My apartment is to small to have a desk with a PC so I just use my Steam Deck to game now :)
Who knew Valve could make a console so good it converts PC gamers.
Considering it’s cheaper than our equal to a gfx card, frugal me cannot convince myself to build another gaming pc. My 2080 ti will retire and my steam deck will be all i have.
Not to undercut it, but the steam deck shows triple the actual game time for some of my games, as it probably counted the time the device was asleep with a game running, due to some glitch.
Fuck I really gotta just pony up and get one don’t I 😂
If you dont care about high settings at high resolutions in AAA games, then its absolutely the best gaming option out there.
I do say people should be willing to tinker with the software if they want to get some more obscure, abandoned or emulated titles working though, thats the only caveat.
I love mine. It’s great in handheld mode with Moonbeam/Sunshine streaming from my gaming desktop, and it shines in docked mode.
And it’s a very capable Linux desktop too if you want to go that route.
The refurbished ones are really cheap during the sales.
They can’t really keep them in stock, though. I was checking on them shortly before the sale started and the refurbished 64GB LCD models were all out. Now all the refurbished models are sold out.
It’s just as well, though. Between the Switch 2 and the Deckard, I’ve got some other stuff I might want to waste money on this year.
Buy a 64gb one, you can upgrade the storage pretty easily
Yes

This can’t be true, because I’m not using steam anymore/s
why
Stopped playing games and if I want to play some games I fire up my PS5.
Oh
