Steam deck is my only device. I have the 512 oled and am very happy with it. I know other people for whom it’s their only device, I don’t think it’s uncommon. Obviously we have phones, but either don’t need a computer or use one at work and don’t want one at home. Plus the steam deck is a linux computer in a pinch.


You’re saying I should take the jumper cables off the - uh, the guests in my basement? TBF the screams are aggravating, and my electricity bills don’t seem any lower.


Didn’t he buy a massive yacht on the same day steam announced these products? It can’t be easy to sneak a superyacht under the publicity radar, but he seems to have pretty much managed it.


I hope so, it would be very convenient. I know there are a fair few 12v and 24v monitors around, I’ve been looking.


Well that’s great news, thanks. Yeah most of my system is 12v, running off a big ole lithium battery which is charged by solar panels. I can do 220v via a 1000w inverter, sounds like this could run a steam machine. Food for thought! Though I’m kinda interested in the steam frame too, waiting to see what the prices are like.


My main issue is how much power it needs. Due to my living situation, I’ll be able to run it only if it needs 1000w or less. I doubt it would be feasible to replace the power supply with something that takes 12v DC. We’ll see. I’m doing okay with my steam deck anyway.


Yeah I have a gaming laptop and I haven’t used it since I got a steam deck.


I didn’t know ‘abomination evolver’ was a game category but it sounds great!


Hurrah! I don’t download much - I don’t have a lot of screen time and I tend to play games slowly - but I also have slow internet, this is great for me. Don’t know why steam deck didn’t do this before but I’m glad it will now.


Cyberpunk. I started it a few months ago, got bored about ten hours in and put it down, played Prey (which was fuckin great!) then I went back to cyberpunk and got the taste. I’m almost 200 hrs in at the mo and loving it. Got a couple more jobs to do then I’m starting the Dogtown stuff. Impressive how well it plays on steam deck.


That looks pretty versatile. I guess people are still wary of unity after they shit the bed a couple of years back? This seems like a plausible alternative.


Given the state of my teeth, I’m not far from that anyway.


Market gardening isn’t so bad, people gotta eat. But yeah, if you’re cutting lawns you’re going to suffer when the economy shits the bed.


GTA Bangkok you’d be stuck in traffic the whole time. The tuk tuks would be cool though.


I’ve had several times a cat has run out in the road in front of my car, and would have gone under if I hadn’t stopped quickly. Happily I’ve not hit one, few close calls though.


Are there enough users here to make that worthwhile?


At least he got a response. A while ago I clicked on a bad link when drunk and lost control of my Facebook account. Zero response from meta. Wankers. It’s unfortunate, I’d like to delete the account as there are some unfortunate photos of me on there from way back. I guess I will forever be visible wearing my ex’s lacy underwear and gripping a can of strong cider. Ho hum.


I’m guessing the noose wasn’t only for the benefit of outsiders. Most communities probably had one or two selfish people.
Honestly, I don’t think there’s much difference. My mate has an LCD, deck, we’ve put them next to each other and they’re both good. Maybe the oled is a bit better in bright rooms. If price is an issue I think you’ll be fine with the LCD.
