  While the steam deck is a good device, it and every other modern handheld is designed like the switch which is more of a couch gaming experience rather theb a true portable for playing on the go

    Playing on the go is all I do with mine. Beats the hell out of a laptop.

    I think the difference is that in 10 years when the steam deck is on its final legs, we can still play our games unlike most other consoles.

    It might be a spare laptop, steam machine, or something else entirely. But we will presumibly be able to play.

      I can still play games on my 13 year old PS4, 20 year old Xbox 360, 30 year old N64, etc. What are you talking about? The PS5 is already 6 years old and shows no signs of not being able to play games.

        At least until Sony and Microsoft shutdown the servers for the consoles and they can’t validate themselves anymore.

        If Valve ever stops supporting the SD and you still want to use it so some reason, then just install a new clean OS or just leave it in desktop mode and move on with life.

      True, but thats also true for every other modern gaming handheld other then the switch/switch 2 since they all run windows, linux or android

      Either way doesn’t invalidate my point

    3DS, please come back!! The AYN Thor is trying. It would be cool if valve built something like it. Preferably with the autostereoscopic display. I know it’s a gimic and nobody uses it much, but damn is it a cool gimic.

      I love the 3DS 3D effect. I had that shit on 100% of the time, and have missed it dearly.

    Yup, I take the train and everyone who’s gaming is on their phone or a retro handheld. In the airport is a different story though.

  ROG Ally is measurably better in every category and cheaper

      You can very easily downgrade to Win10 and there’s a sizable community on r/LinuxOnAlly but it’s also Microsoft/XBox so what else do you expect? Still beats giving Valve 45% more money so GabeN can buy another yacht company and sell kids gamble boxes.

      • ampersandrew@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Set your expectations accordingly. ROG Ally is only cheaper until they have to build more with today’s component prices (if they choose to). And it’s not like Microsoft executives don’t have yachts or sell kids gambling boxes.

        I’ve never had a Rog Ally, but couldn’t you wipe the whole thing on day 1, and install bazzite?

        Sounds neat; I just wish they made an SKU where you didn’t have to pay for Windows (before removing it)
