Ratchetrockon 03/21/23 4:37:14 PM #17:	steam deck appealed to me till my bro bought one and i saw the size in person. fuck no id rather just stick to a switch for portability. but maybe just me. the only game i'd want to try on the deck is dmc 3 se ubisoft port w/ the style switch and inertia mod but its not really a game i play too much these days. just a quick 30 minute session every other day or so. not worth spending a few hundred for that experience. --- I'm a Taurus.

HBOSS 03/21/23 4:59:15 PM #18:	My other non steam games have taken over mine. Epic/gog/other... Its a great backlog player. Yes i play in 20-35min sessions. I dock for the times i play rpgs or rdr2. I go back & forth statelines every so often. So, having the dock and setting up a gaming console when im not home is fun. My i7-4790k gaming computer from 2015 i built for witcher3, has been down for almost 2 years and i dont even have a running OS on it. I have 4 ssds and a rx5700xt to use on my next pc build. My pc gaming is from this steam deck and a docked 1070gtx laptop from 2017. Frankly, i dont play enough of my backlog yet. --- You don't stop playing because you grow old, You grow old because you stop playing <cite>HBOSS posted [p:972320650] in Should I g...

Trumble 03/21/23 5:01:21 PM #19:	Do you want a PC as well - as in for non gaming PC tasks - or is it just to game on? If you just want it for gaming, or if you plan on getting a powerful desktop PC or similar anyway, go for the Deck. If you want something that can be both a handheld gaming devices and a PC in one, while the Deck can do this with some customization, Ayaneo would be a better pick due to officially supporting Windows and the higher specs. --- The only thing we have to fear is Trumble itself. http://error1355.com/ce/Trumble.html <cite>Trumble posted [p:972320703] in Should I g...

GBH713 03/21/23 8:30:11 PM #24:	What would TC need a non Steam Deck computer for? I don't have one, but I could imagine it replacing my PC, which I basically just use for gaming. If TC needed to do something that they couldn't easily do with their phone/tablet (doing a lot of typing or working on a spreadsheet), they could just use their Deck with a dock. I'd be interested to hear if you think there are certain tasks that TC will specifically need a computer for. --- GBH <cite>GBH713 posted [p:972324638] in Should I g...
