I'm not sure what you expected the Steam Deck to do?
Play games for him, without his input.
Yeh, I just cant figure out how to make it do that for me! :D
It does what I "expected it to do" I think it comes down to the fact that I thought I would use it more but I find it uncomfortable to use.
In general I don't get on so well with handhelds, I just hoped that this one would be the change in that, I loved the vita and used that all the time but every other handheld I've ever owned I never really used bar the aforementioned vita and the neo geo pocket colour way back when.
Mine is mostly hooked up to my lounge tv via a dock and using my steam controller. Gets me out of my work room.
If you have a cool living room setup (nice tv/sofa/soundbar) the dock is a must have!
I never saw the point in wasting my money on a dock when it takes me 15 seconds to just plug my laptop in with a HDMI cable and have more power and compatibility. G
Well, in my case, my Steam Deck is way more capable of running games than my laptop, so the point of a dock would be to play games on a bigger screen. I mean it seems kind of self-explanatory, no?
I said I don't see the point in wasting my money not what the point of a dock is......
Id say they're probably someone that never had a handheld, because lately I've been using it more than my desktop lol
Yes, zen2 + 16-ddr5 + nvme With my 16 inch
drawing tablet makes it
Viable on any Linux for
a very long time.
I'm not talking bout
Cost effect either I will
Rock this setup until
I see something better
And that is going to take
6 to 8 years, I think.
Anyony calling it a paper weight /brick is a troll
And I doubt ownes one.
What the fuck is with the formatting? I kept trying to read it as a poem or song.
Nah I had and used my vita all the time but I think it is because it is a handheld and I don't get on so well with them in general.
I think its all about the games you choose! For example, survivor games like Vampire Survivors, Halls of Torment, Soulstone Survivors are super fun to play on the deck.
My spouse is also using it as emulator device so he's been playing many ps1/ps2 games on it.
Halls of Torment is actually one of the games I have played on there, I also did the same and set it up with a load of emulators but I think I enjoyed setting it up more than playing any of the games as I haven't really put any time into any of them.
The other thing I did play on there was Skate 2 but emulating that caused it to get really hot and absolutely chore through the battery in no time!
The reason I have been hanging on to it is in the hope I find a jrpg or something as that is what I used my vita for the most but nothing has really come up that I want to play as of yet. I had been considering putting Disgaea 6 on there recently but haven't ever gotten around to it.
I recommend trying the first two Personas to start if you haven't played those yet
I played and absolutely loved P4G on the vita but I couldn't get into the gameplay loop in P3P. The story was super interesting but the gameplay itself was repetitive and boring as it didn't offer as much to do as you got in P4.
Do you think the first 2 are worth playing having had 4 as my first persona game?
Play Persona 5 Royal if you haven't played it yet. They're all separate stories, so the order you play them in doesn't matter.
One of the best jrpgs I've played in decades.
5 has been on my list to play for quite some time I just never got around to it. :D
Like said previously you don't have to play them in order. All the personas are great games to play on handhelds, I recommend it 100% (just be warned that the first persona isn't was good looking as the other ones, but still a good game).
I'm so addicted to halls of torment right now!!
My desktop PC sits like 3 m away but I haven't played on it since I got my steam deck. Playing in bed, on the sofa or even on the toilet on the steam deck is so much more fun! In the summer I would just lie in my hammock outside and play for hours. Such a great time :)
I know right? I was addicted on trying to get all achievements hahah
