lashman hands on preview!?
I'm not familiar with specs but how does it stack with other gyro tech. Better/worst than PS4/PS5/Switch/Steam controller?

If MS had any sense to them they would be looking to get some sort of Gamepass front end working on Proton. It could be a win win. More Gamepass Subs and another selling point for Valve on this.
Only read the following if you hate yourself (like I apparently do).
Hell, and I am going to hate myself for saying this, if I was Tim Sweeney I would be looking to get rid of the hate boner he has for Linux and be trying to get both Fortnite and EGS on this.
Now I am going to have a shower to wash the filth off me.
I know you can put windows on this, but I would prefer an all in one solution.

Now White Album 2 is going to be the only game in the VNDB top 10 that still doesn't have a proper localization.
The video claims (linked time) that other stores work (whatever that means in practice),

yup, with capacitive analog sticks. if you want, you can enable (or disable) gyro when your thumbs are on the sticks/pads.
That would work as well.
But I was kind of more thinking as more of an app you add to it (I know, I know apps within apps). Just to minimise any possible friction.
Anyway, how long would it take for me to be banned from Era if I go into every thread now and say "Perfect for the Gabe Boy"?
The timing for Valve to do this is so perfect.
Gaming laptops are still a bit pricey for my taste. Some of the new ones with 3050 are like hovering around 800$ and the 3060 ones are around 1200$.
The PS5 purchase is still a 2 years away from me. It needs a much bigger library and slimmer design before I jump.
New PC is something I wanted but there aren't many affordable/feasible avenues to do it. Prebuilts seem to be the way but still very pricey.
So dropping 400$ on a Deck this holiday is really a good solution. And yea 64gb is not a lot but I already made a SteamPal folder in my library and easily put in about 60 games in it that I really want to play handheld. Dark Souls 3 is biggest file size in 25gb. Most of the stuff I would play is very small so fitting many games on the thing isn't a problem. So many jrpgs/platformers that would be prefect for this device are not that large in size.
The thing I worry about with the 400$ version is it will be in highest demand so ordering it could cause a wait till January to ship it. I really want it in Dec the earliest. So maybe that 529$ version is the safest way to go. I have a feeling preorder shit tomorrow will be a giant mess

kinda pissed they didn't call it SteamPal but this is so appealing to me - can't spend that money right now though!

In 3 or 4 years I could see me replacing my PC with something like this. My general gaming needs are pre-dominantly FFXIV and then lots of indie games. A couple of programs for my 3D printer and that is it. This could be a perfect replacement for it. Use it docked with my monitor for FFXIV and undocked for the indie games (another 500 hours in Stardew Valley sounds good to me).
All this talk about Deck, but NierA was patched and Denuvo no more. Any impressions yet?
I like how it's all come together after SteamOS, Steam Controllers, Steam Machines.
Steam Deck is like an all-in-one of those things. This seems like the right move for Valve going forward.

Maybe the SteamPal is a low powered streaming device that supports Steam Link, GeForce Now and XCloud
clearly a sign that muramasa is supposed to be played on itSteam Deck and Muramasa ? Have we entered another dimension ?
You know what is funny? epic Store won't be natively supported on SteamDeck only because Epic refused to develop client for Linux XD
Would the APU be something similar to this one maybe?
Edit: Next GPD Win will apparently use the 5800U (which has 8 cores, not 6, wonder if Valve has set that as baseline too) and the Aya Neo thing uses the 4500U.
The OneXPlayer uses an intel APU.

No, all the known/announced AMD APUs use GPUs based on the (ancient) GCN architecture. The Steam Deck GPU is RDNA2.
More important thing that i just realized is that we might actually get Big Picture update with SteamDeck release.
I’m legit dazed by the combo of Steam Deck + Muramasa anouncements.
I need Valve to support offline playtime tracking.

just wait until Gaben announces Portal 3 in a few hours
This would be a cool way to announce a game with a 3 in it. Any of their games with a 3 in it.

If I was Phil Spencer, I would be fighting my way to New Zealand to try and convince Gaben to put GamePass on Steam Deck.
That combo would be insane.

It will be interesting to see if Valve releases a true dedicated SteamDeck game.
I find it hard to believe they would explore doing this type of hardware without working on some specific game designed for it in the background. Its likely they have something up their sleeve.

DOTA 2 Episode 1
You jest but that's basically how patch 7.00 was presented a few years ago. It was actually quite cool.
Not having a Switch to play SMTV is really eating at me.
Anyway, can't wait to try out the SoR4 dlc.

Yeah, I would love for an overhaul to BPM and the overlay. The menu they are showing off looks like it could easily replace BPM, but I wonder what the overlay will look like.
There have been some weird reactions to this announcement, which is to be expected, but I think folks are both underestimating the demand (e.g. "this will flop like Steam machines") and over estimating Valves intentions with the device.
That said, they do need to work on getting these distributed to folks everywhere. This device could be huge in some areas.

It was already announced, Gabe is on New Zealand but it was somehow at the Valve office for IGN interview and they were showing Portal 2 being played. So basically Portal 3 confirmed XD
If I get 30% from each copy sold - YES.
OP

That B button placement looks awful, but i'll wait to hear more about the device before passing judgement. Will likely never buy unless they have the same kind of steep $5 prices during sales; that they did with links and controllers
Had to stick that last part in there, didn't he? Is this his way of saying exclusives arent harmful? you can play them on steam [deck] at launch
OP
OP
Absolutely. It's a core feature of Steam.
As I said I think that you can't use Epic Store o it without something like Lutris because Epic refuses to do anything Linux based.
Fuck fucking fuck! I could have easily gotten this just a few weeks ago, instead I had to go spend all my money on clothes, perfume and ladies of the night.
It looks like that Reddit post that claimed it would be $399 and have an AMD APU was correct, but the person who posted it deleted the comment. I wonder if he playtested or worked on it?
Microsoft and Sony could utilize Deck to have their own ”Switch”

There's a program called Legendary that is supposed to run EGS titles through Linux. I don't know how well it works though.

Point is that you need to fiddle with it instead just downloading and installing.
At this rate he might realise you can do the same on windows and steam isn't a monopoly... now I'm just talking crazy.
