Completely agree! When this bad boy gets retired it is getting disassembled and placed in a shadow box for display.

The steamdeck seriously changed my perspective of what power I need for a computer and convinced me that I can continue to run my 1080ti for at least a few more years.

I think so. But it would be hard and I would be surprised if anyone besides Valve could pull it off.

I have a second batch steam deck and still play it often. I wish it had a slightly bigger OLED screen. I think the 16x10 8inch equivalent is a good size.

There would also need to be a fairly decent CPU and GPU upgrade. As well as either an efficiency upgrade or a bigger battery. I think with enough time if we could get a decent arm CPU with good GPU performance, but that is likely not going to happen anytime soon, this could theoretically hit all of these requirements.

I would like to see hall effect sticks and triggers by default.

That could dethrone the steam deck. Especially if it had good linux support, either steam os or bazzite would be good for me.

Played this on steam remote play together. Worked well.

I play about 50% of my playtime on my steam deck. I reduced my shooters because even though I like gyro aiming it still will never be as good as my keyboard and mouse.

I disagree with my mah and old man a lot. But, when I was having hard times as a kid, giving them headaches and heartaches, and when I struggled as an adult they were there to tell me they loved me, hug me, feed me regardless of what I believed. They have always loved me unconditionally.

If it ain’t illegal. I’ll host it for them, no questions asked. If I ever needed anything, those are two people I know will be there every time, without fail. It’s the least I can do to try and pay them back, even if I know I never could.

I recently have been trying to play through all of the final fantasy games in chronological order. (Mainline games). Playing the gba dawn of souls currently. Playing through ff1

NV is great on the deck! I started up a fresh file a year ago on the deck as a psycho addicted knife wielding charismatic serial killer. Probably my favorite fallout.

I bought it on sale for like 5 or 10 bucks. Play it on my deck. After they added some npc quest lines, and if you don’t mind being pay locked out of some customizations, it is an ok game.

I love the fallout universe and getting to experience some lore from so close to the bombs falling. But it is my least favorite out of all of the games. I even enjoy 4 better than it.

Host is Proxmox, with Ubuntu LTS VMs.

My daughter’s drawings are held on my fridge with old HDD magnets.

I am pretty sure it is a nostalgia thing for me. It smells like electronics from my childhood, moreso than other newer electronics I have. When I smell the vent it brings me back to my childhood and all of my friends and siblings gathered around a console in a small room with no AC in the middle of summer. A simpler time when I wasn’t a dad, didn’t have a mortgage, a job, taxes and bills to pay etc. I was just a kid sitting on the floor shirtless in shorts surrounded by my friends trying to finish games.

I currently own a steam deck. I got it in the first batch of deliveries. As far as a tech product goes, I have never consistently used a tech product for this long outside of my desktop. I almost always find myself migrating back to my desktop for everything, except with the steam deck. I actually find myself doing things on my deck instead of my desktop.

When version 2 comes out (or if I can get a sweet deal on the OLED down the road) I will for sure be upgrading without hesitation.

Is that a perfect 5/7?

I absolutely loved Outer Wilds. The game throws you in and the rest is up to you, go where you want, play when you want etc. The music and atmosphere are great.

I absolutely love the steam deck track pads and gyro. Its good to know that people out there don’t think 100+ is out of bounds for value, but it might still be a little out of my price range for what I’m willing to spend on a peripheral.

I regret not buying one back then, they are currently going for 100+ dollars. It is wild how expensive they are but I have heard they are very good.

I am a father of young children. Prior to my deck, I would be just too tired by the time the kids were asleep to go downstairs in my basement and play on my desktop. That just led to me playing games maybe once a week on the weekend.

Now that I have a deck, I can kick my feet up on the couch and play for an hour or two before bed.

Because of the deck I actually am able to make time to play games. Without the deck I just skip games altogether during the week.

OLED screen

Bigger battery

More efficient APU

I initially hated gyro, but the more I use it, the more I want to use it.
