Explain why you bought a switch over a steamdeck

>>720058949 (OP)
Because you dont have to mess with trying to pirate stuff and get viruses, instability, etc.

I have both. I play Nintendo games on my switch, and everything else on my deck.
>b-but the deck cant run everythin-
If I'm out somewhere that requires I use either portable, chances are I don't need the extra horsepower to run "real" vidya, that's what my pc at home is for.

>>720058949 (OP)
it was 2019 and nothing better existed

>>720058949 (OP)
because the switch emulator on AMD CPUs has annoying graphical glitches.

>>720058949 (OP)
how do you get the trilogy to run properly on deck? I had to switch to the GC rom for primehack and that runs flawlessly, I try to run the trilogy and it drops to 40 fps and gets major slowdowns

>>720058949 (OP)
I have a pc

>>720058949 (OP)
Deck has zero games

>>720058949 (OP)
to play nintendo games with friends

I can understand buying a switch but why exactly would you pay so much for an inferior machine

>>720058949 (OP)
super mario games

>>720058949 (OP)
I have a PC

>>720066071
its just news articles anon

>>720058949 (OP)
Because I have 2 PC's and I know if I buy it it's just going to collect dust.

I'm not a computer vegan

>>720066215
top video still stutters, what's your point? they're both shit hardware for AAA games

>>720058949 (OP)
Steam doesn't sell monthly subscriptions, but Nintendo do, so I bought a Switch so I can buy subscriptions.

Why the fuck would you buy a Stram deck ever? You have a fucking PC. It's essentially a fucking laptop.

you'd have to be retarded to buy switch 2 with how little games it has and that the oled model is around the corner

>>720066383
>It's essentially a fucking laptop.
Actually it's a laptop with extra steps

>>720066215
Cool bro. Now show me your Switch running Noita, Megaquarium, Parkitect, Anno 1404, and Sim City 4 with mods.

>>720058949 (OP)
Switch has games. Steam deck is just another PC.

so I could pirate a lot of switch games without waiting for emulation

>>720066383
it's poorfag's first "gaming" laptop

>>720066519
>>720066383
Because we're not brown. You forgot to shill windows in your post, saar.

>>720066603
Oh shit is silent hill 2 on switch?

>>720066568
the switch 2 already outsold the deck's lifetime sales in a month
but surely everyone will sell their switch 2 and buy a deck tomorrow so they can play this masterpiece you just mentioned

>>720066665
Browns would shill Linux before they shill windows so I think you have it backwards.

>>720066668
It probably will be.
SH2 isn't on Xbox yet but as a rule going forward if it'll run on series s without being super cpu bound it'll run on Switch 2 without massive changes to the game(silent hill on pc is playable at 60 on literal decade+ mid range processors btw)

>>720066668
It's on PS2 and OG Xbox

>>720066728
Huh. Didn't know it got ported. Shame you have no mods.

>>720066983
>soon.....we hope.....
Lmao

>>720067070
you said the same about games like the witcher and doom never being on the switch 1
these current gen games will get ported to the switch 2 eventually, but they'll never be playable on the deck, unless you consider sub 20fps at the lowest settings playable

>>720067408
>unless you consider sub 20fps playable
You think doom on switch is playable so which is it?

>>720067495
runs better than any ps5 game on the deck
there's a reason why deck users only play old games and 2d or low poly indies

>>720067753
And how do those ps5 games run on switch 2?
Reminder cyberpunk runs better on deck than switch2

>>720066215
you bought a switch 2 to play star wars outlaws? seriously?

>>720068135
lol

>>720068210
bought a switch 2 to play exclusives not on the deck, plus multiplats with much better performance than the deck

>>720068254
What's that cucky?

>>720058949 (OP)
Explain why you didn't just run Sunshine with Moonlight since your desktop does all of it better.

>>720058949 (OP)
Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled online

>>720068254
>comparing regular night city to dogtown
totally not disingenuous

>>720068401
now show the deck's graphics and performance on that scene
you won't because it will put you in shame

>>720068485

>>720058949 (OP)
I'm not poor so I have both plus two PCs

>>720058949 (OP)
literally who gives a fuck about the steamie deck besides that decksnoy who posts his microdick on it

>get a deck

>>720066125
A Linux what? Toaster, microwave, home server, could be anything.

>>720058949 (OP)
Never got a Switch, I have a PC.

>>720065525
This has ironically been the case with one of my friends who has a Switch and then a Steamdeck. He pretty much just looked up guides on Youtube learning how to put roms and emulators on the Steam Deck and since he knows I have entire libraries of retro games all the way up to the PS3 it's been a fun team experience seeing what works, what doesn't an how well different emulators run games on the Steam Deck. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

>>720058949 (OP)
How do you have playtime tracking on a non steam game?

>>720069262
>he still hasn't bought the new Linux
Ngmi, me and sabrina carpenter have been playing super tux kart all week between our bone seshs

>estrogen deck
no thanks

>>720059963
if you get viruses youre actually retarded and should shoot yourself

>>720069441
>540 scaled
Yikes....also we already played that game 6 years ago.

Why should I bother with a deck instead of just buying a laptop?

>>720058949 (OP)
Didn't want to start over from a library of zero games.

>>720058949 (OP)
>mfw when another anons start using your photos

>>720070639
the absolute state of decksnoy
at least they can emulate uh....superior gamecube games i guess lmao

>>720070639
theres a million times more npcs displayed in the deck version than the switch version

>>720070447
A laptop would actually be better in this scenario, at least you'd have a second screen

>>720070859
The best laptop that I own is a cheap chink Lenovo that I used for A-Levels which is far weaker than my Steam Deck.
>>720069441
>>720066603
>>720066215
>stones in glass houses
Reminder that Deck has lossless scaling, which effectively renders your copes redundant.

>>720071203
Then buy a better laptop rather than a steam deck

>>720071203
Not a problem for my laptop

>buy a switch to play switch games
>buy a deck to play... uhh...

>>720071437
>buy something you'll never use
If I'm at home I'd rather use my PC or I would if MSI board weren't dogshit and if I'm outside long enough to justify a bringing a gaming device, the Steam Deck is easier to pick up and put down as needed.
>>720071513
Good for you.

>>720071810
Good for you.

>>720071786
literally everything from pre-2020

meanwhile switch only has mario intermission world and bananza

>>720071810
>Steam decks never need to be charged
>Laptops also weigh 10 tons
Incredible cope

>>720071895
2 > 0

>>720071895
>everything from pre-2020
No wonder it sold less than Vita

>>720071925
>deck charging
OLEDs can run for 3 hours when running AAA games, plus you can plug in external battery and massively extend the runtime.
>laptop
You're not getting a laptop that's as efficient as the Steam Deck for 500 bucks.

>>720058949 (OP)
I bought both, and a Switch 2. PS5 and Xbox have no exclusives though, so I didn't bother with those.

>>720072117
PC has more good exclusives than all consoles combined. The Deck is a PC.
>>720072217
>wanting to play modernslop
enjoy star wars outcast at 610p 30fps on the shitch

>>720072723
Yet you're getting better value by spending more

>>720072874
Already have a PC. Thanks though.

>>720059963
Extremely low IQ take

>>720073234
Good for you. The Steam Deck is a niche device meant for gamers who want to their games to go places.
>>720059963
>viruses in 25+2000

>>720068327
Neat, I'll be here playing actually good games

>>720058949 (OP)
because I have 500 digital games in my steam library. Does Nintendo still fuck over people who had digital copies of games during the previous. They could easily let you still own the games you had during the wiiu or switch one if they weren't greedy.

>>720073429
Glad you enjoy it.

>>720058949 (OP)
steam now tracks play time in non-steam games?

>>720058949 (OP)
Im straight

>>720066383
Brazillians can't afford a gaymin pee see, monitor, speakers, keyboard and accessories all at once. Why do that when they can save couch change for 6 years to buy a used Steam Deck at a flea market that was probably stolen by browns.

>>720058949 (OP)
I needed more so neither.

>>720058949 (OP)
Because the aggressive Steam Deck shilling online turns people away from wanting to be part of its community. How come you faggots haven't realized this?

>>720058949 (OP)
The only time to ever buy a console in the middle of the generation is it it has accrued a bunch of good exclusives.

Steam Deck has no exclusives and is underpowered at this point. I'll just wait for the Deck 2 in '28.
