sell me this pen

>>720246419 (OP)
you can play reccetear and ghost trick on it on the go.

Shitted and flopped

I just set up emudeck on mine the other day and I've been in love ever since bros

>>720246494
that is a fair point but what other games can i play?

>>720246419 (OP)
Lol you would be much better off purchasing a Nintendo Switch 2.

>>720246678
but it doesn't have any exclusive games

>>720246419 (OP)
It's a nice emulation device but it's also a handheld PC that you can dock to a bigger screen if you want, and because it's a PC it can do PC stuff (browse and play stuff that never made it to consoles) and if you have a decent PC already you can also stream if you just want to play something stronger in bed. It depends on how much you want the handheld experience
Because Linux is Linux not every game works but I'm pretty sure most of them do

>>720246678
Shut up, Snoy

>>720246419 (OP)
Are you in the market for a handheld?

I kinda want the oled one but the refurbished are always sold out.
>>720246984
Can I do spreadsheets on it?

>>720246419 (OP)
You can play anything that it can run.
What else is there to say.

>>720246678
the screen is terrible though? why would I want that in a handheld

>>720246419 (OP)
If you have a phone and a PC just use sunshine/moonlight and buy a controller

what's the best game to play on this during a thunderstorm while you're snug in bed

>set resolution to 1280x800 in game
>still appears with black box around it and have to use the scaling options to get it to full screen
why does it do this

>>720246816
Yes it has exclusive Nintendo games

>>720246419 (OP)
you can play your gaems on the train or while waiting in line at the Wallgreens to pick up your estrogen.

>>720249431
rather just be on my phone

>>720246647
you can additionally play bomb rush cyberfunk on this device.

>>720249314
you play them all on pc

>>720247221
This, but I touch mine every day. I'm touching it right now.

Nearly your entire PC library whenever wherever you want with instant sleep/resume, it's a godsend and the ultimate backlog killer.

It's the only system that allows for keyboard heavy games to be played on the go.

Check screen settings and change resolution to "Native."
You're welcome.

you can file your tax returns on it with the Firefox Application.
You can write books in Kate.
You can listen to audiobooks with Haruna.
You can be productive and do your work with the plethora of apps in the Discovery™ Store

>>720246642
It's so fuckin nice dude, literally what I always dreamed of in a gaming device as a kid

>>720246419 (OP)
It's good.

>>720246494
Doesn't reccetear have really bad audio syncing issues? They might have been fixed by now but that's why I haven't played it yet.

Good for some emulators and older games pre 2014 with some indies. Not good for anything else really. It's very underpowered even the base deck LCD is really underpowered.

If you want a cheaper handheld just got an ROG ally z1 extreme it has 1080p and VRR. Bigger screen and you can get 60fps in elden ring by turning it down to 900p. Deck can't even play elden ring above 35-38fps at 800p

>t. owned a steam deck OLED and sold it

Yea I wasn't impressed with this thing. I think deck 2 will be good though. Trackpads arent as big of a requirement as you may think.

>>720253101
I finished it on Mint and it was fine. I'd assume it's fine on the Deck. A lot more games used to have problems, but Proton has gotten crazy good since 9.

Do you want an obsolete laptop that can't run any modern 3d game?
then the deck is perfect for you

>>720246419 (OP)
MAN
THAT'S NOT A PEN
THAT IS A STEAM DECK
I THREW IT ON THE GROUND

>>720255012
That's exactly what I want, thank you tendie-kun.

>>720246419 (OP)
fuck off. it's not our job to convince your stupid ass of anything. rope yourself.

>>720246678
how do i install steam on a switch 2?

>>720256474
>spend hours tweaking
says who? I installed it in 5 minutes and was up and running with no tweaking at all.
do you even have a clue what you're talking about?

>>720256538
let's not pretend the deck experience with every single modern 3d game doesn't consist of using mods and editing config files to push graphics below the lowest settings to be able to reach 30fps

When will tendies learn?
Will they ever?

>>720246419 (OP)
If you play games on PC, want to play games portably, and don't want to buy every game you own again so that you can play them portably, it's the best solution.

>>720256810
I have 500 steam games, countless game roms for PSP, 3DS, GBA, NES, SNES, PS2, PS1, and Atari. I run tons of different controllers. All on Linux, the most "tweaking" I have had to do was setting up the emulators and picking a version of proton to run.
The only games that I can't run are AAA slop with kernel level anticheats, and I don't bother playing those anyway.
So, yeah, the tranny doesn't know what it's talking about.
The outright lying and gas-lighting on this board is legendary.

Oh no, the Deck gave me the freedom to make my games run better, how terrible. Now let's see the Switch 2 play them at a silky smooth 0fps after working so hard all these years impotently seething over the Deck's mere existence.

>>720257074
>spend half a thousand dollars on a deck

>buy the newest nintendo toy
>any generic phone can play more nintendo games
tendies are the single most fucked over customer base
no one else pays to have a worse experience

>>720246419 (OP)
It's good. Definitely get it if you don't have anything else that plays steam games. If you already have a PC, get it if you want something portable, as a sidecar.

>>720246647
Anything made before 2020 (aka everything worth playing)

>>720257414
All those games are playable on any PC he has access to, tendie. You don't have to buy a single game on the Deck, your library is there the second you boot it up for the very first time.
I know that's difficult to grasp with how hard Nintendo reams their consumers. You poor bastard, you just don't know any better.

>deck is $550
>it can only run 2d indie tranny shit and games from previous generations
no wonder the switch 2 outsold deck's entirely in like 1 week

>>720246647
Basically the only thing you can't play is kernel level anti-cheat cancer.

>>720258149
You're being too obvious now. Poe's law maybe, but shouldn't be relied on.

>>720257414
you buy it for the form factor, it's a secondary system, not a primary like for you tendies
and it has a fraction of the functionality and can only play games for nonverbal children and some shitty cut down ports which you pay a premium for because no one thinks running slop at 30fps is playable
nintendo switch 2 is objectively shit as a piece of hardware, an ips that ghosts like a shitty va panel and a puny 20wh battery are just pathetic

>PS5 as main console
>Switch for tendie stuff
>Deck for emulation and anything I can't get on the other systems
Feels good man
>But you could have gotten a PC!
I know but i'm a console boy and always have been

>>720258149
it's amusing how you tendies permanently ruined your reputation and established yourself as the board's top seethers so you can gloat about your toy marginally beating valve for one silicon generation

>>720258157
>kernel level anti-cheat cancer
You can actually play most of these, just not the ones where devs specifically blocked Linux aka most Epic exclusives.

>>720246419 (OP)
What's your use case? I'm serious. People who travel a lot it's better than a gaming laptop with the dock and a controller. If you're just sitting at home and too lazy to turn on your computer maybe not so much? If you have a giga rig at home and stream to your ick eck it's actually fucking great unless you have a shit network at home, which you probably wont if you're getting a linux portable pc for vidya.

>>720255012
>nu-star wars trash

>>720255012
want to talk about obsolete when nintendo consoles become worthless with emulation?

>>720258905
They'll have to kneel eventually as linux gradually keeps gaining ground

I'M NOT A PART OF YOUR SYSTEM
MY PEN IS NOT A DECK
DUH

>>720246419 (OP)
just play on your tablet with a controller

>>720259576
totk runs at stable 60fps on the switch 2
meanwhile on the deck, it can get really rough

>>720261819
It only took you years to catch up to emulation on desktop
Also you're an enormous retard who doesn't understand what emulation overhead is

>>720250561
I heard people saying the sleep function was kinda shit

>>720256810
>let's not pretend the deck experience with every single modern 3d game
games that run notoriously shitty on PC also run notoriously shitty on a steam deck. before everything went to shit, modern games ran fine on the 'eck. a huge chunk of my elden ring playtime was spent on the 'eck.

>>720262634
It's very good in my experience.

>>720262634
It isn't, it's awesome. It's instant and works great.
The only thing you'd have to watch out for is battery drain. You can't just suspend at under 5% battery and leave it for a whole day unplugged and expect it to come back on. It's sleep, not hibernate, it's still using a bit of power so you can come back exactly where you left off.

>>720262634
it's literally one of the strongest points of the device besides the controller configuration/integration and adjustable refresh rate

>>720246419 (OP)
Buy this pen or ill kill you with it

>>720262814
>>720263052
>>720263325
So did the tendies lie to me or are you niggas deck worshipers?

>>720265073
somebody lied to you unless it was back when the deck had just first launched and there was a bug where returning from suspend sometimes caused audio crackling

>>720265073
I'm curious what you think.

>>720261416
all good until the laptop falls on the water and kills you

>>720265283
No, the tendies said it took fifteen (15) seconds to resume playing after putting it to sleep

>>720265841
More like half a second, they're bullshitting hard.

Valve themselves can’t even sell it how is some dude on /v/ gonna?

>>720266158
Imagine if Valve actually tried to.

>>720265841
>>720266091
I wouldn't say half a second, but it takes like 3 max

>>720265589
Idk anymore
I remember a deckie showing a tendie a video of a steam deck running one of the Zelda games (can't remember which) as a proof that the deck could play nintendo titles better
So I check the comments right and one guy said "goddamn 90°? And look at that fan speed. How did it feel playing it?"
And the creator responded with "it feel like heatwave haha"
So it kinda makes all those deckie claims about how the deck plays them better bullshit. Cause what's the point of playing with a jet engine blasting from the console while the console gets hot like an oven?

>>720266274
They did, they’ve been paying gaming news to shill it for awhile now, Hell Linus and that one Indian won’t shut up about it

>>720246419 (OP)
I can't, it's inferior to the PS Portal in every way, just like PC is inferior to the PS5.

>>720268271
right...

well, enjoy your streaming tablet

>>720267659
That sounds ancient. OLED doesn'thave that problem and Valve fixed the fan curves on the LCD.

I can't :(

Why are these threads so fucking pathetic. It’s clear that they are being funded by a Venture Capital. There are better products than both the steam deck and the switch 2 but it seems like those are the only systems they want to sell. DOA trash

>>720257414
>play any modern games
That's your problem.

>>720270190
Name those better products

Why not just get a laptop like a non-retard?

Because steamdeck is superior white boys

>>720257414
>>720261819
who's going to tell xer?

>>720270406
Rog Ally X, Legion Go is slept on. UMPCs in general are good and could satisfy most gamers. I think UMPCs are perfect for students or people traveling and APUs are great for mobile systems if you don’t want to gimp yourself with a ARM. Anyway, a UMPC, that can double as a tablet, laptop or desktop and run nearly every single program in the last 30 years does sound very appealing. It would suffice the need for tablets and make dogshit cellphone operating systems obsolete. Chromebooks are pure cancer, UMPCs are a full working OS and can run windows or virtually any OS you want.
Any handheld that natively uses android is worthless and cheap temu tier shit. Analog products are also worthless and overpriced but I wouldn’t sleep on Raspberry Pi stuff or Mister if you like old school games.
Steam Decks were dated on release. It has a max setting of 4 Gbs of VRAM. It doesn’t have Thunder, people have had trouble with HDMI with it. It wasn’t until I switched to windows did things start working. The deck not coming with windows was for Valve to save money, bro. Trust me, you’re supposed to put windows on it. Microshit MIGHT make their bloated piece of shit better for mobile electronics eventually. Hopefully.

Is the deck the most blatantly shilled product ever on /v/?

>>720271691
I was talking about the Analog Pocket and whatever stupid piece of shit they have. Buy a mister, never buy from analog

>>720271731
Unless we're counting the years of paid for antishilling, which has probably inadvertantly informed people of how good of a product it is and moved more systems barring the several months of antishilling when you couldn't even buy one.
No, not even remotely close.

>>720271691
Legion Go took over a year to get working thermal settings and then Lenovo basically dropped development to work on the next one. The native portrait screen caused too many issues in the long run. Docks mostly don't work with it either due to the terrible heat management. Rog Ally X might be worth it though.

You can emulate everything below 6th gen, and play some PC games, and the best thing? It's on the go.

>>720272049
Ok, and why do I need to pay $500 to do that and do you mean 6th gen and below or below 6th gen. What if I wanted to play 7th gen. Can I get a smooth frame rate playing games like GTAIV?

>>720262075
>>720271379
Anytime someone uses Lossless Scaling's (or really any) frame gen as an excuse for low frame rates I know they are a knuckle-dragging retarded console faggot. Frame gen is in no way a bandaid for bad performance. You need at least a stable +60fps for frame gen to not completely skullfuck your game with latency and artifacts. These handheld PCs do not benefit 99% of the time from frame gen unless it's an older, easier to run game that is already reaching a playable, stable frame rate.

>>720272173
I mean up until they pulled the original version of GTA4 it worked great on the Steam deck.
GTAV also ran pretty well up until they added a
>intentionally ban linux players for no raisin
Update.
Debatably it still runs well, since it's designed to sperg out if you're playing on linux.

>>720272027
The Ally X can actually play Cs2, unlike the Deck. Steamers are fanboys and only want one of Valves immediate obsolete products. They are worse than Apple fags.
Before a steamer says something about playing Cs2 on a handheld. I would dock it, simple as. I move a lot. I don’t want to lug around a titanium PC case.

>>720272340
Works on my machine (GTAO, Rainbow Six Siege, Destiny 2, Fortnite, PUBG, Battlefield 1, Call of Duty BO6)
Also, let me get this straight, you can play Diablo IV but not COD? And you think that’s somehow a victory, you think any shit game in the last 10 years is a victory except COD? lol
lmao even

>>720272320
Considering it's in response to tendie shitposting when tendies were fellating and gloating over DLSS in the S2, it's more than appropriate here.

>>720272691
I'm gonna be honest none of those games sound remotely interesting to me.
Also me personally I only liked diable 1 & 2.

>>720272775
Project diablo 2 introducing gamepad support is pretty nice for deck. I've been enjoying season 11 handheld

>>720272923
I suppose, it's got track pads and gyro, so it was never an issue for me to click on shit.

>>720272775
Every time. The logic of the steamer far exceeds any of ancient greeks best philosophers or today’s greatest mathematicians. Euler would blush at the steam fanboys suggestion to use an abacus over one of Texes Instruments products.

>>720273073
fuck me, that was ESL. I’m going to bed

>>720273028
I personally never liked the trackpads for diablo even if you can bind dpad and joysticks to specific hotkeys to do things like chug potions or open menus, so the new gamepad support is just very welcome. Especially with how hectic endgame can be where touchpad just doesn't cut it

>>720272691
>>720273073
>it's the steamie deckers fault that shit publishers are intentionally blocking their shit games from linux
Not being able to play EOMM dogshit that is modern COD is a bonus of the 'eck

Can the deck play gtaV elden ring, mgsV, rdr2 at 60fps and at least 800p?

>>720273262
Yes to gta5 and mgs5. Compromises for the others. For mgs5 I modded it with infinite heaven. It's pretty good.

>>720273260
I already said this, but Valve putting linux on it was to save money and probably battery life. They don’t want to buy into a contract for OEMs. You do realize Linux is free free, right? I’m talking completely free. As in businesses can create a product from it. They’re playing the long game.

>>720273498
It's more to do with it being better than windows and microcock wanting to do what apple does and scraping fees on literally EVERYTHING they can purchased on Apple devices.

>>720273260
What if I told you it could? Would you still suck off Gabe?

>>720257873
>>720258157
There are going to be older stuff that's difficult if not impossible, plus games that relied on gimmick accessories.

If your handheld is going to be tethered to a brick and sound like a hair dryer, why not just get a gaming laptop?

>>720273568
It’s a UMPC and 99.99% of programs are made for Windows. It CAN run windows. If you weren’t such a techlet, you’d dualboot it. No REAL linux user lives on linux alone. It’s like what jesus said, Matthew 4:4 “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

>>720274034
well, i do open every deck thread i see because i like mine and love linux itself a lot, so i have probably made similar messages in a lot of threads

Sorry but you're retarded if you're getting this. It's just too early for this tech. These devices are basically ergonomic laptops. Except you lose a properly sized screen, keyboard, and Windows compatibility, and you gain all the weight that you now need to hold with your weak gamer arms.

For games that deserve a sit down, get yourself a PC or console. For on the go retro get a chinkheld, and for in the go modern a Switch Lite.

>>720274064
You’re a bot

>>720262634
It's the exact opposite, at release it was a bit iffy but Volvo managed to fix that a few weeks after and now it might be the best "sleep" I've seen on any x86/64 device, it also pushed Linux sleep into also not being complete shit so thats a nice bonus

Ehhh I can live with that
Should I go for the normal model or the oled one?
I only have enough money for the normal one but I could rob another 7-eleven to get the extra money if its really worth it

>>720275562
Oled has better battery but I've been happy with my LCD brick for 2 years now. I bought the cheapest version and replaced the ssd with a 1tb one from amazon. Still ended up cheaper than the 256gb model

>>720275562
oled is a straight upgrade, but its not so much of a difference that lcd isn't still fine. biggest thing to me is that the monitor supports 90hz but it also has slightly faster components and has support for newer wifi standards

>>720275562
oled has a 90hz screen instead of 60hz, a 50 w/h batter instead of 40 and the wifi and charge speed are way faster

also it has oled (obviously) and the bezels aren't fucking retardedly huge. I'd say it's worth it, but only for the mid model. paying extra for the etched glass and 1tb storage isn't worth imo

>>720274571

More like 90 at max

lots of seething itt

>>720275562
Go for OLED one, the battery is waaay better

Literally the only thing it's missing is native Game Pass and not having to fuck around with the bnet app.

It's a laptop replacement that can actually be used with just your own two hands and no environmental support not to mention it's an actual x86 pc
That's the whole fucking point
You're not getting a better GPU and an oled in that price range in a laptop either

Are you seriously asking?

>>720281805
anon this guy thinks playing a game on your iphone and a portable console is the same thing, he's too retarded to reason with

Probably for the same reason it upsets you so much, it shits all over the garbage that you like.

>>720281805
>freedom and ergonomics?
What the fuck does this mean? In which situation would you ever be in where you can't place a laptop on a tiny flat surface?

>>720274034
Ironic coming from the guy being assblasted over the fact that the most popular PC handheld not running Windows and does it well.

>>720282638
Most of the time? You're not going to have access to flat surfaces or want to take them up unless you want to sit at a dining chair and the setup is annoying as well
Mouse too retard, you're not playing games on just the keyboard
And no, you're not putting a laptop that's actually running games on your lap either

>>720274845

Give me some examples,

show me a laptop for the same price as the steam deck with an oled screen that is worth the same price

>>720283571
Any time you can't or don't want to drag furniture over so you can put a laptop on it or don't want to bother with the setup?
Do you have monopolistic access to every single table in your vicinity?

>>720274571
GTA V runs 60fps before the update, MGSV runs 60fps max settings but that games literal magic optimization wise. RDR2 and Elden Ring are 30fps only.

I got rid of my original deck because the screen was so shit. Is the OLED a huge improvement? Also is there a good dock for the deck now? The official dock was pretty shitty as well

>>720283782
Name some examples in a situation you've been recently when you wanted to play a game and had zero access to some flat surface

>>720284313
When I'm outside
or in my car
or over at someone else's house and I'm not socially stunted enough to requisition a table
Or at home where I don't want to drag a table over because I'm not its sole user
Or in bed or taking a shit or I don't want to stare at my monitor
None of those situations are conducive to dragging a laptop around

>>720284535
Why would you play a deck when driving a car?
How the fuck don't you have access to a table or anything at a friend? Are you retarded?
If you're at home you should have plenty of surfaces.
At the bed you should have a bedside table you can use for a laptop.

You are seriously not making any good points here, and this was the BEST you could come up with. You need to try harder to sell me on a shit deck, Ranjit.

>>720284659
Depends on which way you sway. Lying back against the couch vs hunching towards the coffee table.

>>720284850
That's what the phone is for anon

>>720284659
>Why would you play a deck when driving a car?
because you're not always the driver or actually moving while in a car?
>How the fuck don't you have access to a table or anything at a friend? Are you retarded?
i was kidding about you being socially stunted but you really went with that angle
do you really not see the difference in social awkwardness and convenience between reclining on the couch with the 'eck in hand and setting up your laptop and taking up their space?
>If you're at home you should have plenty of surfaces.
if i'm at home the last thing i want to use is a fucking laptop, i have a desktop already
why would i want to squat in the living room or in the kitchen with a laptop when it's much easier to just recline on the couch with the 'eck if i wanted it?
>At the bed you should have a bedside table you can use for a laptop.
same as above, that's also a retarded use case, i'm not sitting there hunched over doing that shit when i have a dedicated setup for doing that at home

>>720285462
>because you're not always the driver or actually moving while in a car?
How autistic do you have to be to start playing a deck when someone drives you? Also nearly all cars have trays you can use for a laptop instead
>i was kidding about you being socially stunted but you really went with that angle
do you really not see the difference in social awkwardness and convenience between reclining on the couch with the 'eck in hand and setting up your laptop and taking up their space?
You think playing a deck while someone drives you is fine, but using a laptop at a friends is what you find socially autistic? It's 100% more acceptable to use a laptop than sperg with kids toy like the deck, you retard. Even fucking the biggest normalfags all use laptops.
>if i'm at home the last thing i want to use is a fucking laptop, i have a desktop already
why would i want to squat in the living room or in the kitchen with a laptop when it's much easier to just recline on the couch with the 'eck if i wanted it?
So why use this as an argument for the deck?
>same as above, that's also a retarded use case, i'm not sitting there hunched over doing that shit when i have a dedicated setup for doing that at home
See above

You really need to do a better job with your shilling if you want people to buy this crappy product.

You can tell Nintendofags are genuenly concerned about the deck, otherwise they wouldn't come here every day to shit on the deck.

>>720285682
lol

>>720285575
>How autistic do you have to be to start playing a deck when someone drives you?
there's no practical difference between that and using a phone
only the le gamers bad demographic cares and you're retarded if you're still giving a shit about what those people say about you
>Also nearly all cars have trays you can use for a laptop instead
cool now plug the mouse in
>but using a laptop at a friends is what you find socially autistic?
yes, the difference in footprint is what makes it awkward
>So why use this as an argument for the deck?
because the deck requires no prep whatsoever while a laptop is strictly a worse experience than a desktop?

>>720285751
Yup. Thanks for proving my point

>>720285767
>there's no practical difference between that and using a phone
>only the le gamers bad demographic cares and you're retarded if you're still giving a shit about what those people say about you
Dude you talk about being socially autistic and write shit like this.
>cool now plug the mouse in
Why would I need a mouse
>yes, the difference in footprint is what makes it awkward
See above

>>720285790
Isn't this the part where you should post your comic with someone sitting in their couch and playing the deck vs laptop?

desu i sold my deck it was kinda incontinent to play games on

>>720285863
Nope, because I don't spam the same images like a shill. The Steam Deck has genuine fans. Nintendo has shills.

>>720285797
again, if you surround yourself with people who judge you for playing games and they're giving you flak for it that's on you
>Why would I need a mouse
because you're not playing games on a keyboard alone you dumb nigger

>>720273661
Even with those concessions the playable library is is so fucking massive I doubt you'll be missing much

>>720246647
Like 99% of all games ever released.
The far smaller list is what games you CAN'T play

>>720257414
>unironically defending it and coping with ancient games you can already emulate on your grandma's office computer
Or I could do it on my actual PC I also own, same as those modern games.
The deck is a tool for people looking for the best way to play games from a handheld device.
Simple as.

too old too weak.
buy a Legion Go for the same money

>>720275562
OLED is very nice but the top end one is a scam because the anti-glare coating makes it look worse in most environments.

>>720246419 (OP)
Swiss army knife of handhelds. I'm getting mine back today from its 32GB transition affirming surgery. It passed (btw). :)

>>720286015
YOU are the one that made the argument that using a laptop is socially autistic, while claiming there's no problem playing a deck in a car.
Are you actually retarded?

>>720287705
yes, spreading yourself out with a laptop and mouse to play games is more socially autistic than using a handheld even in a gamer circle

>>720246419 (OP)
How are those touch pads? Do they work well

>>720287808
Anon laptops are normalfag tier, even the biggest normalfags uses one... yes even with a mouse.
Meanwhile if you pick up a big ass toy like the deck people will look at you like you are a manchild (you are)

>>720246647
mario games. literally all mario games except latest mario kart, which is just a timed exclusive

>>720246419 (OP)
you can put your 'ick on it

>>720287938
coming over to someone else's house to spread out with your laptop is more awkward than just sitting on their couch playing your 'eck
i'm glad you silently gave up on the ergonomic argument because there sure isn't an argument for laptops there

>>720287857
https://youtu.be/gPg_AL-qRY0

>>720246419 (OP)
It's a backlog killer with a massive library that (mostly) just werks, and when issues pop up, the Deck has a dedicated community that has likely resolved the issue already (you just need to know how to use a search engine).

Deck isn't the most powerful device on the market (probably the newest ROG) or the most popular (indisputably the Switch, likely the Switch 2). But I've had more fun with the device than I ever did with my Switch, for what that's worth. Your mileage will vary based on the other options you have available (especially PC) and the value you place on portability / pick-up-and-play design.

Its comfortable to hold. Thats the main selling point. You faggots are so stupid.

wish I had no autism so I could emulate nitendo games on it without getting confused with abyx baxy... I really want to play super metroid

>>720289134
Man that is the worst part about emulators. Idk that the vita is way more comfortable, I still put old nintendo games on my 3ds, and old playstation games on the vita, it just feels better.

>>720289134
you can rebind the buttons
and it's not like learning to override that is even that hard, you don't actually look at the key legend while playing games

>>720246647
I played through The Last Sovereign, am currently playing Stick of Truth, will probably play Fractured But Whole, and my next planned game is Persona 4 Golden. It's the ultimate RPG machine.

>>720288084
>ergonomic argument
You mean comfortably playing on a laptop on a surface that exists everywhere
vs
Holding a big ass brick in your hands?

>>720290069
do you even live on this planet? are you extrapolating your neetdom and your mother obsessively buying tables to everyone else?
the deck can be operated with just your own two hands and nothing else and it's not chained to hogging tables only to get an experience that's a strict downgrade to desktops

>>720290639
Having a laptop on you lap is even less annoying than holding a shitty deck brick.
I hope they are paying you enough to make it worth shilling this crap.

>>720290792
a laptop on your lap is significantly less usable for games than a deck, you're restricted to keyboard only games
you're not going to use the touchpad, the batteries are dogshit and you're blowing hot air directly on your lap
not to mention that you're not getting a gpu as powerful as it and an oled screen in that price range

>>720290951
> the batteries are dogshit
The deck lasts like 2h anon...

>>720290792
NTA but how small do your arms have to be to consider the deck a brick? It's literally the perfect size for an adult.
Kids can use the switch just fine and I never see them complain, so why would an adult complain about the deck?

>>720291024
it's 50 watt hours and the deck only consumes 25w at peak power
you're not going to be playing full power aaa slop on a deck

>>720289134
Stop looking at the buttons while you play kek.

>>720291550
My thumbs know, they can feel that the buttons are wrong.

>>720291024
At peak, just turn the wattage down, even the og rog ally I was able to get 3 hours gaming

i had wanted a tablet or a laptop for a long time but the steamdick is so comfy plus it actually has an aux port which is nice. used to play a bunch of games i just didnt feel like playing while sitting up at my pc
sonic mania
rune factory 4
cozy grove
terraria
pseudoregalia
surprisingly it even ran gta online, fallout 76 and burnout paradise which doesnt even run on windows 11 all pretty well.

unfortunately the fucking thing fell out of my hoodie pocket the ONE TIME i took it outside to show friends i could play divos 2 on it and now the controllers all fucked up. i can fix it myself but im a poor neet rn.

I play all Nintendo game for free and watch porn with it.

>>720253271
This was my take on it too. It's too big and doesn't have enough horsepower to justify lugging it everywhere when everything it can play reasonably well (6th gen emulators) can also be played on a modern phone with controller.
If you can commit to a deck you could just as easily bring a laptop and moonlight to your phone to make it handheld or get an ROG ally, or if you can't commit to the bulk of it on the go then just use your phone and get a switch and deal with similar performance in modern games minus half the size and weight given how slow the deck is.

>>720285682
They don't, it's just your average Snoy wearing a mask. Congratulations, you fell for it.

>>720299885

>>720246419 (OP)
Don't buy it. Most of you retards allow yourselves to get locked and scammed into unlimited data plans contractually. Just stream from a home pc, one you can arbitrarily upgrade at any time. USB-C controller recommended, as all cheap Bluetooth ones have issues.

>>720290792
this is what I have been saying, people here don't listen or refuse to.

>>720255012
There's a config somewhere to get 60 fps for this, but this game sucks so much nobody wants to install it or test.

>>720300416
because you're wrong, you can't game with a laptop on your lap

>>720300061
In what way, I hate Sony's guts as much as Microsoft and want them both out of gaming along with selling their relevant IPs.
>sony is becoming increasingly irrelevant
That's why their fanbase is getting loud, retards. Xbots are acting the same way. Normalfags (Snoys and Xbots) have always been small but love to give the illusion that they're big.

>>720300705
and i want those out plus nintendo for being an insular toymaker that gets butthurt over emulation and piracy while offering an abominable experience to the paying customer
their consoles are utter fucking shit and they become obsolete at record time

>>720300705
*retard

>>720300916
Who gives a shit, it's their product and their games, they have a right to do with it what they please. Don't like it, get a job. When I get a Steam Deck 2, I'm using it far more as a portable console, over a PC, I'll use it as a PC to get games that are no longer available on PC or from other storefronts that have a game that isn't on Steam. Only brown put in effort just to steal a game like the poor faggots they are. Want Nintendo games, get a Switch 2 like I plan to.

>>720246419 (OP)
Just bought one. I gave it smudges. Time for a refund.

>>720301398

if you're going to virtue signal your whiteness do it in a better way than buying a toy from someone that hates you and wants to tighten their grip around you

>>720296890
tits too big

>>720303989
that's a retarded statement
pc people want everything on their platform because the whole point of it is functionality inherent to it
deck is just a portable pc that can emulate games so it struck a sore spot because it completely eclipsed the switch in the sole function it had
now tendies are gloating that it runs the few raytraced ports they have better

You can play Violated Princess on it
The sheer amount of games you have available on PC is absurdly high. If you can live without current AAA, there's just way too many games to ever get bored with a deck.
The only thing I cannot sell to you is the controls. The d-pad is shit. There is no way around this fact of life. And the analogs could be better as well. But the screen on the OLED is worth nutting.

>>720287202
I suppose that takes some special equipment to do?
That shit scares me. Like adding VRAM to nvidia GPUs.

>>720304675
Not him, but Snoys want that because like Xbots, they no longer have any games.

This is where the argument falls apart. The N-Gage reportedly only sold 2 million in its 2-year run and the Steam Deck is reported to have sold 3.7 million by the end of 2024. Nearly twice as much in about the same time frame is not "barely". Tendies or consolekeks in general can't fact-check. The origin of such misinformation appears to be a long-since-deleted MSN article from the link https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/other/steam-deck-has-barely-outsold-n-gage-as-sales-cast-doubt-on-xbox-handheld-plans/ar-AA1zPZxv

>>720275353
Yes, the Deck was shilled like crazy, but you can't just use the cookie-cutter reddit boogieman without proof. But on /v/? 24/7? That would be the Switch 2. The Deck barely got any discussion until THAT console came out and the Decks suddenly got you guys fuming so hard, firefighters kept getting called in. But I guess sales benefit the consumer? I'll just go back to playing Mario Galaxy 2.
