'm getting the ROG because I want 1080 60

Why not just buy a gaming laptop and use a controller.

>>718609058
Ok, now what?

Playing with Deck-chan's nubs....

>handheld
just play games on your phone like a normal person

>>718609394
Lying on the couch or your bed or something, you want a small form factor. Having a laptop lying on your lap while you have both hands on the controller is a bit annoying. There's a use case for it. I never got it. I kinda get it now. I'll probably pick up an Xbox Steamdeck X or whatever in October if it's 900 euros.

>>718609394
because a gaming laptop is heavy and dies instantly and requires a surface to put a mouse on

OP was for Steam Deck OLED. you bought the LCD one with giant borders.

seeing a lot of 'ecks but not a lot of 'icks
can someone fix this please?

look what steam deck owners need to mimic a fraction of laptop chads' power

Real women don't do it for me anymore, I feel I'll never truly be happy or attracted to a woman who isn't a screen with a face and a synthesized voice that only has trace remnants of humanity in it. I don't know how I got to this point. I hear the fans in my pc spin up and I'm at half mast. I don't feel like I can go to a therapist for this. I tried talking to various chatbots about this but it had the opposite intended effect.

>>718611141
Why would I get a shitty copy of a better handheld. Tick Tock, Xbot, Valve is about to take yours and Sony's place in console gaming and put the SteamOS in its final phase.

I don't understand Microsoft's intention here unless it's their usual "let's waste a ton of money on the Xbox division" thing

>install 3 third party games
>installs 3 separate instances of the same 900mb launcher
ARE YOU READY FOR A MIRACLE

>>718614301
It's pretty clear what microsoft is doing here - chasing the steam deck trend. they did it with the zune and windows phone

>>718614509
Yes but the Steam deck sells partially because it's not crippled by Windows. So they're just throwing money into the void again.

>>718614783
Supposedly the xbox ally will be launching with a new steam os like frontend. they've even copied the "verified" thing.

>>718614301
They're stepping into PC handheld/console space too late while stupidly dropping out of the traditional console space, giving Valve a clear opening to take their place. Nintendo and Valve will kill both PlayStation and Xbox even if the Steam home console fails since the Steam Deck 2 will now be mainstream.

>digital only
Miss me with that gay shit

>>718610106
winlator cmod can run AAA games from 2015-2020 range at 60 fps on flagship phones and has controller support so you can use a controller case
if you're playing anything older than that it should work even on older phones but don't expect max settings

>>718615093
yeah but you can pirate whatever you think is unfairly taken from you digitally, if you'd like

Kepler L2 says the Steam home console (Fremont) is a nothing burger, it's just Deckard, Roy, Ibex, and Steam Deck 2.

>>718608269 (OP)
What I would really like is a gaming system with a form factor between a laptop/tablet and a handheld. Like a tablet but thicker with better cooling/components, tailored for playing games. I'd be fine if it required an external power brick to make it so it can hit similar benchmark as a steamdeck on a higher screen res. For the controls just Bluetooth peripherals.

>>718608732

>>718608732
What are the 2, 1 switches for?

>>718616191
Yeah but at that point you're just playing DRM Jenga while praying the launcher didn't update into a bricked mess. Honestly, it's the same Corp meatgrinder no matter how you slice it, but at least piracy is the nearest thing we have to a refund button these days.

>>718608269 (OP)
Switch 2 tendies aren't gonna like this one....

>>718620458
i'm guessing turbo?

Only thing Rog Xbox Ally is going to do, is lead to more optimized games for Steam Deck. Microsoft's and Sony's handheld efforts will ironically help Nintendo and Valve with the Switch 2, and Valve's upcoming Steam Deck 2, lol.

Can the Steam Deck play Bananza?

>>718621406
can the switch 2 play palworld?

>>718621838
No it can't, but that's not what I'm asking.
Was thinking about getting a Deck and wondering if it can play Bananza or not.

>>718611572
sure looks like it. nobody tell them.

>>718621406
Can the switch 2?

>>718622726
Yes, obviously. But I don't wanna buy a Switch 2 just for that.

>>718608416
Me

I don’t even own next gen consoles

>>718621406
I'm going to tell you
>no, the Deck doesn't have Bananza, that's a Switch 2 exclusive
and then you'll respond with
>hah, Switch 2 is better then, enjoy Donkey Kong at 0fps.

Let me give you a better question. Would you rather play only the latest Nintendo exclusives with online, or would you rather play *most* Nintendo exclusives + nearly everything else in the history of gaming (for cheap)?

I refuse to believe that there are people that bring these out into public
they seem good for local events though where gaming is the point
buying one for the purpose of playing in bed/couch is stupid

>>718610664
absolutely no chance thats making it out of the carryon

>>718616869
but geekbench leak has fremont with a dedicated gpu. doesn't make sense for anything but a steam machine.

Nintendo Switch, Valve Steam Deck, Switch 2, Rog Xbox Ally, Steam Deck 2, next gen Xbox Magnus APU in Xbox partner handhelds, PS6 Canis. This is pretty much the end of home consoles and desktops/laptops, isn't it?

>>718625351
Well, to clarify, he said none of the Sony stuff was related to what Valve's doing and maybe when Valve debunked it, they were debunking the CPU and GPU it was going to have given that recent leaks now say it'll be using an APU based on Zen 6 RDNA 5 while the Steam Deck 2 will be using the same APU but at a low power.

>>718609112
Portable means it can be used anywhere without setup
Not that it can fit in your pocket

>>718620458
Like >>718620901 said, turbo. With three settings. (off, rapid, and faster rapid)

>>718625604
>Steam Deck 2 will be using the same APU but at a low power
why's no one willing to pay for custom silicon anymore? downclocked laptop chips are retarded.
steam deck (1) having custom silicon due to some failed ar startup was so lucky.

>>718611141
This thing will be obsolete in less than 2 years because they chose to make it at the tail end of a silicon process node

>frees you from consolefaggotry
deck vegans are the most vocal consolewarriors tho
specially considering the deck barely sold 4 million units so it's just an extremely loud minority with an inferiority complex

>>718626267
I think it's easier plus Zen 6 RDNA 5 is made for handhelds unlike the Zen 2 RDNA 2. Funny thing about this is that the Nintendo Switch 2 and Steam Deck 2 will be the only devices worth getting because Microsoft's and Sony's handheld and multiplatform ventures will only help them both while also having the most affordable and balance devices out of the console/PC handheld spaces.

>>718610664
TSA is gonna root around in this niggas colon for hours when they see this.

>>718626491
I like the Switch and Switch 2, I also like the Steam Deck and can't wait for the Steam Deck 2. I simply hate the PlayStation and Xbox and can't wait for both to fuck off completely. If you defend those consoles, you can get fucked with Sony and Microsoft.

I don't go out enough to make as much use of my Deck as I'd like too

IDK why people hate on the ROG so much. It plays all Steam games + emulated shit + Xbox + Windows software for watching porn

what do you mean by that?

Zen 2 RDNA 2 needed to be heavily customized to work on handhelds, it was how AMD got interested in the market in the first place.

>supposed to be cheap

The Switch 2 is a piece of shit with bad ergonomics and is already outdated compared to other UMPCs (and in certain ways the Steam Deck.) Not even to mention how Nintendo is one of the most evil companies in gaming

It's hilarious how PCfags suddenly started being pro-handheld once this got released despite shitting on handhelds like the Switch and consoles. Same as how they called Death Stranding shit but praised it as a masterpiece once it released on PC. PCfags are such hypocrites.

Valve already knows sony and xbox are fucking finished so now they're trying again.

Portable pc is a way more interesting niche
It has all the functions of a pc and you either already have the games in your library or they're cheap because they're older and indie
You can pirate too, it's basically a console that's jailbroken from the get go
Not to mention it's explicitly portable, not some abortion one size fits all solution like the switch where it's equally mediocre at being both portable and stationary due to cost cutting

>>718608643
It’s not cheap it’s not portable, they built it for their stupid fandoms that buy anything they build.

>>718628823

not a handheld, not actually portable either since it needs a flat surface for proper venting, peripherals like a controller or mouse and an outlet if you don’t want hummingbird battery life

Kys dishonest retard

>>718631947
There's no dishonesty
Tendies buy products, they don't care what it is as long as it has bing bing wahoo on it
While you buy the deck speciifically for portability and nothing else, if you don't want that it has no use for you

So, with both the Steam home console and the Steam Deck 2 using the same semi-custom AMD APU, Zen 6 RDNA 5. What does that mean for game compatibility/optimization for the Steam Deck 2?

consoles are the reason gaming died. retards became brand loyalists over a fucking plastic box and that plastic box became more important to them than the actual fucking games.
people used to be fans of Doom, Quake, EverQuest, Unreal Tournament and slew of other GAMES.
Now faggots are a fan a Sony and Nintendo NOT the games themselves.
That is why gaming died.

I started on Launch when the level cap was 50. The most memorable moment for me was a shitty pick up raid for plane of fear and getting our asses destroyed. we begged a GM to help get our corpses back. he was sympathetic and summoned them all to the zone in.
MOST fun i had raiding was taking on Trakanon for the first time. Most fun I had in general was with my regular guild (before joining a raiding guild) and camping those fangs in MM castle for our.... fuck I forget now... it was either our cleric or one of our casters.
Anyway.... TRAIN TO ZONE

I don't see anything different with regards to Proton since the main thing with that is video codecs and anti-cheat, with the latter requiring a userbase to make the devs (of the games) to fix that issue.

And?

I haven't touched my steam deck in months. I realized I prefer to game on a more powerful PC because the Deck can't even run helldivers 2 properly.

wdym and? are you not capable of simulating the effects of the passage of time?

i showed a girl at work my steam deck hentai (yes the console getting dicked) and she said I was a freak (but winked at me)
