I don't need a steam deck I don't need a steam deck I don't need a steam deck

SteamDeck is the best purchase i made in a long while

[–] leachim6@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

Steam deck is shockingly good, it's insane how well they nailed rev1. It's not a perfect device but to get into one for $400 I think they made all the right compromises

Don't do that to them

I friggin love mine. It's a lifesaver when I have to travel for work and am stuck in a hotel or if I want to hang out in the living room or in bed and game. I've always had really good experiences with Valve hardware. Loved my steam link and still have 3 steam controllers too.

You really do though, especially if you're running a 3+year laptop or 5+year desktop.

Will shit. It's tempting but I think I would just continue to use my PC instead. I'm home quite a bit.

[–] CoderKat@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

That's the part that keeps me from doing it. While portability is nice, I have a really great desktop with an ultra wide. That ultra wide in particular is what makes PC gaming really great for me. I think I'd only use it on longer trips, which isn't that often.

Not gonna buy it… not gonna buy it… not gonna buy it

Aw lawd hold me back; I've been battling that temptation for months now while it was at normal retail pricing - a discount is added temptation I absolutely did not need.

[–] rDrDr@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I was so skeptical about it but it has been amazing. Really hard to overstate. I've been travelling a lot and gaming a ton on it and it's just so... nice.
