Are you buying a Steamdeck?
-
of course
-
yes
-
Yep. I’d love to play Spyro on it.
-
Understandable, PC is the only platform where you can play Reignited in 60fps
-
-
Q2 2022
-
everything is sold out forever
might be able to get a ps5 or steam deck in 2030
-
It looks so tiring
-
lift nigga
-
Holy shit, lay off the fucking donuts
-
-
I’ll buy one if I see a later gen model for cheap second hand for emulation and trolling Ganker on the bog
The deck isn’t actually what is important. What is important are the changes it will bring about for SteamOS. Once that’s ripe, bye, bye Windows. Forever. After while we’ll finally have flying cars and Dragon’s Dogma World on the moon. The great GabeN in the sky deems it so.

yes
-
yes, i want to play paradox grand strategy titles on the pooper
-
Sitting on the shitter for more than 10 minutes gives you haemorrhoids.
-
which i probably already have, so np
>t. sometimes there’s blood when i wipe but fuck going to the doctor hahaha-
>t. sometimes there’s blood when i wipe but fuck going to the doctor hahaha
sounds like you’ll never get to buy one unless you reserved within the first 10 minutes lmao
-
-
i spend half hour minimum on the shitter and no haemorrhoids here
-
-
-
Yes
-
No, I’m not buying a steaming upper decker.
-
If i sell my old laptop yes
-
I already have a Wii U.
-
steamdeck more like poopdeck lol
-
yo-ho and a bottle of rum
-
-
only if I can install Windows 11 on it
-
I see no reason to whatsoever. I barely leave the house, and I have a 3080 gaming PC. What would I even want to play on something like this that I can’t play on my desktop with a full M&K or a XSX controller?
-
Does it play Artifact 2?
-
Who the fuck plays factorio with alt mode off
-
Nigga do you see an alt button on that thing?!
-
It has 4 mappable buttons on the back.
-
-
more like who the fuck plays factorio with a controller, why would you do that to yourself
-
-
yes
my plan for Q1 2022 is as follows
>sell my RTX 2070 laptop
>get a deck for mobile play and lan parties
>get a 6800XT or 3080 for my desktop
>get an iPad for mobile work and media consumption
basically three separate devices for different tasks-
that sounds like my ideal setup, you’ll be living the dream
-
-
maybe at some point but not right away. Can they hook up to televisions and use like wireless xbox controllers by chance?
-
yes, its basically a full fledged miniature computer. you can set the TV as a second monitor or mirror the display onto the TV
-
fuck yeah, that’s a deal sealer for me right there. I mostly want a good portable emulation machine.

How it will be works with more graphical demands titles like Cybershit?
How it will be works with games which base mainly on keyboard and mouse?
How about exclusives? It will have something which I cannot access on PC?
How much I will need to fight with configuration of WINE on that (it will probably have a linux – Steam OS)
How much it will be costs? I saw that this will be 450$, and don’t forget about worldwide lack of semiconductors, which can increase the price.Literally I don’t see a reason why I would need to buy that instead of good gaming laptop… and if I want to play mobile, I would play on my switch/buy tablet.
-
as if you could afford one, esl
-
>How it will be works with more graphical demands titles like Cybershit?
according to promotional materials, yes. 30FPS on high settings. but its marketing material so they might be embelishing facts.
>How it will be works with games which base mainly on keyboard and mouse?
IIRC it has a touchscreen, and you could easily bind the keys to keyboard strokes. maybe make a buttom me a shift/ctrl/right click modifier.
>How about exclusives? It will have something which I cannot access on PC?
no. its a miniature PC running Linux. anything it can run will run on Linux
>How much I will need to fight with configuration of WINE on that (it will probably have a linux – Steam OS)
depends on game. check protondb website for details, but keep in mind there is a massive proton update scheduled to go with it so thing that dont work now or need tinkering might work better in the new version
>How much it will be costs? I saw that this will be 450$, and don’t forget about worldwide lack of semiconductors, which can increase the price.
$399 for the basic 64GB version
$529 for the standard 256GB version
$649 for the elite anti-glare screen 512GB version -
>How it will be works with more graphical demands titles like Cybershit?
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/steam-deck-benchmarks-60-fps-gaming-experience-reasonable-eye-candy
Deck can run Cyberpunk at high settings and hit 20-30fps. Obviously turning down a couple settings would boost frames.
>How it will be works with games which base mainly on keyboard and mouse?
Steam already has a solution to this with their extensive controller config options. You can rebind controls to anything you want. With the Steam Controller’s touch pads you have several different options for mouse emulation and it works very well.
>How about exclusives? It will have something which I cannot access on PC?
It literally is a PC.
>How much I will need to fight with configuration of WINE on that
Proton, not Wine.
>How much it will be costs? I saw that this will be 450$, and don’t forget about worldwide lack of semiconductors, which can increase the price.
You’re obviously just baiting now. Base model is $400. Top model is $650. The price isn’t changing.If you can’t grasp the concept that a UMPC is more ergonomic than a laptop then you’re too smooth brained to talk to.
-
>if I want to play mobile, I would play on my switch/buy tablet.
but its stronger than the switch and tablets. and the game library is massive since it runs PC games + any emulators which are avaliable on PC. -
>How about exclusives? It will have something which I cannot access on PC?
that is literally going against the point of the deck
-
-
>be Australian

A-At least we’ve got the Index now
-
We don’t? EB took it off their store.
-
-
-
Yes, mine is set for Q1 2022. Impressions from developers who got dev kits have been very positive so far so I’m excited.
-
I’d like to but I can’t trust Valve after they screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January and do not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
-
Based
-
-
>Portability
>When I literally never leave my house -
I want to believe in the deck, but after the failure of Valve’s last foray into gaming consoles I am hesitant. I’ll wait for others to test the waters
-
Valve never tried to make gaming consoles. They tried to start an OEM branding label for prebuilt machines that came with Linux installed instead of Windows.
It was a shitshow because no one took it seriously and their minimum hardware standards were incredibly low.
-
-
no i’m not a child that plays handhelds anymore
-
Hell yeah
-
Nah already have a computer and not really into mobile games.
-
>mobile games.
its literally a PC, it doesn’t play "mobile" games it plays PC games.
-
-
Have no reason to.
-
Yes but not right away gonna see how it performers for the regular crowd, I don’t trust these game Jurnos and Youtubers and what nots telling me they got to it first and it performed good, I want to see it in a long term use, not use in a few hours. I’ll give it about half a year till I get one.
-
lol are you the guy from the other thread who wants to mine crypto with a steam deck?
-
-
Obscure games on Steam will not run on that. F.e. VN – i don’t know why japan is so retarded, but they still use a Media Player in a lot of VN to play a cutscenes – and wine/proton cannot run that (Marco and Galaxy Dragon). Also some games cannot handle a lot things on linux (f.e. Yuppie Psycho has a problems with horror VHS cutscenes). Touchpad is good but not for the all of games, I cannot imagine me playing an Ultrakill with touchpad. A lot will be depended of their launch – how games will be working on this handled.If it will get a bad start, I can imagine that this console will quickly be forgotten.
And without exclusives, Idk, Nintendo also runs a lot of PC games and have his own and console is cheaper, so…
-
Lemme see them reservations

Q1 256GB
considering i’m not going to play AAA games on it that’ll be enough-
People buying this for AAA games would be better off spending the money on a GPU anyway.
That’s not the point of this device

It’s been over a decade since we got a worthwhile handheld. But I still want to wait and see how the SD develops. People also thought the Switch would be amazing but it ended up with barely any games and they all run like shit,
-
>manchild is a passenger of another man’s car

poorfag here, should I buy the 64 gb one or the 256gb one? Will a sd card be as fast as the ssd?
-
>poorfag here, should I buy the 64 gb one or the 256gb one?
256
>Will a sd card be as fast as the ssd?
lmao no
SD card speeds supported by Deck are around 100MB/s of read and 30MB/s write compared to m.2 SSDs which typically get hundreds or thousands of MB/s transfer speeds-
Doesn’t matter

Nah I’m waiting for the Lite version.

This falls apart when you realise you will have to play all games and most games wont even work at all with a fucking controller.

There are games in my backlog I want to play and I want to play them from the comfort of a couch or bed or giant beanbag chair with a cat in my lap when its winter, snowing outside, and a fire in my fireplace.
This lets me make all that happen. So yes.

I will NEVER buy anything that uses Linux
Windows for life
-
You can install windows on it.
From the sounds of things most people will be-
It’s not optimized for Windows, so installing Windows on it would be a waste of time
I shouldn’t have to install anything on it regardless, it should be pick up and play, which it would be if it had Windows on it from the fucking start
But no, Valve has to be snowflakes and use Linux because LE MICROSOFT BAD ffs no one gives a shit we just want to play our fucking GAMES and only Windows does that perfectly OOTB

The aspect I’m most interested in is being able to dock the steam deck like a nintendo switch and play my library on a tv with any controller I want. It’s like a switch but not limited by nintendo’s expensive and small game library or cheap hardware.
-
You can also still use the screen on the device while its docked.
-
any half-decent USB-C hub will do the same job Deck Dock (lol) does at half the price point
-
-
I have a computer and don’t go outside, so I have no need for one.

I don’t go outside, have a computer and am literally getting this to play in bed.
-
I hadn’t considered that.
I may need to rethink my decision.
-
-
-
No. In fact I am coming to the realization that I might be completely done with video games.
Nothing good comes out anymore its all just half baked garbage.
-
No, I don’t care about gaming on mobile devices and don’t really understand why anyone would, really. PC only for me.
-
I can’t wait to play Sonic Generations at 60fps on a handheld.
-
Can I play AA2 on Steam deck?
-
depends on whether it works well under Linux through Proton
if it doesn’t you can always boot Windows up to play it
-
-
The biggest thing the Steam Deck has over the switch are full size analog sticks, triggers and grips like an actual game controller.

Lol. It has severe framerate issues in Wine and runs at 40fps on my 2060 Super.

Whats yours?
-
>tfw no actual first person ascent game ever
It hurts-
I pinged the devs on twitter about it, but I’m pretty sure we won’t get it. Their game world is absolutely fantastic and if you idle the camera zooms in super close; and the texture work even then holds up quite well. It’s tragic that we won’t get a fps patch for it.
-
People have used the free cam to basically get 1st person views, and sometimes the camera gets glitched behind the characters eyes so it’s possible
The game still looks amazing that close

It seems more relevant to me than VR, so maybe, probably. Haven’t booked one yet. I’d definitely end up using it more for older games and emulation if/ when I get one
-
The steam deck feels like it’s carrying the soul of the PSP by being the only handheld system with modern components in a nintendo dominated market. The PSP and Vita’s main attraction was being able to play console quality games on a handheld but they were mostly saddled with lesser spin-offs of their console counterparts of God of War and Uncharted. The Steam Deck actually lives up to that ambition by literally being a decently powerful PC crammed into a handheld form factor. The scalability of PC gaming will be this system’s biggest strength going into the future.
-
Yes, to play my backlog when I have some free time at work, or don’t feel like sitting at the desk.
-
I would but I need a physical keyboard if I wanted a handheld PC.
-
If it ends up being good then yes. If i get put on away work this would be so good.
-
I wanted to upgrade my desktop but then I realized modern games are shit so I’ll be getting Deck instead to play PC games of ye olde on the go.
-
Yeah, it will be pretty comfy to play in bed.
-
I play mostly RTS games so a steamdeck would be useless to me
-
Yeah.
I can’t be bothered to sit at my PC anymore since it just makes me feel like i’m at work, so I’m hoping this will help. -
How well will it work with RTS games? I wanna play pic related on it
-
I really don’t see any point in buying one when I already have a PC. I’m not that addicted to digital entertainment that I would want to bring my games with me wherever I go. Just looks like another Valve hardware flop in the making to me.
-
i mean it’s a handheld pc so you can do stuff other than just game on it
it’s also comfy to not constantly play at your desk. i highly doubt the deck will flop it’s cheaper and more powerful than other pc handhelds on the market.
-
-
I’m considering it but I don’t know much about it. The only console I own from the last 15 years is the ps vita and I don’t use my PC to play steam games either, I only emulate old games. There are a few jap PC games I’m interested in like code vein, nioh, atelier, and more importantly emulating various older games. I might also read some eroge if it’s comfortable to hold the console in one hand and my cock in the other.
I can’t into linux so I don’t know how complicated it would be to set this up and get games running. Last I heard, linux had compatibility issues for games. Will a steam deck run whatever I want it to? -
>factorio on the go
Bro, that shit is dangerous -
Yeah, I need a new switch and I’m excited that this updated version will have full Wii U backwards compatibility, I can finally play Xeno X.
-
Yeah
-
Streaming games to a handheld in my house at any time sounds really cool.
I’ve never been tempted by shit like this but this is the first time.
Imagine playing H games in bed all comfy. -
>factorio with a controller
Come on devs, release a console version so I can play with my pea brained friends who refuse to touch a pc. -
Whats gonna be a good sd card for this thing?
-
Sandisk extreme pro 512gb
-
-
I’m looking through https://www.protondb.com/
and it’s concerning. Even the games listed as working often have some extra complicated adjustments that need to be made for every game, have frequent crashes, cutscenes don’t play, etc. so it sounds like the experience of playing it this way is going to be a lot worse.-
If this thing picks up maybe devs will patch their shit. Although most devs are incompetent hacks, so maybe not
-
Proton is gonna be the biggest question mark here, and I don’t know whether I should be worried or happy about how confident Valve is about it now. As of the current moment, I don’t think that the experience will be as good as many are expecting, but Valve seems to just wipe it off with ”don’t worry, we have made massive improvements to it, it will just werk once you get it”.
Super nice if they get it done, that would be the biggest single step forward for Linux gaming yet, but somehow I have hard time believing it yet.
-
The Deck is one set of hardware, they can easily load custom tweaks of Steam games on launch.
-
I kinda felt like you at the beginning, but honestly, I’ve been really impressed with how they’ve managed to deliver on every other promise they’ve made so far
>It’ll be powerful enough to run even modern games decently
Chink leaks have shown that to be true
>We’ll get anti-cheat working by the time it releases
EAC and Battleye confirmed they bent the knee
That, plus the fact that they’ve been pretty reasonable when talking about it, without trying to overhype it or hide whatever shortcomings it has, makes me confident enough in Valve that if they say they got some souped up version of proton on a private repo somewhere that "just werks", well then, I believe they probably do.
Also yeah whatThe Deck is one set of hardware, they can easily load custom tweaks of Steam games on launch.
said. Might not be pratical to implement for every device that’ll run Steam OS ever, but at the very least it should let the Deck handle the more troublesome edge cases hassle-free.

I want one right now! Stupid Gaben opening preorders so far ahead of launch :(((((
-
I have a reservation, but then I also realized I also stopped using my Switch in handheld and play docked exclusively for years. That was mostly because joycons are pieces of shit and started drifitng, making handheld uplayable.
I don’t know what i’m gonna do now, its guaranteed to collect dust once the novelty wears off and I stick to desktop.
-
/ourboy/ wouldn’t like to us right?

I have one reserved for Q1, and I will probably go for it *if* there aren’t any major bad surprises about it.
>no too common hardware failures, not interested in HW lottery
>Proton doesn’t have to run absolutely everything, but Valve better deliver on the promise that it will be better then than it is now
>??? for random stupid issuesThankfully, at least we have a pretty good idea about its hardware power. I’m not planning on playing the newest AAA games on it, so it should be more than enough for my use cases on that front.

1. You don’t go out in public
2. You’re a low-test beta

>end-2022 if you preorder it now
Fuck it, I’ll just wait a year or two when they’re selling out the last units for dirt cheap to snag one for myself, playing with it for exactly one day and shelving somewhere complaining how I wasted my money
so the same as my Steam controller experience -
I just can’t see a good reason why I would actually buy one.

It’s funny how the west is obsessed with the whole "The Cloud/Digital is the Future" shit but at the same time they want the Physical Retail Marketspace.
Just another failure in the making by a company so out of touch like Valve who think they can do what the Switch does without exclusive games of their own and with no physical media.Another failed toy to be forgotten like the SteamBoxes.
-
yes. I have mine coming in December; will flip that bad boy for so much money on ebay 🙂

I’ll buy it from you for two benjamins and a kiss, deal?

can you play non-steam games on a steam deck since it’s linux or some shit? i wanna play Elona+ on the go
-
it’s a fully fledged PC meaning you are not locked into steam you can play games from any of your game launchers you can also just wipe the os off of it and install windows if you want
-
-
Nah
I own gaming PC and Switch.
I play Switch 95% of the time docked, so SteamDeck aould be waste of money -
I got one reserved for Q1 2022, but I’m not sure if I’ll end up buying it yet.
-
You’re a moron if you don’t buy it
At the very least you’ll be able to sell it for a decent profit

>Likely top tier emulation given there’s no Windows overhead and the potential for updates to the drivers specifically for the APU from Valve and AMD that’s been discussed
Can you explain this to a computer illiterate? Which consoles can I expect this thing to emulate and have it work just as well as playing on the real thing?-
Pretty much every modern emulator has native Linux builds, so I’d bet anything below Seventh Generation (PS3, 360) emulation would be easy. PS3 and Switch might be possible if the Deck is powerful enough, and Wii U will probably only happen if the Cemu devs decide to do a Linux build
-
Not him but I’d guess any 6th generation console and prior as well as the Wii. Maybe the Switch but possibly only certain titles like Metroid Dread, not sure if you could get something like BoTW running well on those specs
-
Honestly, everything that has an emulator available right now should be fair game (except for PS3 most likely). I’ve seen some anons be skeptical about its ability to play Switch games, but after doing some extensive testing of Switch emulation on my quite frankly underpowered PC, and considering the speed and frequency at which Switch emulators keep getting better, I have a hard time believing it’ll have any trouble at all running them.
I suppose I shouldn’t make any promises, but I think it’s fair to say Nintendo exclusives, which are all very well optimised, will run without any trouble at all, while more demanding 3rd party games already have native PC versions in 90% of cases. All in all a pretty good deal I’d say, in perspective.

No. Also that looks uncomfortable as fuck.

No. Imagine paying hard-earned money for sub-par laptop hardware and tiny screen.

Hell yeah playing factorio at work can’t wait

I’m going to make it my primary personal travel device when traveling for business.

Yeah, it will make a nice compliment to my desktop and switch.
-
but can it run rimworld with a million mods
-
Nah. It looks really cool though.
