It’s my main gaming device. I love the thing, and if you take the time to really understand and use the massive amount of control and gyro options it’s crazy how good the controls can be for so many different games. Way better than any console, and often nicer than keyboard/mouse. The borderlands games with gyro aiming is the best way to play, hands down. I’ve also heard high praise on some rts strategy builder games with gyro mouse functions. A genre I didn’t think would work well at all without a keyboard and mouse.

Shit yeah it is. I’m nearing the end of my latest playthrough. I probably only have another 40 hours to go!

My time and ability to game has led me to almost exclusively play on my steam deck, and I now game a lot more than I’ve gotten to in a decade.

For the past couple of years (I upgraded to the OLED) I’ve pretty much only purchased/played games that will play well on the SD.

I like many games that are really only suited to a bigger screen or mouse/keyboard, but not enough to get any of them, because I know I won’t be able to play them consistently enough to even remember what was going on since I’d played last.

What if you include the switch games it can play? Hehehe

Actually (even though you sound sarcastic, for the most part), you can buy windscribe on the Google play store. I use the Google rewards apk that gives me bits of change for for use in the play store by taking pictures of receipts or answering surveys. I earn more than $30 a year doing that, and so that’s how I get my windscribe vpn. So, yeah. You can do it without any money.

Windscribe is cheap. Just buy it. Like $30 a year.

Shit. Empress finally up and quit? Or got paid enough by denuvo?

Almost all I do is torrent from mobile.

I use windscribe vpn and enable the setting to block all data not going though it, so there can’t be an accidental leak, and I use the apk Flood to manage my torrents, as it has a lot of nice options and allows me to download files to any folder I’d like.

I own a nice gaming PC. I just never really use it now that I have my SD. Veing able to game anywhere and immediately stop and start my game back up by just tapping the power button is exactly what I needed for gaming. As a “responsible” adult I don’t have a lot of undisturbed straight lengths of time to game at the pc, and if I only have 30 minutes, it’s like it isn’t even worth trying.

These aren’t even games they (warn a brotha) own. Just a handful of games released through adult swim made and owned by other people.

Everyone decided they wanted to have their own streaming and wanted a bigger piece of the pie. That fragmented where to watch and caused old shows and movies to cost way more for streaming rights.

Then Netflix cancels too many originals without proper endings, which passes people off. After that they got rid of password sharing which made it a pain to have a work and home type of viewing experience. Now they’re adding ads. They’ve become shit and now it’s making it a bit harder for themselves.

I’m back on the seas. Once I couldn’t leave my Netflix account set at my work site and my house, then they upped the price and added ads, it’s just easier to pirate anything I’d like to binge. My phone has like 640 GB of space. I can carry my own Netflix, with beer and hookers.

Easy. Next time just download the last percentage first.

Y’all fucked up by not leaving everything on Netflix.

It looks like the cracked version takes more steps to get it to work, though. Downloading extra files and adding the exe to firewall and such to keep it from phoning home.

I can do these all day in windows, but im not familiar enough with proton to make it work on steam deck. There any useful guides that could show how to do it on SD? I half just want to out of spite, rather than for wanting to play the game.

Review bomb tiiiiime!

I have a gaming laptop and yes, you can get a gaming laptop for the same $600-$700 that will perform better than the steam deck, but I seldom used my gaming laptop, between the size, needing a controller or mouse (hate gaming with a laptop trackpad) booting up, needing to save the game yadda yadda yadda and finding a spot to set the laptop, the deck is just loads quicker and more convenient to play. I’ve probably played more games on my deck over the last year than the previous 3 years on my desktop or laptop combined. Between kids/family and work I just don’t have many large time chunks that I would dedicate to gaming. The Steam deck I can pick up and be playing 30 seconds later, then put it back into hibernation just as quick, where it loses around 5% battery a day, so I hardly ever shut it fully off.

Why would you think SD with emulation is preferred when a lot of the emulated games have frame rate and stuttering issues on it? A switch with flash cart would play the games perfectly.
