Comment on Valve still waiting on a 'generational leap' for Steam Deck 2 - but it's coming
celsiustimeline@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks agoI think people are genuinely looking for a console that doesn’t have all the fuckery of Playstation, but with a stronger brand for itself than Xbox, with the simplicity of Nintendo hardware, that costs under $699.

Yes I am that people. A gaming console media PC that sits still, has rest mode, and can interface with a server for my media, or run streaming apps like a regular ass PC but from the convenience of my couch. Like basically - my steam deck with a hardware upgrade at the expense of portability. That’s exactly what I want and I would happily pay for. Even at $700+, that value is there for me and I imagine for tons of others.

That’s just a gaming PC man. Install steam big picture or whatever its called and voila

It’s literally not, that’s steam running in big picture on an inconvenient setup. No controller wake up, no rest mode, stuck with windows, no convenient app switching, need mouse/kb to do anything outside of steam. Source: have gaming PC that I never use.

Yeah. I could figure out how to make a PC do all that, but I would rather pay for a Steam console that does all of that for me out of the box.
