I know many don’t post in this sub

I’m stoked I’ll have my steam deck soon

[positiveContact]

I've never really been a portable gamer.  We have a switch and it's pretty much permanently docked.  I like using a large display.

Price is better than a mid level gaming computer with similar function for what I do

The switch is getting long in the teeth

I like handhelds

seems like it depends on what you do.  in general, if you discount the portable aspect, it seems like you could build/buy a better performing PC for the money.  but obviously that PC isn't portable.  and if it plays the games you like just fine than who cares?

I like gaming in the hammock, on the couch, etc

The battery life is an issue, and I have portable solutions

How much are they?

[EWW]

$400 - 650.

Can you even plug a keyboard and mouse into it?

May arrive by Friday (FedEx depending)

1 TB SD is also on the way.

Spider-Man is getting great reviews on the deck

Delivery delayed…

Why the hell is it in WHITEFISH, MT after being shipped from IL? I would have thought they would fly it from CHI to SEA

FedEx sucks

[EWW]

They do

I’m now watching performance videos instead of playing with a new toy

The deck vs series s comparisons are nice (considering it’s a handheld that’s got ALOT of support with regular updates)

[EWW]

Compared to PS4

It's on a train, not a plane.  There's a major train line from CHI to SEA that goes right through Whitefish (Amtrak uses the same line, I've ridden it from PDX to Whitefish).

IT’S HERE!

tonight’s goal get things set up and get a couple games running - then fuck around for a bit

Initial reaction: I’m impressed with the build

[EWW]

Vanquish plays flawlessly - I never got around to this when it came out. Picked it up cheap on steam sale

[EWW]

Yakuzu 0 plays really well on the deck

I need to dig in and start up scaling games a bit at some point, but I’m just having fun with it (as I should)
