Are you a lefty?!

Not usually. The mouse just needed a charge

Ah, okay. I was confused for a mo'. I knew you were ambi but I couldn't remember predominant. My lefty kid does everything but write with her right hand, even cutting hair.

Yeah I’m primarily right-handed, but sometimes I switch and don’t realize 🤷‍♀️

Tf is that?

A steamdeck bitchhhhhhh

Steamdeck is a console get out of here fake pc gamer 😂

It’s a Linux computer disguised as a console 😳

How does it run? Can you play online? Does it have access to your entire steam library?

Yes and yes

If money wasn’t an issue, would you prefer this over a gaming laptop?

Yes that’s why I got it. I wanted to play steam games, but not bother with the whole setup

My gaming PC is fucking cooked. Built it in 2018 and it was a fun experience but I can’t do it again lol I was thinking gaming laptop because I need something that I can travel with but heard that those are bad too idk what to do

Dude. Get a steamdeck

Pretty easy to use, most games are compatible, great ps2 emulator, also linux pc.

Minimal complaints here 🤝

15 years ago the idea gaming would be the main reason consumers would buy Linux PCs would have been hilarious. GG Valve.

Does it have vpn compatibility though?

Sir, this is a gaming console.

Sorry I’ll just have a 6 piece with a medium coke

Pretty much every VPN provider supports Linux. Most have native apps, plus openvpn & wireguard are Linux software too. 💯 Possible.

Does steam deck have a native vpn app?

It's Linux, so yes.

Is that the girl from dredd?

Hackers 1995

This is what I was seeing lol I forgot about the scar

She did put PC in quotations.

True 🫂

Do yourself a favor and play expedition 33.

It doesn't run THAT great on the steam deck but it's such a good game.

Okay 🤷‍♀️🫂

Left handed mouse? 🧐

It’s just charging on that side

Came here to ask about that, was feeling triggered 😂. As a lefty, I don't understand most left handed things.

Can you play any game on there? Like Blizzard stuff for example

Is blizzard a steam game?

No it’s a game studio. They make games like Diablo, World of Warcraft, StarCraft

I haven't tried the older ones, but I know wow can run on SteamOS, I helped a friend set it up. It's likely the old ones will though.

Valve's work getting gaming to work on Linux is amazing. I've got over 200 games in my library and I think there are 2 that don't run on Linux.

I looked it up. They seem to run with some workarounds. Pretty cool. Is it powerful?

I've never really used a steam deck for more than a few minutes, I do have Steam running on a couple Linux PCs though.

FWIW Anytime you have a smaller package it will limit performance, but they sell a lot of them. If your looking for 4k ray-tracing uber-PC gaming probably not the best choice, but if the "Switch" form factor is appealing it's a good choice. Lots of manufacturers make them now too, there's choices.

Ah so steam deck is not made only by valve. Many companies do it? So many configurations?

your keyboard is 🔥

but you need another desk and chair … your back will thank you later 🫂💜

Yeah we’re gonna get me a better chair eventually

do it 💺

Getting serious over there! 🙌

Well, technically, you’re absolutely right. It’s definitely a PC, and it’s clearly a gaming one. We could point out that it’s not exactly an IBM-compatible PC, but nobody really remembers those concepts anymore.

Looks slick. Nice battlestation!

I'm doing all my gaming on my steam deck now. Planning on converting my desktop to Linux. Games were the only reason I still use Windows.

very nice!

🤔🤔😆😍😍

This is my gaming setup + emulators 💪😎...

Oh HELL yeah

The best setup for travel 👍
