I reserved one when they were first announced, but by the time my unit was ready to purchase, it no longer appealed much to me. I spend maybe 5 hours a month gaming since I graduated from uni, so I suspect it would be sitting right next to my Index, which I also have touched in well over a year. Still, I’m glad to see that so many people are enjoying it

Same, the hype wore off eventually. I’d rather buy a Steam Controller 2 than Steam Deck tbh

I just got mine and I love it. It is so much better than I expected. This is the only way I will game now. My desktop gpu is an rx 470 4gb, so I have about the same power in this handheld mode.

I have been able to emulate almost everything so perfectly, 3ds has some slowdown when it compiles shaders and the switch can do the same. But this is the console/computer I have wanted me entire life.

According to Valve? Any way to verify that? Not that I have anything against Valve or the Deck, just curious.

I hope there’s a new version in the next few years and it makes games platform agnostic, at least on the desktop.
