Not gonna lie, there are obviously games, that would be hell on deck.

War thunder already declared support(I think), but how the fuck am I supposed to play the "find black pixel" part is beyond me.

4x games with walls of text will be hell too. But that still keeps most games perfectly playable.

And... everyone is talking about emulation for a reason.

@LukeAlmighty @coolboymew The only games I can see this gimmick working on are PC ports of console games, and at that point why even bother?

@Ricotta @coolboymew
Why bother?
Because I want to play games? I do not ser how the fact the games used to be on consoles makes it argument against Deck.

I see is actually as a huge argument for it, since some games are not adapted to keyboard and mouse properly.

@LukeAlmighty @Ricotta @coolboymew You can play on an actual computer tho

@bsdloli @coolboymew @Ricotta
Yes... and?
I have a computer too. But it isn't exactly portable you know.

@LukeAlmighty @bsdloli @coolboymew Laptops have been a thing for like 40 years.

@Ricotta @coolboymew @bsdloli
Ok... You're just trolling.

@LukeAlmighty @coolboymew @bsdloli No, I'm serious. They're real.

@Ricotta @LukeAlmighty @coolboymew

I got one of those that can game. It also made me see the light and how good trackballs can be.

On the topic of the deck, it's a niche thing. I'm more hopeful that Valve will be able to use it as an excuse to make as many games available on linux without hassle as possible. Want to ditch windows but I find gaming on linux daunting.

@nerdman @coolboymew @Ricotta
Yeah, it is definitely niche.
What a shame though, since Switch is not considered Niche, even though, it offers so little.

@LukeAlmighty @Ricotta @coolboymew Man, in the situations where you would want something portable, you already have laptops, and if for some reason you find yourself in a situation where using a laptop is uncomfortable, then you really shouldn't be gaming at that time, just do whatever you need to do and game when you're home

@LukeAlmighty @coolboymew @Ricotta does it need to be portable? use a laptop then

The best experience is on a desktop anyways

@LukeAlmighty @Ricotta Because for emulator machine you have either your phone (garbage) or Chinese emulator boxes that aren't very powerful

This should run games up to the PS3 easily. So N64, PS1, PS2, GC, DC which these other machines do very badly
