>Steam Deck 1's APU was codenamed Aerith>Steam Deck 2's APU is codenamed GainsboroughWhy does Valve have so many Aerithfags when Tifa is clearly superior?
>>748825864oh so gabes is a final fantasy fan.Based
>>748825864Tifa is normal chocolate, tastes nice but its very vanilla.Aerith is white chocolate, has a different, sweeter, creamier taste, is more exotic and obviously denotes a higher IQ.
>>748825864>that'll be 4000 dollars for the 256gb version, sir.
>>748825864They're letting you know it's doomed.
>>748826473the steamdeck and steamframe are going to subsidize the steamdeck 2
>>748825864Aerith is neutral aligned. She doesn't live so it is nice not being forced to choose
>2028Yikes.
>>748826714you want this thing to release during the RAM crisis?
>>7488267146 years after the first Steam Deck doesn't seem too bad. Better than slapdash China spam.
>>748826953The ram "crisis" is never going to end. You are looking at the new normal. By 2028, you're gonna wish for these prices because they will cook up some new bullshit excuse to raise prices again.
>>748825864>no codename TifaTo make your device not smell like a genuine cheap whore >>748705363 which its "designer" plagiarized her from his personal nasty secondhand fap material >>748702046 (but removed her perky nipples and added some belts) as an irrelevant sidebitch for illiterate shiteaters.
>>748826473I'll be up for a Steam Deck 2 Pro that gave no fucks about price and just aimed tl be the best of the best.>independant CPU and GPU>64GB of RAM>4TB SSD>1080p 144hz AMOLED screen>hall effect joysticksDon't care how much it costs, just do it.
>>748827042you are aware that openAI has already backtracked on a big chunk of that RAM contract, right?
>>748827734It was never a contract in the first place, OpenAI signed a MOU.
>>748826351He tweeted about playing ff14 on deck when it just released
>>748826461The comparison to milk chocolate is apt, but Aerith is more like dark chocolate. The taste is stronger, richer, more luxurious, exotic, and usually more expensive because it's purer. But it's also an acquired taste, and initially it might seem too strong for people.Yuffie is white chocolate. She's the contrarian option, but she's not even a real love interest for Cloud in the same way Tifa and Aerith are.
>>748828794Barrett is obviously dark chocolate. Because he's black.
>>748825864Just wait 5 years to see if RAM and SSD prices go down the Steam Deck 1 is currently the worst deal in gaming
>>748826351Even better, he supports the superior Aerith instead of that cumdumpster T*fa
>>748826714That's 3 years away from now according to ValveTime
I like it better when AMD names their GPUs after fish & food. Plum Bonito.
>>748828898But Barrett isn't a waifu character. The analogy doesn't make sense if it's applied to anyone who's not one of Cloud's love interests. Cloud's not indulging in Ba-
>>748825864I thought Apu was cancelled.
>>748829165
>>748826953>you want this thing to release during the RAM crisis?the ram crisis literally cannot end until 2032, the contracts are locked in
>>748830131>>748829165>>748828898Go back to your discord you shit eating indian tranny
>>748825864>long awaitedI feel like the steam deck just came out. What improvements would warrant another release? Won't be cheap with current prices of hardware.
>>748831498steam deck & ps5 are old hardware now. they are zen 2 + rdna 2. amd already put rdna2 into maintenance mode. they havent made zen 2 chips in a long time. they are full am5 and future radeon now.
>>748831498bigger and hotswappable battery120hz refresh ratetmr sticksadd all of those and the 'ecktoo would be a perfect device
>>748825864Straight up retarded time to develop hardware right now, why not wait and use a later gen APU when there's a (small) *chance* that memory prices come down in a few years?I understand they sold out all the machines and frames, but they could actually sell for a lower price and make a bugger profit later which is better for the producer and consume.
>>748825864Because if it was Tifa than it would be too hot.
>>748831576>amd already put rdna2 into maintenance mode.'eck is linux, remember?their driver stack is completely open source, valve gets to do whatever the fuck they want since they have all the pieces
>>748831237they'll be voided
>>748831498Run games released after 2023 would be a start.
>>748825864And Deck 1 refresh was named Sepiroth.So Sepiroth is a better Aerith?
>>748832183who wants that?
>>748832545Me and my army.
Great, another steam device I won't be able to get thanks to the lottery
>>748825864Soooo how big of a jump are we expecting? Is battery life be doubled for previously playable games on Steam Deck 1? Will tenth gen be a huge problem for it like how the ninth gen was for Steam Deck 1? Valve previously said they wanted some huge leap forward and not something incremental like how the Ally X and other PC handhelds were just slight improvements on the original Steam Deck.Personally I feel like my Steam Deck could last until 2033 or so before I really want an upgrade because of indies, ROM hacks, and fuck loads of games I've yet to play.
>>748825864APU?
> gainsboroughNot a name that inspire long durability.
Why Gaben love Aerith so much?
>>748825864So what is Deck 3's api going to be Sephiroth because it will be an api 2 killer?
>>748836424>I feel like my Steam Deck could last until 2033same. I don't need to play new AAA games on a handheld. it's already capable enough to work on the backlog and emulate older handheld consoles
Tifa and Lockhart are reserved for the more advanced models coming out in the future.
>>748827042The RAM crisis ends the moment the Chinese get their own manufacturing up and running because America, in it's far-sighted wisdom, decided to force China to develop their own RAM and chip manufacturing by putting extreme export controls on them.Once they do that and scale up, which the Chinese excel at, prices will go down... and then established Western companies will be shitting and pissing and crying about the "cheating" Chinese, completely unwilling to compete in pricing with China and instead lobby governments to try and ban Chinese goods or tariff them out of the whazoo. As usual. But it will only buy them time. Consumers can't wait to get cheaper hardware and any concerns about "but this hardware is Chinese" will disappear the moment the Chinese offer equally powerful hardware for like a quarter of the price. If not less.It's very much a strategy of "fuck the future, let's maximize profits NOW"
I'm not really sure what would be the point of a new steam deck to be at least entirely honest (As an owner of one). I'm not a big enough retard to think spec chasing faggotry on a handheld and games that are fun to play, and shit themselves on the Steam Deck's specs are basically mutually exclusive.I guess they can do TMR sticks, but like that doesn't really require a whole ass hardware revision.
>>748838269Oh whoops that's the wrong picture
>>748836424Since 2022 Valve constantly stated that they want "a significant gain" (to performance) so I would say doubling thanks to the combination of a new node + architecture jump. But since Valve will most likely increase the screen resolution, we'll probably see some of the performance increase eaten by the need to push more pixels. So... maybe 50% more FPS but on higher res screen? Honestly I am more hopeful about the new battery. Phone battery sizes have really jumped since the days of the Deck 1 release, so maybe some of those increases will show up in Deck 2, creating either lighter device or better life (or a combination)
>>748829008But cumdumpster tifa is hotter because she ntr cloud
>>748825864>That would be 1500 + taxes + tip>thanks for supporting Gayben's yacht army!
>>748839558Aren't they betting on Fex and Lepton maturing?
>>748840195I honestly doubt that the Deck 2 will be ARM. Maybe 2 episode 2
>>748825864>gainsborough>historically important town, part of the viking invasion of britain>was once both the capital of england and denmark at the same time>"fags will know the name because aeris"fuck, you culturally dead niggers make me sick
>>748841156Nojimbo the scenario writer akshually stole that surname from some french nigga Serge Gainsbourg (セルジュ・ゲンスブール).
>>748836424Gainsborough is rumored to be 3 times the performance of the current Steam Deck, it'll pretty much be a PS5/RTX 3060 equivalent in 1200x800p
>>748826473*plus bullshit lotto system to even be allowed to purchase the hardware (not shipping until a year later unless you're a famous youtuber or streamer)
>>748841156You guys have been culturally dead for a decade now.
>>748836424>Is battery life be doubled
>>748825864>Why does Valve have so many Aerithfags when Tifa is clearly superior?because when your steam deck dies halfway through your game, you wont complain, instead you'll go "haha le funny meme"
Can't wait for the comparisons where a 1200€ Steam Deck 2 beats a 500€ Switch 2.
>>748831498desu the main thing i actually want are sd card slots built into the dock
>>748845554I'm sorry! I had something different there, rewrote it to flow better, then forgot to proof read it so it read something like:>Will battery life be doubledI will never be good at the one language I have spoken all my life. Unless you're talking about how Valve hardware notoriously has poor battery life or something else related to that, then yeah, I'm probably being too hopeful.
>>748845924I know like, SD cards in general are fucked right now, but it actually is kind of annoying to me how obnoxious it is to find a cardreader for my pc>But there isThe speeds are shit on those.
>Deck 2 comes out>Still doesn't support SD Express to offset smaller internal storageGranted I'm more baffled the fucking Steam Machine didn't support it. Least the NVMe is easy to replace in it I guess.
I wanna join the Deck Bros bad but the pricing is so unimaginably shit it's not justifiable so I just sit here seething
>>748850271You had years to get it while its price-point was relatively solid for what it offered.
>>748829008You flatties need to accept big boobs =/= whore
>>748849354>SD ExpressDOA
>>748827503>5 mins of battery life and weighs 7 poundsThat’s just fucking retarded
>>748825864Yeah that's great, but how overpriced is it going to be?
>>748825864while i really appreciate what valve is doing in the linux space, i still dont see the steam deck as a worthwhile purchase for me, i prefer a desktop pc and then a slim tablet with detachable controller, with moonlight for local streaming
>>748826351oh... so thats why FF is so hated hereit all makes sense now
Should have named it Jack.Fuck you ff7 pussies
>>748826351He was always based
>>748844568Yeah but it will cost 5k
>>748850271Too bad, killed a lot of my backlog thanks to thisTrackpads are perfect
>>748844568It needs to at least be 1080p if not 1200p though.
>>748826351He's a dirty WHM
>>748825864I literally purchbougted a 'ick on 'eck yestedayPlease say sike
>>748850271You can get the xbox one which basically has the same chip, a smaller screen, and no trackpads.
>>748857768Thanks for funding the eck 2
>>748857861I buyed an used LCD model tho
>>748857768Sike
>>748857768the apu leaking means nothing. it doesnt mean its coming this or next year or anything. i mean you KNEW it was being developed. like, you KNOW the successor to the switch 2 is being developed RIGHT NOW with the switch 2 still being new.im sure you can save up 1k by 2028
I hope valve won't fall for the 1080p+ screen res meme. Battery life is what's most important. 800p OLED is fine. 1680x1050 should be the max they aim for.
>>748831576PS5 is custom RDNA1.
>>748857768i seriously hope you didn't pay full price
>>748826461It’s like what I’ve always said: childhood is thinking chocolate donuts are the best, adulthood is realising strawberry is superior
ITT retards that fall for fake news, there is no steam deck 2 rumored to be in development Its just a made up headline to drive clicks
>>748825864THANKS FOR BETA TESTING OUR HARDWARE 1 KEKS
>>748828919>patreon for ai pornwhat has the world come to?
>>748831498Deck was weak when it came out. Can't even run modern AAA games. Not that there are any to play but still.
>>748862068this is what happens when you let millions of pajeets on the internet
>>748845756darrentranny its over you lost and got raped
>>748825864Fucking finally!
>>748857768this shit is still 4 years away at least
>>748825864Tifa is for tits suking and anal.Aerith is for marriage and child bearing.
>>748825864Is this why the Steam Deck was murdered by the Switch in sales?
>>748827503>independant CPU and GPUlol delusions
>>748827503you do know that dGPUs are not viable for handhelds, right? having to power its own memory makes it way less efficient and it's not going to be as flexible with sleep functionality
>>748825864>AMD makes inferior GPUs >chooses inferior girl
>>748867456AMD doesn't hate their customers and business partners so it's fitting
>>748867560Then why would they choose a girl that's a hate letter to players?
>>748825864Gaben worships a false goddess
>>748825864>>748826351>>748826461I want to fuck both to pregnancy but I prefer Yuffie or pic related and I would also impregnate them
>>748839558Why would it need a higher res screen?
>>748868293WUXGA would be a mathematically perfect resolution for the 'eck 2
>>748825864>dies after two hoursgreat hardware, gaben
>>748827503Average pcbro btw.
Valve should just copy the switch and make the controllers detachableNo reason not to really
>>748862068>>748862156It's not AI you raped schizos
>>748857338no ty. higher res means higher power draw and less battery life.
instead of ick on eck2 its gonna be you and your best bud frotting on it
>>748867560Tifa doesn't hate her customers either.
>>748868474That is way too high for something as small as the Deck. You need a massively powerful GPU to run anything at that resolution. Unless you're rubbing your nose against the Steam Deck there's no reason to have a resolution that high.Maybe 1680x1050, but even that seems overkill.
>>748867667There is no God but Tifa, and Johnny is her prophet.
>>748871815We know that Tifa, that why it only costs 10 for 4 punks sharing your 3 holes. >>748827282>https://m2.imhentai.xxx/008/61t05dx4uy/7.jpg>https://m2.imhentai.xxx/008/61t05dx4uy/34.jpg
