I loved my switch. I spent a lot of time with it. But since getting the steam deck… All the things I can do with it, and the cheap games, and even the high end games that I can play, it’s just too good. I beat hollow knight on my PC. I bought a switch after that, bought hollow knight collectors and never played it. Was fully planning on buying silk song on the switch but now I think I’ll go for the steam version.



And I still won’t buy your garbage data collection headset. I saw the day coming well in advance when they eventually forced the login with a meta/Facebook account. I’m not interested in that, and even though they removed it their hand was played. I will not invest in that.


For me, definitely older and indie (old and new). I don’t get a lot of time these days to sit at my PC. Using my steam deck primarily these days is part of the reason I’m playing older games, but seriously I have a problem with steam/gog/name a storefront/ backlogs. I have so many games already, great time to review what I bought because of hype but never played.




He looks like he just finished hearing the announcement for Diablo Immortal.


Right, this is a good point.



I don’t get it, is this just some card faces or…?




Jokes on them, I got burned on a couple early access games in like 2012 or something so I quit buying early access. Wait for a release.


My skepticism is also high on this one. But I’ll give it a chance.



Haha not so successful when your fps is total garbage


2070s here, doesn’t work that well with AAA (or even AAAA games! /s) that well with 3440x1440 resolution :S. But I can easily survive turning the graphics down.


nvidia has been a garbage company for a few generations now. They got to the top, and sat up there enshitifying everything because they have a monopoly on the market. Don’t buy into this shit.


What would make me happy is a way smoother experience with game streaming. With moonlight/sunshine I’ve found it works incredibly well - when it does. I always ran into issues with resolution setting, windows lock screen, power on power off etc. I mean, I’m sure I could figure it out over time but I’m way to lazy, I don’t have time to tinker with that. I just want it to work.

If I could sit on my couch and have a cool and quiet steam deck streaming off my PC in the other room, that would be sweet.


Ya I’m sad to see and exit. Maybe in a year or two I’ll get that sapphire 7900 xtx or whatever it is.




Mine too except for 3440x1440 with 144Hz possible. I hardly get that resolution and refresh rate on higher demanding games


Ok now how do I turn my 2070s into a 5090? 😅



While RT made my 2070s cry in cyberpunk, the difference was way less noticeable than the difference in FPS. I dunno, IMO when you watch some slowed down video or take your time inspecting things, you can tell a bit. But when you’re driving a car and shooting foes you can’t even tell. IMO, not worth $2,000 to improve my ray tracing to not even 144 FPS.


lol this reminds me of whatever that card was back in the 2000’s or so, where you could literally make a trace with a pencil to upgrade the version lower to the version higher.


So if I’m reading these right, these are the same as downloading from an abandoned website but they’ve added drm? Uhhh I’ll pass.


Bought these and got them working on my steam deck. Install with heroic, and in the settings of the advanced tab for the game inside heroic launcher, add a variable named WINEDLLOVERRIDES with the value ddraw=n,b


Mine was jan 2020. 2070 super will not cut it for this game, likely, since cyberpunk2077 with ray tracing makes my 3880x1440 monitor cry ~14-24 FPS.



“the best of all worlds” eh, I dunno. There’s no mention of Linux desktop use on here. I have so many custom games and stuff on mine, how much of a pain with it be to do on this thing? I sometimes make quick tweaks and using the steamdeck shortcuts to use the keyboard and the trackpads just make that so easy compared to something with only joysticks. Also looks to have less buttons overall. I’m not convinced.





Oh no :(. I hope this doesn’t mean some BS with new games and having them be PS6,7,8 exclusive until they come to PC.

No, sony, having titles exclusive to your Sony branded PC won’t make me buy a Sony branded PC when I’ve already got a PC.



The high seas for a PlayStation 6 exclusive release? First, might be a while before piracy on a new console is a viable option, second, an emulator won’t be able to run it for years.


Oh please no. I’m not going to buy an overpriced console just to play their future games.



And they’ll have a locked ecosystem with bullshit exclusives
