@xianc78 at least you can still install other stuff. Steam Proton is fucking great though.

@alyx as a vinesauce viewer I have wholly taken on the name of chat

@PhenomX6 @LukeAlmighty don't need to do that with the deck anymore, you can just buy one now. I'm grateful that it was like that to begin with though because it didn't get scalped.

@xianc78 I think there is a reason why it only really blew up with the deck. It's affordable while also being high quality from a company everybody knows. GPD has been around for a while but their stuff was either too expensive or had weird compromises/issues.

I do want to get a deck but I barely play anything away from my pc as-is so I don't think it would be a good purchase for me.

@galena @matrix because they don't want to address that the black community actually has a problem and that it isn't just white people's fault or cops' fault.

that's exactly what it is meant to be like. (((they))) want black people to keep killing each other.

@matrix (which would count for stuff like armed robbery and aggravated assault)

@matrix just murders. The original statistic is violent crime in general.

I enjoyed playing a bard in D&D that had already experienced the typical bard stuff and had matured. It kind of grinds my gears when I see that anyone playing a bard immediately takes on the role of the party faggot.

@xianc78 i'd be surprised if this has good cooling based on the size of the device. you'll likely have to underclock stuff, especially if you're playing it portably. i know a bunch of other handheld systems have had problems with dissipating heat so your hands get really warm and sweaty, that's why the Deck specifically routes it away from the hands with its extra size.

the battery is only 5Wh higher than the Deck's, so i think it's pretty safe to say that is going to be its limiting factor. idk if watt hours have a linear scale or not but if they do, that's about a 12% increase in battery capacity going up against, what, a 30-40% difference in power? if the steam deck can only last like 90 minutes playing a AAA game pushing itself, i can't imagine this thing doing any better.

it will also of course be much more expensive. there's no way this will have a competing price point. the GPD win 3 was $1,000+. you're really paying a premium for a chinese product that uses comic sans on their website. it packs a lot more power, but i think that power will pack more problems with it.
