Nah, not mocking anybody. You’re good!

Honestly, one of my favorite parts of the Deck is being able to stream games like CP2077 from the PC to the deck with Moonlight/Apollo. Even if the Switch 2 could play it better than the Deck natively, it definitely can’t beat my desktop. 😁

Sure, absolutely. But those aren’t Nintendo games. 😁

Sure, but Switch 2 encryption isn’t broken yet, last I checked. Also the Switch 2 is beefier than the Steam Deck, I doubt the Steam Deck will emulate it well.

That’s what I meant by “newest.”

In fact, you can play more Nintendo games on the Steam Deck than you can on the Switch 2. Just not the newest ones (yet).

Fuck yeah!

I had installed it anyway and it had some pretty severe texture issues, I’m looking forward to trying it out!

That’s a shame. Maybe when I need to replace these I’ll hunt down old stock of the same products.

Man, I’ve been using the same Logitech mice (two of the same model) and headset for like eight or nine years now. Still works great.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Planning on buying a SteamDeck. What should I know before purchasing? ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Depends on the game. For example, on the Xbox Series X or PS5, I often elect for better graphics (raytracing, 4K, etc) at 30fps, especially with third-person titles where you can really appreciate the scenery. God of War Ragnarok in 4K with raytracing is a sight to behold on a big OLED TV. But some games (most first person titles, racing games, and perhaps surprisingly Diablo 4) I prefer the higher framerate.

If I were a squijillionaire, I’d have a 5090 and get both framerate and fidelity. But I am not. I am a humble console peasant taking his earliest steps in the PC gaming world.

Oh I forgot about WiFi 6E. Suuuuuper good for streaming from your PC.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Graphically intense games can be good too, especially in bed, streaming from a PC in the other room.

An etched screen protector can help, but isn’t as nice as the native etched glass. The underlying screen is the same OLED as the 512GB, I believe.

The OLED model is also just better. Got a few minor upgrades other than the screen. Faster RAM, better battery life, slightly lighter. Maybe some other changes.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Planning on buying a SteamDeck. What should I know before purchasing? ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
You can get an etched glass screen protector that emulates the effect. The one I got isn’t as good as the base screen (which is essentially perfect), it has a very small amount of color scrambling if you look really closely due to the nature of the etching, but it’s not bad and I got used to it quickly.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Planning on buying a SteamDeck. What should I know before purchasing? ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
That’s fair, but I can tell you from experience there’s no way it’s going to fall out during the lifetime of that elastic. I say this because it’s mildly annoying to extract it (which, admittedly, isn’t an issue with a dedicated pocket).
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Planning on buying a SteamDeck. What should I know before purchasing? ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

I think not having room for the charger is a valid complaint.

It fits great in the elastic-covered spot on the back, especially if you use something like this.

Get the 1TB with the etched screen if you’re considering it. It looks fantastic, and works great when not indoors. Like, in a car or airplane for example. I was debating between it and the 512GB because I often prefer a glossy screen, but the effect is small yet mighty.

Also, get Moonlight on your Steam Deck and Apollo on your PC. You can stream games from your PC with Apollo to Moonlight at much higher quality than Steam’s own streaming system. I send 1440p to my deck so after chroma subsampling I get fully defined 1280x720 pixels. It looks significantly better than just sending 1280x720 or 1280x800 to the Deck.

And finally, pick up Geometry Wars 3. It’s like the perfect pick-up-and-put-down game for the Deck.

Hmm.

This sucks for TSMC, but I have a hard time being upset that humanity’s ability to make better processors will expand, especially given the vulnerability of Taiwan. But I don’t really know enough to have a firm position on this.
