  That poor woman

  Having to deal with a guy who uses windows on his Steam deck

    Can’t play tarkov on steam deck without windows or moonlight and moonlight over hospital wifi would be worse than tarkov natively over hospital wifi.

      You can. I just played until level 36 and uninstalled.

  What idiot would install windows on a steam deck. Defeats the whole point.

  source

  • StitchIsABitch@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    The kind of idiot that boasts about “system tweaks” and “audiophile headphones”.

    source

    • unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      His “audiophile” colleagues would also murder him for plugging them into a 20 cent onboard DAC chip and still calling it an audiophile setup

    I did install windows on a microsd to play some online games with my steamdeck. It’s a so-so experience, but at least means you can literally play anything on the steamdeck.

    Guessing that his game of choice didn’t work on Steam OS

    That said I wonder about the frame rate—this game is notoriously demanding/heavy AFAIK

      He should choose better games then.

    It’s probably because he’s playing tarkov

    source

      Tarkov runs on linux tho.

  Poor woman. Having a baby with some weirdo who installed windows on his steam deck, who brought his gaming setup when you’re in labor. Idiocracy was a prediction, not a comedy.

  • Hiro8811@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Why bring mouse+keyboard when the steamdeck has it’s own control and takes less space?

      FPS?

      EFT has like 100 different keybinds for every type of movement and action. Not uncommon to have ctrl, alt, and shift all set as different modifiers for 5-10 keys.

  The kind of guy who installs Windows on his steam deck is the same kind of guy who won’t let his wife get an epidural.

    It’s the woman’s choice to get an epidural or not though…

  Block out your annoying wife’s contractions with these Audiophile Headphones™.

  source
• Dragonfruit@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  I’m no audio expert, but I feel like “audiophile headphones” and “headphones you can power directly from a steam deck” are probably mutually exclusive

  source

  • SomGye@dormi.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Not necessarily, some high-end headphones manage to have a low resistance and high sensitivity combo and are easy to “drive” without a dedicated amp.

    source
  • moonburster@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I use planar headphones which are not too bad to drive, but most of the time I need some extra power. The deck actually is capable of blowing my eardrums out still

    source
  • nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I’m betting that it can drive 250Ω headphones. Verifying.

  • archonet@lemy.lol ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Impedance and audio quality are not intrinsically linked.

    There are good headphones that can work with a headphone jack.

  • BigPotato@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I can see bringing the Deck, like you might be sitting there for at least 24 hours, you don’t need to be sitting there holding their hand the whole time…

    But the keyboard? The mouse? The HEADPHONES? It’s not like you’re in an extended stay. You’re getting that baby out and going. You don’t need all that.

    You guys have clearly never had kids. It almost never goes like in the movies, you rush into hospital, and then you wait. Especially if the water broke, then you wait few days. There is absolutely nothing to do in the hospital.

  Who the hell puts Windows on a Steam Deck? What a loser

  Oh and he’s not being present with his wife

  source
• Kolanaki@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  I like how everyone is giving shit to the dude for “not being there for his wife,” because I remember the OG post from Reddit where OP and his wife were explaining that it was cool, she said it was okay and even encouraged it, and was unconscious most of the time during recovery anyway.

  source

  • LiveLM@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    For me it’s the bit about bringing almost a whole desk setup instead of using the portable as a portable

    source

    • Natanael@infosec.pub ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Yeah seriously use a gaming laptop at that point. The point of the Steam Deck is that it’s compact and quick to put away

      source
  • Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    People don’t realize how much downtime there actually is even in a normal pregnancy. Baby and mama get sleepy. But in something like an emergency C section scenario, especially if the baby is early you could be looking at a half week recovery period for mom and the baby gets locked up in NICU jail for a week… Where you only get visiting hours for your own kid.

    source
  • IceFoxX@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    You shouldn’t just be there because the woman is important to you, but above all the child. From that point on, it shows that he’s not in the mood and is more focused on his hobbies. So he can’t separate himself from his shitty technology at such important events and maybe just read a book or something…

    I feel bad for the kids future

    source

    • SippyCup@feddit.nl ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Bruh newborns sleep a lot.

      So do women recovering from childbirth.

      Most of what they’re doing is sleeping.

      For multiple days, you’re kind of just at the hospital to be support when needed. There’s not a lot to do if you don’t bring it with you.

      One thing is clear about a lot of guys here, and that’s that they don’t have children and are almost certainly single.

  Not to rain on the anti windows parade, but he has to install windows to play Tarkov. You cant play it on linux due to anticheat.

  source

  • Vivendi@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I see this as an absolute win for Linux

    source
  • rustydrd@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Although I understand this on a factual level, I still question the set of priorities that leads someone to install an operating system in order to run a single game.

    Also, his wife must’ve been enthused.

    source

    • PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      I imagine they’re dual booting.

      if they already have a copy of the OS anyways, I totally get it. If you have the resources to play the game you wanna play, any would you intentionally deprive yourself of that?

      But yeah, bringing all that to the hospital is fuckin nuts. God I hope that his wife is a huge nerd too and that this was like a joke between them and he didn’t actually use it during active labor or after the baby was born.

      It’s almost as if kernel level anti cheat is no match for heuristics and more secure game code.

  • GoodEye8@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I think you can play PvE Tarkov because the raids run on your machine (except for Streets). But if you’re already willing play PvE you might as well play SPtarkov which does work on Linux and has a modding scene that offers a significantly better PvE experience.
