Do you like it? Is it something I can use to play my Steam games on the go, kind of like a Game Boy? (aka, for when I need to go to the hospital, other medical procedures)
I was thinking about a Switch, but I am loving the Steam games and think this might be a better investment for me
@PanickedFoodie Yes, you can play thousands of popular #Steam games on #SteamDeck. It is bulkier than a #NintendoSwitch but the same basic form factor, with slightly more complicated controls that do not detach. It does not have terrific battery life especially on the more graphically demanding titles, but it has one of the easiest interfaces for balancing PC game performance with playability compared to competitors’ attempts to shoehorn #MicrosoftWindows into a handheld.
@PanickedFoodie The store does a good job of highlighting #SteamDeck-verified games as well as titles that are playable with acknowledged shortcomings (like games whose interface is shown in terms of keyboard and mouse, or that require (often community-developed) controller mappings).
You can even turn off the full screen #SteamOS UI and switch to a fairly stock #Linux desktop that runs the #Steam desktop client. Works with onscreen controls or separate keyboard & mouse, too.
@PanickedFoodie I personally absolutely love mine. A game changer for days I want to play Steam games but need to lay down/be flat due to POTS. Any questions feel free to ask :)
