Yeah, the switch remains like one of the best consoles of all time. Not that the deck is bad (its also one of the greatest in my mind), but cmon

There’s room on this earth for two amazing portable devices. Just like there’s room for the Xbox /ps5 and the Pc.

Everything I've tried to play with Switch emulation has not gone very well, so I still have plenty of use for the thing. The switch is still the go to for convenience really, the deck is just awkward enough that I have to be in the mood for using it.

Yeah I'm not really sure what the best experience I've had with Switch emulation has been, but it's not really the Deck's fault. Either way you still need the legit hardware around

The reason the Deck did so good is because of the Switch. It's also very small and way more user-friendly, making it perfect for children and people who don't want to gently caress with Linux.

unruly posted:Yeah, once I got Heroic in my steam library, it's great that I can play Cuphead and others right from the UI, instead of having to flip to desktop mode and run heroic from there. I never got Assassin's Creed Valhalla working through Heroic Launcher. It would download, but launching it would just make the Deck freeze.

The Switch walked at 30 fps so the Deck could run at 40 to save battery life

i will be sorely disappointed if they just make a slightly better switch (32 fps) instead of some stupid nintendo boondoggle with a proprietary controller you hook inside one nostril

Lord Lambeth posted:The deck does make me wonder what nintendo's game plan will be after the switch because the deck does fill the void of a nintendo switch pro There's no reason for Nintendo not to just make a better, higher quality, more powerful Switch.  Make it literally just more processing power, more RAM, etc, all that, leave the architecture the same, so it has native backwards compatibility (like how the GC - Wii - WiiU went), while making more and more technically advanced games.

Switch is a great console for the kids and for party games. Playing latest games on it is a secondary concern. I use mine for Ring Fit and whenever we get together with the family to play Mario Kart. Deck's for people who are serious about their casual gaming.

homeless snail posted:Heroic uses the same stuff to run them as Steam, they'll run just as well. You don't get the shader cache downloads or anything else Steam does though. Great, I just installed Stubbs, Hand of Fate 2, and Void Bastards from Epic. I didn’t realize how easy it was to put the games into your Steam library, it’s just a checkbox inside settings for the game. I did have a couple of freezes that caused me to need to exit the game in Stubbs, I’ll play around with the proton or wine version to see if that is the fix.

I often have a lot of downtime at work. On a few days, I've brought my deck and even though I'm sitting in an empty classroom with no students and no responsibilities or expectations, I still felt weird breaking it out. Like I've been gaming my whole life and still have so far to go.

a) AMD isn't any good at ray tracing b) The Deck has a weak APU c) These are the open source nerd drivers, not AMD's official drivers.

Lol I was just goofing. I also have a switch And Xbox series x And quest v1 and v2 And nreal air I'm just telling myself that so I don't go buy a deck 2 on day 1. My Steam Stats look like this, so as you can tell I am a horrible gamer and more of a collector.

Do they care? The switch is a runaway success that prints money for Nintendo. Why change that to slow down (but definitely not stop) a little bit of piracy that amounts to not much money compared to legit sales

MarcusSA posted:MonoPrice has some chargers on sale. Suburban Dad posted:I bought this and it literally drains my steam deck despite saying it's charging it. It will fast charge my phone (according to the phone but haven't really tested it) but I left the deck plugged in for a day or two and it dropped 75% of charge. I just tested it again today to see if I was crazy and left it for a few hours. It was down 1% from where it was when I charged it. It was in sleep mode for all of this. The RMA one does exactly the same poo poo so I don't think this is a good charger I'd recommend for the deck. Seems to work fine for my phone but flat out does not charge the deck at all. It'll calculate a charge time that's lower than my switch charger, but then the battery does not increase. E: whoops double posted instead of edited.

sigher posted:I'm assuming this is what they'll do but it makes me wonder if they'll change the architecture just so their new console isn't emulated anymore. The main issue that enables Switch piracy right now is the 11 million or so hackable units in the wild that Nintendo has to continue supporting with their new software. Any one of those can be used to dump games for piracy. Like when Nintendo gives out review copies of games the press, they can only be installed on non-hacked units to prevent (or at least make significantly more difficult) game leaks. But when games are released for retail then Nintendo has to make them work on all models since people still own and use launch units. With the next console Nintendo can restrict any Switch Prime features to only the new units so that only backwards compatible games can be dumped.
