The kind of idiot that boasts about “system tweaks” and “audiophile headphones”.
unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 5 weeks 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
jacksilver@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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.

But at what cost!
WhiteBurrito@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Just get an ROG Ally at that point

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
Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
He should choose better games then.
Comrade_Spood@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
My thoughts exactly
LordWiggle@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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 5 weeks ago
Why bring mouse+keyboard when the steamdeck has it’s own control and takes less space?
CoopaLoopa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
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.
riodoro1@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I mean it was probably consensual so the only person I feel bad about is the kid.

steamdeck
windows
I think this is an offense worthy of capital punishment
taiyang@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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.
Amanduh@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
It’s the woman’s choice to get an epidural or not though…
Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
He did say he played Tarkov.

Block out your annoying wife’s contractions with these Audiophile Headphones™.
abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks ago
Windows
Dragonfruit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks 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
SomGye@dormi.zone 5 weeks 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.
moonburster@lemmy.world 5 weeks 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
nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 5 weeks ago
I’m betting that it can drive 250Ω headphones. Verifying.
archonet@lemy.lol 5 weeks ago
Impedance and audio quality are not intrinsically linked.
olafurp@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
There are good headphones that can work with a headphone jack.
Shameless@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Why would anyone brag about any of this. His poor partner.
BigPotato@lemmy.world 5 weeks 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.
princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks ago
I mean the headphones make much more sense than the keyboard and mouse imo.
EndofLife@feddit.org 5 weeks ago
Right… I hope this isn’t the begining of a shitty broken home and the birth of lost soul.
fossphi@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
Engagement/rage bait. Or maybe it’s just satire?
Hotzilla@sopuli.xyz 5 weeks ago
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.
TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Le setup. I love these guys posting their balls like this
mlg@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Windows on steam deck
Explains the behavior lmao
amon@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Windows on steam deck Is blasphemy
Muaddib@sopuli.xyz 5 weeks ago
Who the hell puts Windows on a Steam Deck? What a loser
Oh and he’s not being present with his wife
2ugly2live@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
He’s didn’t bring a second controller. Divorce.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 weeks 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.
LiveLM@lemmy.zip 5 weeks ago
For me it’s the bit about bringing almost a whole desk setup instead of using the portable as a portable
Natanael@infosec.pub 5 weeks 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
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks 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.
IceFoxX@lemm.ee 5 weeks 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
SippyCup@feddit.nl 5 weeks 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.
Deralax@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
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.
Vivendi@lemmy.zip 5 weeks ago
I see this as an absolute win for Linux
rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks 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.
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 5 weeks 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.
riodoro1@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Can’t run it on linux? Can’t run it at all.
boonhet@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
Isn’t it also… Ridden with filthy cheaters? Lol
Dettweiler42@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
It’s almost as if kernel level anti cheat is no match for heuristics and more secure game code.
GoodEye8@lemm.ee 5 weeks 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.
the_q@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
Lol Windows.
pastel_de_airfryer@lemmy.eco.br 5 weeks ago
If only there was a device that combined the Steam Deck with a keyboard and a 14" monitor. Like a Steam Deck that is designed to sit on top of your lap…
Marty_TF@lemmy.zip 5 weeks ago
installs windows, instantly requires system tweaks and performance upgrades.
livingcoder@programming.dev 5 weeks ago
I don’t know how some people find the time to do anything but help take care of mom and the baby. I was either sleeping or helping while trying to find time for food.
pappabosley@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
Hoping he means just for the labour, not the whole 9 months
TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
What an odd way to spend ten months.
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Extraction shooter, but it’s getting extracted from the womb.
HeyJoe@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
This is the kind of setup that once it’s complete you smile at how awesome it is, then pack it up because you don’t know what you even want to play and most of the games I do I wanna play i wanna play on a better monitor.
Bruhh@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I thought this was gonna be a joke about Windows on Steam Deck but holy fuck everyone needs to mind their own business.
mesamunefire@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Not my ideal setup but happy he’s happy.
Majorllama@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Playing Tarkov on a screen that size might as well be impossible lol.
Imagine trying to spot killa power sliding across the halls of interchange in the dark fog from 150 meters out. Good fuckin luck lol.
NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
That poor woman
Having to deal with a guy who uses windows on his Steam deck
cm0002@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I would hope she would have known about his red flags before the baby lolol
Jyek@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
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.
endeavor@sopuli.xyz 5 weeks ago
You can. I just played until level 36 and uninstalled.
