Because its cooling its components to such a high degree, it vents heat like a mother trucker. Case in point, I played the entirety of Stray on my Steam Deck, and there were times when it nearly became uncomfortable to hold. Also the battery isn't amazing, but that's more or less because batteries haven't really changed much in the past 20 years. That said, just last month I bought a dock for my steam deck.

There's also a chance it won't be compatible with certain games.It's still pretty great though all things considered, and it's on sale. If you think you'll be able to get your money's worth out of it then go for it.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

loafy013 06/29/23 7:55:52 PM #47:	Masked-One posted... It makes PC gaming feel more like console gaming, with a streamlined interface and an OS not wasting power on Windows bloat. But PC gamers say console gaming sucks because it is too streamlined? Nah, I'm just being snarky. Thanks for giving an actual answer. When I think PC gaming, I still picture the old setups of huge ass tower, tube monitor, dot-matrix printer on the side in front of a stiff wooden chair. I know that's not really accurate anymore, but the bulky images in my mind are part of why I never embraced PC gaming. Condensing and/or simplifying it down to a single unit for gaming and I can see the appeal. --- The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact. Everything else, is theory. <cite>loafy013 posted [p:974517443] in Someone ta...

boomgetchopped3 06/29/23 8:02:48 PM #50:	Get it if youll play older pc games and use classic console emulators (ps2 and prior work fine, anything else is not playable) When I got mine I replayed half life 2, and emus for mgs. It was lots of fun though the emulators arent perfect. Cutscenes didnt work right. I also played many unreal engine games perfectly, with lower settings. And of course the super demanding games are unplayable. Im actually regretting mine at this point. I dont really have time for it but I think its a good product. <cite>boomgetchopped3 posted [p:974517582] in Someone ta...
