I have no idea why anyone would want a shittier PC with a tinier screen to play their steam library. It seems totally pointless to me. The only people I know who seem to rave about them are dads who can't get away to game except in half hour increments on the couch. I guess that's better than nothing, but fuck, that's a bleak gaming experience.
"People aren't like me and I just don't get it!"
You know, empathy is a skill you can learn. You may consider working on it.
Hey you do you, I just don't get it.
yes, that's a start
I don't like being tied down to a single location for too long. There are plenty of games that run fantastic on the deck. The screen size isn't an issue because it's close to the face. Sounds like you play demanding games, and that's okay, the deck wouldn't make sense in that case.
On several occasions I wanted to play a game for a while but did not want to sit at my desk to play so I ended up not playing at all. Now, with my steam deck, I often play for 15 minutes to about 1 hour or a bit more from my couch or my bed next to my gf and it's super easy and enjoyable.
If you don't like it, great. Just don't try to shit on the millions of people that do. Cheers.
Its a portable handheld, it's not meant to be a replacement for a pc. You could use it for playing games on a commute or during your lunch break. Nothing wrong with using it on the couch either, sometimes you want to be outside of your room.
Literally viewing this thread while laying in bed with a FFXIV cutscene playing on my Deck right now.
It's so cozy playing stuff on this thing, even when I have an extremely powerful gaming PC less than 5 feet away.
And when I go over to my girlfriend's house, I just bring it with me, instead of having to lug a whole laptop over there and get it set up just to mess around with something casual that I wouldn't wanna run on my phone.
People who touch grass tend to enjoy it.
