Yeah but can it play Sengoku Rance?

It can play porn, good enough for me.

I'm actually surprised how many games have profiles, like FFXIV a few tried

The question is, do you want to really try to play with this

I really like my Steam Controller but man some of the controller configs I've seen out there are just so fucking unbelievably autistic. Not that I don't appreciate the extensive efforts Valve put forth to make any controller work as well as it possibly can with any game, but hoooooooooooooooooooooly moly some configs are just impenetrable.

Also, what's with that playtime? Why does he have 12+ years worth of hours?

It may be a combined total of all users of that configuration. Or maybe someone is in fact the most autistic person alive.

I mean more "go anywhere" streaming. Unless i misunderstand steam link (which is think is similar to Remote play on Vita, right?)

yes steam link. there's an app you can get on your phone and it works if you have a decent internet connection.

the main problem with the PC gaming and this is that everything portable or has it own OS or is android, PC for the complete experience you have to die on Windows that everyone here know is absolutely garbage, Cucksoft should make a barebones Window that run games to gain that mobile market that they tried on vain to get when they released Window Mobile and was masturbating themselves with Nokia

Based Nintendo allowing indie devs to flourish without enforcing Jewish copyright law over the use of their characters. Katamari meets Monkey Ball in a surreal world, 9.5/10.

Nintendo is probably the most Jewish about copyright law out of any major video game company.

Watch the revision of Steamdeck include LED lights so the buttons and contours glow.

And be made of some artificial rubber that melts in five years as an ode to it's predecessors.

Isn't five years a pretty good lifespan for a modern PC laptop?

"surely it will be supported for many years and not just abandoned by valve and has to be supported by the fanbase, right?"

It's a PC, what do I care about "being supported by the devs"? And fans creating additional content is only a positive, isn't it? I already download mods and community fixes for games all the time.

Is this the mind of a console gamer?

Once there are pictures and videos of Nintendo emulators running on this thing I expect the Tendies to start mass reporting dolphin and others to nintendo itself and will create a big shitstorm.

I really don't understand this current obsession with making these massive and expensive handheld devises. Way too big and heavy to be considered "portable", too pricey to risk using outdoors. Imagine accidentally dropping one of these things on a concrete floor or getting mugged for it. ( Anyone who buys this to play it while riding on public transportation is asking for it).

At this point these devices feel more like hardware engineers going "look what we can do!" yet nobody stopped to ask if this is worth making. This feels more like a product for tech consoomers that buy every new device that comes out and for tech review youtubers and no one else. If the device is only good to play indoors then might as well play your Steam games on a proper full sized computer.

To say something positive about it I guess this will push for further development of Proton which will help break up the near monopoly of Windows as the default PC OS for gaming.

The price is crazy. And it's just going to become another emulation device anyway.

I'd rather just buy a new PC. Which I need to anyway.

For the hard disk alone maybe, but with today's ssds that's pathetic unless you're constantly filling and wiping the drive for an intensive task. Other parts should not last that little of time. If you're talking hardware wise as in computing power five years is bad if you bought high end hardware. These days upgrades aren't as consistent and you could probably run big games for at least 10 years at decent graphics. I've had the same hardware in my desktop for five years and the only issue has been disk space and disk reliability. For a laptop this has been similar in my experience.

Yeah, desktop. Desktops last. I wasn't really commenting on the improvement of hardware rendering old PCs obsolete but rather the build quality of laptops with their constrained heating solutions.

I don't know, I don't use laptops much. But all my friends who have them seem to be upgrading every couple of years and/or constantly cursing how they're breaking down. The only ones that seem to hold any value are MacBook (Pro)s. Though I don't know if that's old news now too, when I last had a MBP they still had upgradable RAM for god's sake.
