That being said, Yang went on to state that none of these improvements would likely be possible for quite some time which means "a true next-gen Deck with a significant bump in horsepower wouldn't be for a few years."

Steam Deck 2 Release Window Teased by Valve

Valve has teased when it might look to release its next iteration of the Steam Deck, which many fans are simply calling “Steam Deck 2” for the time being. Ever since Valve first released the Steam Deck in early 2022, the company hasn’t shied away from the fact that it would one day look to...

Bruh greatest dad duty device. I just follow my son around the house playing while he gets into any and everything. And my girl actually said she likes the steam deck because I’m willing to sit on the couch with her while she watches her stupid shows on tv. I’ve cleared 4 games in the last month that I probably never would have finished if I had to do it at a desk

Every new Dad should leave the hospital with a baby and a steam deck. My kids commandeer every available screen in my house too. Steam Deck solve the problems perfectly.

I have a bootleg version coming from aliexpress

The grips just make the playing experience much better and it's obviously less likely to slip and drop too.

yup looks dope and I like the travel cover so you don't have to carry that big ol carrying case

the only thing I didn’t like is it took a while for me to get used to using the L1/R1 buttons with the case on…it’s a minor adjustment mentally but still lol

Yeah they get in the way of those buttons for sure and you kinda need to press over the case to hit them.

It would be bad if you were playing a game competitively on this device like some twitch shooter or whatever, but otherwise not a big deal.

I still got a dedicated bag for the steam deck that can hold the dock, mobile charger (shargeek), and my astro c60.

Looks kinda like this one (time stamped @ 9:57):

If it makes you feel better, it's really underpowered lol. That's the only issue I have with it. I lowkey feel like I could've just waited for the second iteration since it's apparently a "few years" away.

Like you really need to compromise in every way to get a decent framerate in a current gen cross gen game.

It's a handheld it's no problem most games can get 40fps at least. I play it more than my ps5 and series x because of the flexibility. Game library over 8k plus games and emulation. My kids were playing Kirby Switch on the big screen.

I need to sell these two oled switches

 

[tgu]

I did but never knew how easy it was to throw switch Roms on there

Do you just need the roms or do you need to find bios like files too? I held off on switch emulation cuz I couldn’t find a good source for roms and it seemed like more work to setup

It’s easy you just need the roms and then copying the Roms and prod key to a folder
