Hmmm looks good but I never liked buying consoles day 1 so I'm torn
Good news, this is not a console!
Does it sound better if I say I usually don't want to risk it with first batch hardware?
That sounds very reasonable, actually.Does it sound better if I say I usually don't want to risk it with first batch hardware?

Sweeney can't talk shit about SteamDeck because he supports the Switch and makes money off Fortnite on it. Talking shit about the Deck will make him look like a giant hypocrite.
But you know he wants to say something bad. You can just see him being so angry he can't lol
oh no
This calls for a branded steamroll of toilet paper.Maybe if I get a Steamdeck I will finally dive into the expanded free trial of the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV allowing me to play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award-winning Heavensward expansion for free with no limit on playtime because I can play it while on the toilet
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!! (in the linked post)

~~ ABOUT THE CONTEST ~~ As we all know, the mark of a true forum warrior is a sick sig. It commands respect, authority and is a beautiful field of self-expression. With this small and completely not serious contest, I'd love to bring a bit of that vibe back into our lives and experience that...metacouncil.com
Haha, thanks lash
Much better at promoting this than I am.
I second that, or at least I'm tempted... hrm, but I'm also tempted to get electric scooterRegarding Steamdeck:
I don't get the decision to use 16:10 aspect ratio for the display...
Hmmm maybe a factory needed to get rid of them, haha. I just hate to have black bars appearing when a game somehow doesn't support that ratio. I also dislike the iPads ratio for video content.maybe cheaper panels?

I think Sony completely gave up on portables after Vita, and I don't see them coming back.Its still so crazy to me that Valve was able to beat out Sony/Xbox to a handheld device in this Switch success timeline. And those 2 companies make billions charging people for online play and partnered with AMD for a long time too.
I get Valve has OS and backwards compatibility advantage within the PC space but still no excuse Sony didn't make a PS4 portable with how massive that platform became. The hardware is there and the Deck is proof heh. And Xbox BC is great too. It makes sense for them to make something but Valve is the one to actually do it lol.
Easy solution to that, Valve just needs to use an OLED panel.yeah, that wouldn't be ideal, lol
Probably cheaper to source them.I don't get the decision to use 16:10 aspect ratio for the display...
And I surely hope Nintendo is sweating. There is a dire need of healthy competition in the handheld realm. With Steam Deck, I truly hope Nintendo will be pushed to deliver a better Switch variant next time.Its still so crazy to me that Valve was able to beat out Sony/Xbox to a handheld device in this Switch success timeline.

Muramasa and SteamPal news all in one night? We might be going into lockdown but at least it's not all doomposting.![]()

Don't think Microsoft really cares about expanding their gaming audience to a specialised handheld device, not when Gamepass already covers all Android phones.

If this sells a tenth of what the Switch manages I'd call it a success. I don't think Nintendo will be too concerned.And I surely hope Nintendo is sweating.

Same people will also say Valve rests on their laurels and does nothingSo I left our little bubble to check what the perception of the SteamPalDeck is and I was surprised by how many people had no idea about Proton being a thing.
The Steam Deck is an enthusiast device and won't be in the same universe as the Switch as far as sales go. It looks like a cool toy and I'm getting one, but it's going to mostly be a niche thing.And I surely hope Nintendo is sweating. There is a dire need of healthy competition in the handheld realm.

10% of the Switch would be 8.5 million units and I think Valve would be over the moon if they sold that many.If this sells a tenth of what the Switch manages I'd call it a success. I don't think Nintendo will be too concerned.

Nintendo budges for nothing but itself. They've got their blinders on and will keep on doing what they do regardless of what happens![]()
