With a cleaver and buy a steam deck instead

[-] TIMMAY@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I wish, my pc is no longer capable of running games and I still need it for utilities and such (porn). The switch was a gift but I would probably have bought one anyway to be honest, but now I see the light

You're allowed a pc and a steam deck. There's no law against both.

[-] TIMMAY@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Maybe I dont know how a steam deck works lol I am woefully illiterate when it comes to some tech things. My understanding was that a steam deck still needed a pc to be streaming games from to some extent, is that not the case?

You might be thinking of the Steam Link

[-] MrShankles@reddthat.com 6 points 9 months ago

That is not the case. It's a standalone device that you can play pc games on. It is very similar to the switch in design, but able to play a whole lot more. You should definitely look into it.

I think you're thinking of the Steam Link.

The Steam Deck can stream games from your PC, but it is a perfectly capable standalone gaming device.

am dumb, that's sick, will get

Also, the steam deck has a desktop mode that allows it to act like a PC

[-] abraxas@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

One thing of note with the Steam Deck is that it CAN stream games from your PC, allowing you access to your whole library. You get access to fewer games in SteamOS (there's still a ton). You can always look up what games are natively compatible with Steam Deck before you buy. The big ticket games are usually compatible nowadays (Starfield was markedly absent, but BG3 is there all-the-way).

We will help you.

[-] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Its faster than thr OLED so no, you can install games on your Steam Deck and it is very very user friendly.

[-] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago

From the OLED, of the steam deck?
