sell me this pen
>>720246419you 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
>>720246494that is a fair point but what other games can i play?
>>720246419Lol you would be much better off purchasing a Nintendo Switch 2.
>>720246678but it doesn't have any exclusive games
>>720246419It'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 experienceBecause Linux is Linux not every game works but I'm pretty sure most of them do
>>720246678Shut up, Snoy
>>720246419Are you in the market for a handheld?
>>720246419I haven't touched mine since June 5th.
>>720246419Here, sign this petition
>>720246419I kinda want the oled one but the refurbished are always sold out.>>720246984Can I do spreadsheets on it?
>>720246419You can play anything that it can run.What else is there to say.
>>720246678the screen is terrible though? why would I want that in a handheld
>>720246419If you have a phone and a PC just use sunshine/moonlight and buy a controller
>>720246419what'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
>>720246816Yes it has exclusive Nintendo games
>>720246419you can play your gaems on the train or while waiting in line at the Wallgreens to pick up your estrogen.
>>720249431rather just be on my phone
>>720246647you can additionally play bomb rush cyberfunk on this device.
>>720249314you play them all on pc
>>720247221This, but I touch mine every day. I'm touching it right now.
>>720246419Nearly your entire PC library whenever wherever you want with instant sleep/resume, it's a godsend and the ultimate backlog killer.
>>720246419It's the only system that allows for keyboard heavy games to be played on the go.>on the go = you can play it without needing to find a surface to play it on>>720249143Check screen settings and change resolution to "Native."You're welcome.
>>720246419Ive been considering selling some tf2 hats for one. Really only as a second machine docked on my tv in the living room.
>>720250624'eck just beggin for the ''ick
>>720246419you 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
>>720246642It's so fuckin nice dude, literally what I always dreamed of in a gaming device as a kid
>>720246419It's good.
>>720246494Doesn'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 itYea 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.
>>720253101I 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
>>720246419MANTHAT'S NOT A PENTHAT IS A STEAM DECKI THREW IT ON THE GROUND
>>720255012That's exactly what I want, thank you tendie-kun.
>>720246419fuck off. it's not our job to convince your stupid ass of anything. rope yourself.
>>720246678how do i install steam on a switch 2?
>>720256474>spend hours tweakingsays 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?
>>720256538let'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?
>>720246419If 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.
>>720256810I 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.
>>720256810is someone paying you to spam your folder or are you voluntarily this pathetic
>>720256810https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_YQA8Q4A8whttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbZ4hPoJV80Oh 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>can't play any modern games>unironically defending it and coping with ancient games you can already emulate on your grandma's office computervalve cultists are the most pathetic cucks in the world
>>720257414who said anything about a Deck. I use Fedora
>>720257414better than half a thousand dollars for a literal child's toy loaded with literal pedophile bait
>>720257414>buy the newest nintendo toy>any generic phone can play more nintendo gamestendies are the single most fucked over customer baseno one else pays to have a worse experience
>>720246419It'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.
>>720246647Anything made before 2020 (aka everything worth playing)
>>720257414All 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 generationsno wonder the switch 2 outsold deck's entirely in like 1 week
>>720246647Basically the only thing you can't play is kernel level anti-cheat cancer.
>>720258149You're being too obvious now. Poe's law maybe, but shouldn't be relied on.
>>720257414you buy it for the form factor, it's a secondary system, not a primary like for you tendiesand 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 playablenintendo 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
>>720258149it'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 cancerYou can actually play most of these, just not the ones where devs specifically blocked Linux aka most Epic exclusives.
>>720246419What'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
>>720255012want to talk about obsolete when nintendo consoles become worthless with emulation?
>>720258905They'll have to kneel eventually as linux gradually keeps gaining ground
I'M NOT A PART OF YOUR SYSTEMMY PEN IS NOT A DECKDUH
>>720246419just play on your tablet with a controller
>>720259576totk runs at stable 60fps on the switch 2meanwhile on the deck, it can get really rough
>>720261819It 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
>>720261819https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgqlQkNPBT8TotK is trash and Zelda is dead.
>>720261416wish I had a bathtub..
>>720262438so relaxing
>>720250561I 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.
>>720262634It's very good in my experience.
>>720262634It 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.
>>720262634it's literally one of the strongest points of the device besides the controller configuration/integration and adjustable refresh rate
>>720246419Buy this pen or ill kill you with it
>>720262814>>720263052>>720263325So did the tendies lie to me or are you niggas deck worshipers?
>>720265073somebody 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
>>720265073I'm curious what you think.
>>720261416all good until the laptop falls on the water and kills you
>>720265283No, the tendies said it took fifteen (15) seconds to resume playing after putting it to sleep
>>720265841More like half a second, they're bullshitting hard.
Valve themselves can’t even sell it how is some dude on /v/ gonna?
>>720266158Imagine if Valve actually tried to.
>>720265841>>720266091I wouldn't say half a second, but it takes like 3 max
>>720265589Idk 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?
>>720266274They 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
>>720246419I can't, it's inferior to the PS Portal in every way, just like PC is inferior to the PS5.
>>720268271right...well, enjoy your streaming tablet
>>720267659That sounds ancient. OLED doesn'thave that problem and Valve fixed the fan curves on the LCD.
>>720246419I can't :(
>>720268271>streaming device>snoy
>>720246647Burnout 3, the best racing game ever made
I can play the relaxing games I've already paid for in my bed
>>720247742>Terrible screen>Terrible battery life>2 exclusives
>>720255012Why 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 gamesThat's your problem.
>>720270190Name those better products
Why not just get a laptop like a non-retard?
Because steamdeck is superior white boys
>>720257414>>720261819who's going to tell xer?
>>720270406Rog 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/?
>>720271691I was talking about the Analog Pocket and whatever stupid piece of shit they have. Buy a mister, never buy from analog
>>720271731Unless 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.
>>720271691Legion 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.
>>720272049Ok, 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>>720271379Anytime 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.
>>720272173I 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 raisinUpdate.Debatably it still runs well, since it's designed to sperg out if you're playing on linux.
>>720272027The 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.
>>720272340Works 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? lollmao even
>>720272320Considering it's in response to tendie shitposting when tendies were fellating and gloating over DLSS in the S2, it's more than appropriate here.
>>720272691I'm gonna be honest none of those games sound remotely interesting to me.Also me personally I only liked diable 1 & 2.
>>720272775Project diablo 2 introducing gamepad support is pretty nice for deck. I've been enjoying season 11 handheld
>>720272923I suppose, it's got track pads and gyro, so it was never an issue for me to click on shit.
>>720272775Every 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.
>>720273073fuck me, that was ESL. I’m going to bed
>>720273028I 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 linuxNot 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?
>>720273262Yes to gta5 and mgs5. Compromises for the others. For mgs5 I modded it with infinite heaven. It's pretty good.
>>720273260I 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.
>>720273498It'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.
>>720273260What if I told you it could? Would you still suck off Gabe?
>>720257873>>720258157There are going to be older stuff that's difficult if not impossible, plus games that relied on gimmick accessories.

>>720271691If your handheld is going to be tethered to a brick and sound like a hair dryer, why not just get a gaming laptop?
>>720273568It’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.’”
>>720246419You can get your kid off your back with it
>>720273834>No REAL linux user lives on linux aloneridiculous cope, i haven't touched windows outside of work (in a virtual machine) since 2017. there is literally no reason to. even virtual reality on my valve index works fine

>>720274034well, 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.
>>720274064You’re a bot
>>720262634It'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
>>720246419Sell it to yourself.
>>720274312I'm probably one of the few people that ain't a chink or jeet having the gay eye ghostwrite their shill posts for them.
>>720274342I love it when the thing just won’t turn on even though it’s charged no matter how long I press the power button. The Xbox 360 would turn on every time
>>720272173>What if I wanted to play 7th genI regularly use mine as a demon's souls machine, so if you wanted to emulate gtaiv i guess you could. not sure why you wouldn't just play the pc version and patch back in the old radio/whatever else
>>720274278portable consoles are not new tech
>>720273338How big are those compromises?

>>720274996>>720275068>>720275076Ehhh 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
>>720275562Oled 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
>>720275562oled 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
>>720275562oled has a 90hz screen instead of 60hz, a 50 w/h batter instead of 40 and the wifi and charge speed are way fasteralso 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
>>72027457130-40fps instead of 60
>>720246419>Get back home from work>Kids watching streamer>Wife watching korean drama on TVI used to wait till the time to put kids to sleep to play a videogame, now I don't really care, I just pick up the Deck and play wherever in the house I like.
>>720275562>I could rob another 7-eleven to get the extra moneyWhat the FUCK did he mean by this bros?
>>720271691I wonder if the Xbox version they're going to release is going to actually be an improvement..
>>720246419It looks cool and fun to fidget around withThats it I sold it to you
>>720246419you can play on low settings, 25 fps (with some dips) after turning on FSR and buying the loseless scalling app
>>720277506More like 90 at max
lots of seething itt
>>720275562Go 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.
>can't play modern gamesperfect
>buy a shit deck>can't even play new games and can mostly just be used as an emulator... something your phone can dowhy would I buy one?
