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.
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.
Because some of us leave the house from time to time and it’s kinda hard to fit a desktop PC, monitor and keyboard in my backpack so I can play games on my lunch break at work. Much less a car or a plane.
This is going to be pretty shocking to you, so brace yourself…Some people actually leave their gaming chairs to go into other rooms in their home. There even some folks, (this will really blow your tiny mind) who actually leave their homes sometimes but still want to play games!
Those are the strange creatures that like to play games even though they are away from their main PC. Now pick up your jaw off your Cheeto-covered gaming desk and pipe down, the adults are talking.
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 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

People who touch grass tend to enjoy it.
