>>108939603I'm not poor because I don't buy over priced children's toys though
>>108939603Nah my ADHD just makes me immune to any form of manipulation. FOMO affects me in no way.

>>108939603Poors are the one buying Deck though.Otherwise you'd get a GPD Win 4 or 5.
>>108939728>over 3000 buckswhat the FUCK
>>108939732What? That's less than my GPU.
>>108939735no a new gou costs 300 usd
>>108939603>this thing is overpriced >what are you poorok Op, here's a >you
I can honestly say I'm a bit of a Deck shill and I love the thing but what's the reasoning for buying at this hiked up price? Just FOMO? At this price point, you can probably pick up a Rog Ally X or a Legion GO which are both stronger for roughly the same price point. Maybe a little bit more expensive but their a lot stronger.The value for me was that it was just good all around, decent price, good enough for non super intensive games, and has trackpads which makes it useful for setting up more PC centric games. But it's getting older, doesn't run new shit as well.
>>108939954the elite have a herd of the most docile nigger cattle you have ever seen. people will buy literally anything if they see it, maybe this product will make then happy for sure and fill that deep emptiness time to buy it with their third credit card. they are the most docile nigger cattle you've ever seen
damn the new emulator handheld I see on tiktok is out add to cart, everybody is buying the switch 2 I need it, fuck the steam controller hold up I need that too, now the steam deck went up in price everyone's buying it I gotta be quick, wait there's a new game every streamer is playing I don't want to miss out, all this debt is getting kinda tough but my paycheque just came in time to bet it all on kalshi this time I'll get out of debt for sure, oops wait put a little aside for beer and weed. I wish I could afford a house.
>>108939603and this is how companies can do whatever they want, consumers will consume instead of voting with their wallets.sad and pathetic
>>108939603I won't pay for literal dogshit
>>108939603I only seethe about the fact that the US has developed a two speed economy. One for the top 20-30% of people, and one for the rest. And that the top percentage are able to make up for the bottom being poorer.Spells issues for the future.

>>108939603I don't see the point of playing PC designed games on a hand-held console.
>>108939603and how many units did they stock?
>Have a deck>But it has burn-in
What are you anons going to do if the next Steam Deck has m5 CPU?
>>108940123modern PC games are literal console games ported on PC. "PC" designed games were a thing in the early, maybe mid 2000s at the latest. Stop fucking larping tech illiterate zoom zoom
>>108939603Why would I buy 5 year old tech at a premium price?
>>108940123its not as bad as you think but the steam deck is the worst way to experience it, any device with a z1 extreme is a lot better value. I got my rog ally x used thats basically new for less than a 512gb oled steam deck and I use it more than my pc just playing games on the couch and when I take the bus. my brother owns a steam deck and its aids it can't even play ps3 games emulated and thinks pc games running 30 fps 720p is playable
If I'm away from my home, the last I want to do is play vidya, but to each their own.
>>108940343Yeah all those games were made on consoles shit huffing tard
That's because retards don't know their phones or cheap devices can emulate or steam games just fine from their PC with moonlight
>>108939987that is a dog
>>108939637exactly.i have more money in just one VOO holding alone that most on /g/ make in a year. not because i'm rich, it's because i don't run out and pay full price on the FOMO product.i saw tons of white trash and jiggaboos running out and squandering their rent on scalped PS5s, way back when, because they HAD to have it RIGHT NOW.
theres an old saying that any publicity is good publicity but I think that's more true than ever. buying advertisement campaigns mad men style is dead in 2026 all you need to do is do something retarded so news articles and youtubers talk about it and you will sell out immedietly and it costs you nothing.
>>108939728i will just game on my desktop, i know i know, hahahaha but i just wont play portable
>>108939603Why are people buying obsolete hardware with a valve logo on it when you have better options at the same price point?
>>108940740because they're nigger cattle that have been programmed to consume and shit
>>108939603Lmao
>>108940343certified ipad baby alertmost known 2000's games were already just shitty console ports on PC
>>108939603I ordered mine as soon as it was available.Price should never be an issue if you want something.
>>108941296true. the fact I haven’t bought shit means I’m happy owning nothing.
>Price should never be an issue if you want something.
>having a meltdown because someone bought something that you cannot afford
I had two but i sold the other for 1400
>>108939603i'd wanted a 1tb oled 'eck for the last few months and bought the bullet this week on a used, like new device for $600feels good to finally have it tbqh
>>108941412People should buy things that have $1000 specs, much higher even. But steam deck doesn't.
>>108939735If you spent more than a thousand on your GPU you fucked up.
>>108939954It's probably scalpers buying them up without thinking and when the price rises yet again they'll flood the market with them to try to make a profit
>>108939603I like the steamdeck, i just dont NEED a steamdeck. I play vidya at home behind my desk or on the couch. I have no need for mobile gaming. if i was traveling a lot or something maybe this would be interesting, but even then i would probably go down to a bar or something.
>>108939603I am amused by the absolute state of the nigger cattleBehold what they slave over
>>108941452
>>108941991Yeah, you fucked up. You don't need that. Doesn't matter how many anime titty girls it can pump out, you don't need it.
>>108942001All you need is food and a warm bed too. Wanna?
>>108942001Who gives a shit if he "needs" it, most people don't need most of the things they buy yet they still do it, but because the expenses are smaller no one gives a shit.Besides you simply can't fuck up buying a top of the line GPU in this environment.If he bought that even few months ago he has already made at least couple of grand with his purchase if he sells that right now.I paid €2600 for my 5090 and now it goes now for €3700 and it will go even higher before I even have to think about selling it.Powerful GPUs at the moment are a better investment than a lot of stocks.
>>108939954I got my wife a steamdeck ages ago and it's a solid device from a performance and ergonomics standpoint. But at this price point the Xbox ally x makes more sense. And it runs steamos (beta) but for a beta valve releases impressively stable builds.
It's not about being poor, it's just bad value now. It also make alternatives viable like the Ally X/Chink ones I don't know about. Either way, I don't need one.
>someone doesn't want to participate in the latest FOMO consumerism trend>gets called poor>Someone buys something more expensive that makes him happier>y-you don't need itThis gen is mindfucked, no rational, no principals just cheap shots to try to cope with being downwardly mobile.
>>108940025Yeah, considering all the useless hobbies (fucking model trains lmao) and expenses boomers could afford AND A FUCKING HOUSE to boot, yeah I think you're just taking the L on that post, unc Fuck your mother
