Be honest with me, Ganker, how often do you even find yourself finding the opportunity to play your deck/switch handheld? Do you ever find yourself using it for longer than 10 minutes on a plane ride? Is handheld gaming another scam just like motion controls?
If I had one I would probably play it on bed all the time but never outside my room.
One question, though. Can you "dock" this thing and play with a separate controller on a TV? If that's the case I would only play it this way.
Yes, but at that point why wouldnt u just get a desktop/laptop?
Almost every day. I'm playing Spyro Remastered (I beat Spyro 1, just started Spyro 2) and Divinity Original Sin 1 these days.
Same reason why I bought any other handheld in the past: sometimes I want to play videogames on the bed.
I refer you to
i take my deck to my remote cabin and plug it on on trips so i can sometimes enjoy a little gaming without having to buy a laptop or bring a full size console on the trip - also makes for a nice little gaming session being cozy on the couch by the fireplace
posts like this always baffle me
they always find some dream remote vacation scenario and then ruin it by saying they spend it with a fucking video game toy up to their face
It's comfy.
it's pathetic is what it is
pretty much on any vacation especially if you are innawoods enough, there’s a lot of unavoidable downtime. typically you’d use this to play cards or boardgames and the ‘eck is just an extension of that
posts like this make it clear you aren't a person who has ever spent time away from the world
when i drive to my cabin and have to unlock it after a winter storm it can take hours to clear that shit after which i like to go inside and enjoy a hot chocolate next to the fire with my dog and warm up with a little game time
you are so judgemental but you don't even know what owning property is most likely
not everyone wants to rough it 100% of the time on VACATION
I know we're on a video game forum so I know for a fact you aren't hurting for "game time" you big lazy fuck
go experience the actual world before you die of heart failure
i've seen an experienced more of the outside world than you ever will anon
you can go fuck yourself
Experiencing thru the screen of your deck isn't the same as irl experience anon
If you can't appreciate zipping up in the tent for the evening and playing a few rounds of pokemon TCG before you go to sleep then that's a you problem
quite possibly the faggiest thing ever spouted on this forum and that's a fucking massive accomplishment
I bet you're one of those fags that needs to LARP as fucking Bear Grylls when they go camping
No the bare minimum is literally not just fucking sitting in the middle of nature huddled up to a video game. IF you don't see the irony in the act of playing a fucking video game out in nature IDK what to tell you
Enjoy wiping your ass with leaves and drinking your own piss you stupid fucking ape, I'll enjoy being civilized
i ask what the point of you going "camping" is if you're just going to treat it like you're in your bedroom anyway
theres lots of downtime camping, which is something youd know if your fat ass ever left the fucking house. the entire experience isnt one long continuous hike.
very funny being called a fat ass by the dude who can't spend a single day away from his precious vidya gaems
NTA but you’re sitting here policing what some stranger online does while he’s camping instead of doing anything else kek. You’re probably fat or gay.
you inbred, we all know what you mean. It's just that you don't understand what we're trying to tell you, because of your mental handicap
Projection.
This website is one of the most popular on the planet you fucking stupid queer.
The biggest reality check you need to come to terms with is not only are there people here who go outside, there are people here who've had sex, have kids, families that love them, and might even be successful business owners or otherwise wealthy.
This isn't a fucking secret clubhouse you stupid moron
I think you misread the post, anon
I use it quite a bit. Hook it up to the TV sometimes.
Currently playing Oblivion, extra comfy stuff.
I play my Deck almost every night. I work 9-5 and have night classes during the week so I generally when I get home I'm too tired to load up my PC so I just grab my Deck and play in bed for a while before passing out. I use my PC when I have a few free hours or on the weekends
And what games do you play on ur deck?
Anything I want really, as long as the Deck runs it well, most recently I've been playing Haunting Ground and I finished Gnosia and Hellblade before that, Araya and The Bridge Curse as well. I can't remember all of the games I've played but it runs most stuff just fine especially with the new experimental Proton releases. Seven Nights Ghost came out a day or two ago and I'm going to try that when I get home tonight
Because from like 8:30AM to 10PM I'm out, when I get home I would much rather lie in bed and play than be sitting up at my desk.
>for a few hours?
I play for like 45 minutes before going to sleep or passing out, longest I've played was like 9 hours straight when I was really sick, played Alan Wake in one straight sitting and it wasn't uncomfortable at all.
>Too tired to sit in a chair
No such thing.
Sitting in an office chair, maintaining proper posture while using a MKB/controller takes more effort than lying on my tummy in a soft cozy bed
there is no reality where this is more comfortable for long periods of time than sitting upright you gay
Yeah it is, my bed is ultra comfy. Of course I'll play at my PC on weekends or when I have a free night, of course I want to play on my 120+ fps 1440p desktop, but when I come home from work and class exhausted, all I want to do is get into bed with my cat and Deck and play a bit before going to sleep.
you sound gay anon
Oh heavens to Betsy oh no
gay sex is very tiring anon
Well spoken
This.
It literally doesn't.
This, but on your back.
I like to bench-press too anon how much do u lift
your body weight 😉
>when I get home I'm too tired to load up my PC
It's 1 (one) button press. How is that more exhausting for you than holding a steam deck for a few hours?
do you enjoy life at all?
Of course, I already have my Masters I'm taking night classes because I want to, that's fun for me. I'm taking Korean, Abnormal Psychology and Spanish.
Same as me, except I also have 2 kids. Its nice to be able to just pick up and play wherever in the house, and put it down wherever I need to.
motion controls are mostly gay but I do enjoy the tilt fine tune aiming in new games.
My brother has to constantly travel for his job so he plays his deck on a whole 8 hours plane flight.
My Dad is retired so he enjoys his days out in the country and plays on his deck during rainy days.
nobody can hold a deck with one hand though
You're weak.
I work all day with a PC, I want to play comfy games in bed or just not sitting
put a tv at the foot of your bed then, bro
No.
inventing problems to justify buying the "new thing" I see.... interesting
>inventing problems to justify buying the "new thing"
Funny that you would say that after pretending my use of a Steam Deck is a problem that needs to be corrected by purchasing another television.
no bro just use the TV u have kek
It's in the living room on purpose.
"Oh no!!! I want to game in my bedroom but my TV is in the living room!!! I know, I'll spend $300 on a tablet so i can 'ick on my 'eck!!!!!!"
Take your meds.
Bug men have to have everything in one room
T. Bugman with tv + pc in bedroom and an empty living room
Didn't you "solve the problem" by buying a steam deck? How is his suggestion any different?
>Didn't you "solve the problem" by buying a steam deck?
Ding ding ding
>How is his suggestion any different?
He's suggesting it to people who already have a Steam Deck.
No bro im saying save ur money
Already bought it and like it. Nothing to save.
>bro
Sorry but I'm white.
I could already tell ur white based on the fact that u bought a deck
I can play at the same exact point with the suspend feature anywhere. Why would I want to have tvs all over the house?, even more in the bedroom??
i just spent a week living out of my truck and the sneed deck was incredibly nice to have both for gayman and as a general purpose computer. it has pretty much replaced my pc and consoles
>get off work
>play on my PC / TV for 5-6 hours
>get in bed
>play on my handheld for 1-2 hours before sleep
This has been my normal daily routine for years now.
GIWTWM. Having 8 hours of free time after work to game, I reasonably have like 4 or 5 hours max
>rygar
i forgive you for stealing that 'eck
Everytime I go somewhere.
It's actually more convenient to carry a Deck than to carry a separate laptop on top of my work/documents laptop.
I play it while I walk on the treadmill at my gym.
I'm sure you look VERY attractive doing this in public, anon
Go to the gym and show me how attractive anyone walking on the treadmill is. At my gym that's pretty much just the realm of fat latinas.
switch is great for playing monhun with your friends locally
I use it when I'm hanging with my family and we're all just sharing space while doing our own thing. I also just kind of prefer handhelds in general. Always have
By your family do you Eman your wife's son and her boyfriend?
got it cause i had to travel for months and i had an amazing time with it, now that i'm back home i hardly ever turn on my pc if not for work related reasons. i play ps5 for big games that would benefit from the big oled screen and everything else on the deck, emulation included. i'd love an upgraded version with a better screen
>how often do you even find yourself finding the opportunity
More often than I do anything else. The sleep feature makes it much less of a commitment.
all the time. Its great when youre cozy on the couch or in bed, or on the shitter. Lately Ive been posting up in the back yard playing DQ
I have a deck and I never take it out of my house. I live in a bad area full of thieves so I don’t even use my phone in public. I live with my gf and the deck makes it easy to hang out with her and play games while she watches retard TV like Below Deck and Hells Kitchen reruns. I use the deck more than my PC these days even though I don’t use the deck portably and rarely ever move it from next to my couch unless I want to play in bed.
its the secret. Theres always conversation of "why is playing on my phone okay but playing on my console/pc 6 feet away isnt" and Deck/these UMPCs have it all figured out. Gabe probably created the deck so he can still play final fantasy 14 while he and his wife attend those hedonism festivals
> Gabe probably created the deck so he can still play final fantasy 14 while he and his wife attend those hedonism festivals
What’s with Ganker and every woman being non faithful kek. Every board is /LULZ/ now.
>unfaithful
I never said that. I said Gabe wants to play vidya while he and his wife go to those hedonism festivals. That interview where hes wearing all white in new zealand is from he and his wife going to some kooky sex festival
The deck butchers backlogs. You'd be surprised how much more time you find to play games with a handheld.
I play mine at work and at bed. Good times.
We will be stuck with Wii U graphics for another two decades because Nintendo held developers back, having to keep nintendo ports in mind. Look how shit so many ports were across switch and ps5. And it was all to appease normies with the handheld meme even though they dont play them like they did gameboys because FUCKING PHONES WITH INFINITE KNOWLEDGE EXIST NO ONE IS TAKING THEIR SWITCH ANYWHERE
I mostly play games on my Switch Lite these days.
PS5 is collecting dust and my PC is pretty much only for work because the GPU is low tier.
I never hook my switch to the tv because I never play multiplayer games.
I use my Deck/Switch as my main systems on handheld mode only. Not really interested in TV gaming, in fact, now that I think of it, I really only own a TV because my dad visits once and a while and likes to play Switch on it.
Its perfect for gaming in bed. It made me play games again.
I almost exclusively play in handheld mode, I in the couch, want to play privately and have my own fun. I love it it's super comfortable. Upgraded my shit joycons with gullikit joystick and it's working wonderfully well now.
