I love handheld gaming so much bros and it's better than we've ever had it. These PC handhelds are stuff of magic and there is a device for just about every taste.What device are you rocking and what are you currently playing?
>>722316267>DeckMore like golden shit LMAO
>>722316294>tendie makes reply in record sub 1 minute speedHow is that ghosting laggy LCD display treating you? And imagine the day has come where tendies shill Ubislop.
>>722316294now show the shitch without frame gen
>>722316267Fixed up my DS lite a bit and I'm playing curious village now.
>>722316294Now show the bing bing wahoo running Elden Ring or Expedition 33
This is pretty sick if there were any games that required this much performance actually worth playing.
>>722316267Steam deck. Played silksong recently. Can‘t wait for the playstation handheld, bros
>>722317036>Let's make a $2000 handheld bros>But let's use the same ass 7'' LCD display since foreverThis device is so crippled past its SoC. Ally X which is way cheaper, Legion Go 2 which has way better display and MSI Claw are all better handhelds.
>>722317218Shoe shoe, no one care about you, poortard.
>>722316267Honestly, I don't like how xboxhueg PC handhelds are. For comparison, that Vita is about as big as handhelds should be.I'll prolly get Deck 2 if it ever comes out
>>722317281Only SD is that comically huge. I don't like it either. However bare in mind that Vita's display was only 5'' which is unplayable for modern games. So handhelds must be bigger today as display sizes need to accomodate for HD games. I think the Ally has the ideal size but the screen is a bit too small for HD games.
>>722317281Nah the vita is way too uncomfortable for long play sessions. The decks ergonomics are perfect
>>722316267Use case for handheld device that couldn't last a quarter of a day?
>>722316294Damn tendies are desperate when they need to shill this game of all things
>DEAR SIR GOOD PC HANDHELD FOR NOT EXPENSIVE PRICE PLEASE REDEEMit's been three years of this garbage daily, buy an ad ranjeet
>>722317552The Famitsu thread is still up. Go there to circlejerk your Mario toy.
>>722316267Next gen is going to be funny with the PS6 handheld vs the Switch 2 and the next gen Xbox OEM handheld vs the Steam Deck 2. Switch 2 and Steam Deck 2 are gonna clean house.
>>722317461>>722317482Honestly, I don't have problems with its size, despite my large hands. I don't grip it fully, but with more of a claw grip. It's kinda awkward if I have to use the rear touch panel, but fortunately most games never used that shit.
>>722316350>>722316362>>722316571>>722317543All of you retarded ass motherfuckers fell for the most obvious bait that even a fucking newborn fresh from the womb wouldnt fall for. I bet the guy doesnt even own a Switch 2 or a Steam Deck either.
>>722318325>i-it was just baitkys
>>722316267>Handheld gaming is now just portable versions of games that are on every other platform.That's cool and all, but I miss when handheld games were their own unique ecosystem with their own exclusives.
>>722318395Im not the one who posted it you fucking retard.
>>722316571I'll show them when they are released
>>722318325I don't know why people fall for Snoy's bullshit, glad PlayStation is joining Xbox in the grave.
>>722318442I also miss when handhelds got shittier versions of console games
>golden age of portables>they're not actually portable
>>722318442Nobody is going to bother making unique handheld games in the age of hyper capitalism and rocketing stock prices. Even Nintendo gave up, despite selling handhelds.
Its very fun once you add a keyboard
>>722317036My deck OLED has 32GB+4TB and still costs less than that chinkshit. My stinkpad has 64GB of RAM and the only thing i did that almost maxed it out was compiling shit on a swapless Gentoo install.
>>722316267at least the vita was portable, still had no games but was portable unlike the eck
>>722318912And your shitty device is still weaker than the switch 2 LMAO.
>>722318442I rather a handheld be able to play everything. Handhelds are correcting problems started during the 7th generation from multiplayer games to AAA slop, to the death and decline or home consoles and high-end PCs. Game industry will fix itself in less of a decade because of these babies.
>>722319027Nah, mines optimaxed out and runs laps around the shitch 2. I got the only coworker to own a shitch 2 in my workplace to return it and get a Deck OLED; he fucking loves his Deck.
>>722319027His Steam Deck isn't using a $1 LCD display with insane amount of ghosting and input delay. So no, the Switch 2 is shittier.
>>722316267SOON
>>722319126>I got the only coworker to own a shitch 2 in my workplace to return it and get a Deck OLEDAnd then then everyone clapped and you got a promotion.
>>722319204Nah but he sure did kekYou lost tendieshill
>>722319027Videos like this were posted with the og switch when the deck first released And now it runs 60fps switch in docked resolutionAlso this person is probably running in desktop mode which isn't optimized
>>722319201>btfo by a phone
>>722319201That's a nice design and layout. I wish the buttons weren't Nintendo style though. This would be very handy as a clam shell device and playing light weight PC and emulation games. What's the name?
>>722316267Rocking this comfy machine for 2 years running
>OP asks: what are you currently playing?>open thread to find out what people are playing>only like 3 actual posts in thread when closing the tendie ragebait what the fuck happened to internet discussion holy fuckkill yourself if you say it's always been this bad, it just wasnt, every thread is like this
>>722318763You can buy real portable chinkhelds for as low as 20 usdYour fault for being autismo who wants pc gayming tier brick with shitdows
>>722319736The main issue is there‘s a few dozen NEETs who make it their life mission to derail every thread into shitposting. I looked at the ghost of yotei thread and that was just 300 posts of pure brainrot
>>722318912Do you notice any performance gains with cachyos?I might get a Deck and I'm interested on the tinkering side.
>>722316267Im replaying the Wii version of Little King's Story on my Steam Deck.
>>722319736At this point I think this board hates videogames
Had to send my Deck for an RMA, the battery shit itself. Right after making my steam sale buys too. I WAS starting Divinity OS2 ;_;
>>722320041Simply, yes. It's also easier to tinker in versus steam os since it's more traditional.
>>722318763Some chinkhelds are now both small enough to fit in your pocket and powerful enough to emulate up to (simple) PS3 and even easy to run/old PC games. In another year we will probably be at a point where x86/64 emulation is at a point where you can play most if not all indie games on steam given a powerful enough SoC.We are at the start of the golden age and shit is only getting better every other month I'm not looking forwards to literally every device turning into a small rectangle made out of glass and aluminium though.
>>722316267>deck>handheldIn the same sense in that a tower pc can technically be a laptop if you put it on your lap, I suppose.
^^^ bait
For me it's GBA and PS1 games on the miyoo mini plus.I like something that fits on my pocket and gets games up quickly.
>>722316267>massive bulky Windows devices with 2hr battery life>golden age of handheldsThe Golden Age of handhelds was PSP/DS era, being able to run fully fledged console games with 1:1 parity is great and all but it also brought the end of handheld games as we knew them, there are no more smaller scale and more experimental games for handheld platforms. It's $70 across the board and 1 (One) new entry per IP per decade
>>722316267>Get steam deck for emulation it's so easy just download emudeck/retro deck>Download them, oh actually you need these specific bios files we won't tell you where they are teehee. Also make sure you use the specific files for each system, in the right file folders you have to create>Constantly editing rom folders so they are picked up correctly, need Bluetooth keyboard for it.>PS 3 and Xbox still won't boot games no matter how many troubleshoots I do.This shit isn't easy at all, maybe for an enthusiast but for a normal person it's alot.
How much more would you be willing to spend for passive cooling versus active cooling if all else equal for a handheld?
>>722321229Sharing bios files or roms alongside your emulator is how these projects get taken down.So yeah, I can be annoying to get working, but you only do it once
>>722321718The handhelds I use can't function with passive cooling. Too much heat.
>>722316267Still rocking the original deck, playing everything I want on it aside from the odd game on my desktop if I want a bigger screen. Best vidya device I've ever owned bar none. Looking forward to what the deck 2 will be.
>>722320685Technically you can hold it in your hands. Just like the Compaq 286 "portable" could technically be placed in a human lap.
>>722316362Switch 2 doesn't support frame generation.Deck needs Ultra Performance FSR3, frame generation and all settings on low to put out 15FPS
>>722323204Now show the Shitch 2 input display lag
>>722322762Imagine if they were upgraded with hardware so power-efficient that they could function with passive heat sinks while retaining the same size, weight, and everything else.
>>722318325Bait isn't real and should never have been enabled. They can post stupid shit and I can call them out on it as is my right. Declaring afterwards that they somehow won is something we solved back in '08 as "I was just pretending to be retarded - fuck off retard - Jokes on them".
>>722319027>tendies have to rely on forced raytracing to shitpost>in outlaws of all games that none of them actually give a shit about>that the switch2 can barely run with lower than the lowest pc settings >with constant drops into the low 20s and 10s >all in order to try and shit on the deck because they have literally nothing elseTendie insecurity over the deck being the infinitely better system is delicious. What happened to nothing mattering but games? None of them gave a shit about visuals or performance on the switch, why are they so desperate to snoy it up now?
>>722323204Oh noooo bingbros...
>>722323571They also have to ignore lossless, remote play, and being able to play your copy of the game on any PC you have access to without having to shell out more money. You buy Outlaws for whatever god forsaken reason and it doesn't run great on the the Deck, you have options, or you could just set it aside for a while, get a Deck 2 and the game will be right there ready and waiting the moment you boot it up for the very first time with zero fuss or bullshit or trying to wring more money out of you, and away you go. Consoleplebs could never. Their copy of the game is the one they're stuck with, with zero recourse, and completely at the mercy of the console's real owner and can easily be left behind to rot each generation.
>>722316294fpbp/threadThis dogshit just keeps dropping in the survey, day by day. Dropped froom 35+ to like 28% in just a couple of month. No one uses the troon deck.
>>722323204tendies always give off such small dick energy, it's insane.
>>722316362>>722323292>clear video proof one is better>n-now gimp it by removing features!!!!! Then you'll see!!!!!Why are steamies like this?
>>722323638>X times lessThis isn't how math works. I'm not gonna pay attention to the opinion of a moron who can't do basic math.
>>722324817steamie cultist projection, PC vegans are known for the virginity and small willies
>>722324889nah, they remind me of a scrappy little dog that always barks at bigger dogs. they go out of their way to bark at everything and never shut the fuck up because they don't realize how small they actually are.
>>722316294Can switch play these?
I have tendie fatigue
>>722324871that's literally how it works30 in the denominator is 100 times smaller than a 0.3 in the denominator
>>722324958i should probably clarify that "they" here means tendies.
>>722324889what projection lmaotendie games are pure escapism, they don't tell stories, they don't have motives, they're just bing bing wahoo and hiyah haaah where the most complex part of them is level designthat makes them child adjacent and if there's anything children have it's small willies and virginity
>>722325304>they don't tell stories, they don't have motivesSo like top played steam games like CS2 or TF2
>>722316267I ended up not really having a use for the ROG Ally X that I bought, so I sold it for half it was worth
>>722325431those are called multiplayer games, they can't have stories or motivesmeanwhile i'm talking about nintendo's singleplayer games
>>722325604>those are called multiplayer gamesStill pure escapism and that makes them child adjacent with no stories or motive
>>72232171837% more
>>722325763>escapismyou're interacting with real people and multiplayer games produce rage at industrial quantities
>>722325304>where the most complex part of them is level designNintendo can't do that anymore either, it's why everything they make is open world slop now.
>>722316294NO NO NO NO NO DELETE THIS RIGHT NOW
Modern handheld technology is so cool. Playing RDR at 1200p 60 fps, feels like work of magic at times.
>>722327146Opps meant 1050p. Still the 16:10 resolution is so nice.
Thoughts on the PS Portal /v/? I have a hardwired PS5 Pro
>>722327452It's retarded, like most things Playstation post 2020.
>>722316267Playing the exact same games you have on your pc and console, but portably is not the golden age. Portable gaming was way better when it offered unique experiences.
>>722327664>unique experiencesexclusivity isn't good for the consumer
>>722316267i shall be playing shenmue for the very first time on my 'eck later today
>>722320072lol newfag
>>722327664Those games weren't that great most of the time. In the span of two decades, a dozen or so turned out great but that's very few in comparison to all the great console games made in that era. I'd rather just be able to play full fledged games on my handheld.
What do I mod games on my Steam Deck?
>>722324826>betterhere's an apples to apples benchmark btw
>>722328084That’s retarded. The games were designed with portability in mind ie: you may be playing for 10 minutes, or 4 hours. But the gameplay and structure could accommodate either. Plus, you could fit it in your pocket. And for consoles like the DS/3DS the dual screens enabled different types of games and gameplay that you can’t enjoyably play on modern portables. Not to mention the fucking console could actually fit in your pocket lol. I have steam deck and switch 2 but have no desire to have to haul them around with me and I have tonnes of downtime at work to game. Meanwhile my 3ds fits in my pocket and I bust it out all the time.Not to mention street pass which was the most kino feature ever added to a handheld. Rip>>722327737Ok, both pc and switch still have exclusives so that problem is not solved with modern portables anyway. Exclusives were better when they were unique and designed with portability in mind
>>722316267i really like my steam deck
>>722329261On my PC handheld I have countless games from previous handheld and console eras. Yet I always gravitate towards emulating the console games. Why? Because side by side, the handheld equivalents always come off undercooked and limited. There are some few exceptions but for most series, the portable entry is just a weaker more casual entry in general. Even console games are fine playing for 10-20 minutes. There are very few console games that require your attention for hours to get anywhere. Sometimes I miss the simplicity of the NDS/PSP era of games. Like you just went into gameplay and that was it and there was minimum amount of bullshit. But you can find those experiences today too.
>>722329261That's bullshit, handheld games were abandoning pick up and play design in mass as early as GBA. Most of the DS library is just console games in all but name and specs.
>>722329261>Ok, both pc and switch still have exclusives so that problem is not solved with modern portables anyway. exclusives exist due to the party wanting exclusives buying up studios and ips (nintendo), throwing a bag at third parties (sony), and just not giving a shit (pc)>Exclusives were better when they were unique and designed with portability in mindthere's nothing that pins games to being specifically portable, controllers can be compatible with everything and that's what determines what a game is
>>722329261>>722327664>he doesn't know that the main appeal of the Steam Deck is the instant sleep & wake for PC gamesThe quick pick up, play, and put down features alone is why you buy a Steam Deck. You can play PC games, put them down and continue several hours later.
>>722330462And you can also do that on literally every other handheld, retard.
I'm playing Pokémon Crystal in my GBA SP
>>722327452its pretty retarded. the network requirements are silly because some hotels and other "free wifi" places will have DNS or security settings where it simply wont be able connect to your PS5. on private networks that people own it does everything it says it does. The problems only come up when you are you know outside of a private environment like say anywhere outside. If you have a tech literate family member that you visit it could have a nice use case but I only kept the one I got because the prices went up. I got one and returned it before and bought one again when I was on vacation to play metaphor on the toilet when I marathoned that game to the end. It really is a dadstation consoel as in only for people who have a single entertainment center they have to share with children and spouses so they can still get some time with a movie game. if you want one to play say spiderman or god of war I'm sure you're going to love it.
>>722329934And yet due to the pocketability I can just close my 3DS and put it in my pocket for games with infrequent check points or if they aren’t stage based.>>722330016The design of the console itself lends to the portability, and developers designed games knowing they may potentially be played in short bursts. >>722330462There is nothing quick about picking up and playing a steam deck lol, if I’m actually using it portably and out of the house I need to carry it in its case in a back pack. Have 20 minutes of down time? Yeah let me just unpack this giant portable PC and play Elden ring for 20 minutes. Whoops time to move, gotta pack it back up. Compare this to, take 3ds out of my pocket, play game, flip it closed and put it back in my pocket.>>722329653You’re talking about playing the console versions of games over the handheld versions. You are aware that in previous handheld generations they had exclusive games that weren’t ports right? Yes of course if a game released on console or pc and had a thrown together 3ds edition I am not picking that option lmao
Play whichever you want, both have good things and bad things about them. Its not that complicated
>>722318895Nice! Also what wallpaper?
>>722316267Vita 2 when?
>>722334790Sony would find a way to screw it up.
>>722332690Why the fuck would you use Nintendo's limited emulation when you have the Steam Deck, idiot?
>>722316267I've been using my Odin 2 for about a year now and it's pretty great. It's mostly a 4chan machine but I've beaten a shitton of games on it too. Windows emulation on Android is also inna great place, I've put 400 hours of modded Skyrim on it.
>>722320065Are you playing with the controller mod or using mouse as wiimote input?
>>722335571I just got one year of that subscription thingy so wanted to try it
>>722318912That chinkshit has a 45-75W APU with like 5-6x the performance of the 'eck.Not saying it's worth the money but claiming your device is just as powerful makes you sound retarded.
>>722336668With handhelds it's not all about raw specs but also implementation. The deck mogs.
>>722316267I need to get my eck fixed but its just a lcd so I'll get something stronger later
>>722319345>Bottom screen bigger than the topCursed layout for DS unless if you're playing something like Etrian
for me, its the 3DS. though I'm thinking about grabbing a chinkheld for ps1 and ps2. obviously pc handhelds are the best I just barely play portable and when I do I like small form factors
>>722319027the Steam Deck can play almost every Nintendo game ever made, and it can play literally every single one of them that's actually worth playing. can the Shitch 2?
Only subhumans waste money on this shit.
>>722316267>new handhelds have bigger screens>old handhelds fit more comfortably in the hands and pocketsWe won't reach the pinnacle of handheld design until we get hologram tech that divorces the size of the screen from the size of the device.
>>722319423AYN Thorhttps://www.ayntec.com/products/ayn-thorhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2sUrakqWt0
>>722319201came to the thread looking for this, been obsessed with it all week. i'll probably grab it in a couple months, waiting on more in-depth reviews and user reports. looks great, and it'd be my first emulation handheld.
