What does support the hardware mean like revisions or system updates.

Because if it’s hardware revision most users aren’t going to care about that

convincing people that $300 and 25 sq ft of dedicated space for VR is not a horrible insurmountable obstacle for a demographic of people that read a gaming forum thread about totally superfluous devices that cost hundreds of dollars

in the specific context of talking about using said superfluous device to power said VR headset to maybe provide a better framerate, based on hypothetical performance numbers specc'd from various press releases

some people seem more concerned with flaunting their True Leftist creds than being open to the idea that VR is both more accessible and more fun than it was a decade ago

now you're caught up, tell me about your football avatar as it relates to goalposts?

people telling me American apartments are fuckin huge is hilarious when I spent years doing HARDCORE GAMING in a 595 sq ft 1-bedroom with one other adult human and two cats. Our kitchen was 20 square feet of usable space, and we were paying the equivalent of $1900/mo in 2021 dollars

the US is huge and cheap, if you get out of the desirable cities where most people want to live!!

Most of the first party stuff runs pretty great in my experience. I’m not trying to play Doom Eternal or Witcher 3 on switch though. I understand emulation has a LOT of overhead in terms of spec requirements. My gut feeling is that you won’t be playing switch games on a steam deck. I can’t imagine even like gamecube games would be great on it, and I know dolphin rules.

Ironically Witcher 3 runs better than a lot of other titles.

Kind of looks like rear end but still

That’s what most people should do unless your one of those people who love having multiple games installed at once.

Which even with how big games are now can put you at three and that is a large amount

tbf if you have three games installed that max out the Deck, one of them is probably a GAAS game like Destiny 2 or an MMO like FF14 and you're just gonna be playing those forever

if you play indie games though, you'll be fine. I've got 38 games installed and 20-some demos installed and my steamapps folder is 140GB.

Well yeah but people cry they won’t be able to install multiple AAA titles which you don’t really need

The steam deck is going to be great at emulation, but expecting it to emulate current or even last gen consoles is a big ask. It very well might be able to handle everything up to PS3 and WiiU but expecting anything beyond that is unrealistic. A lot of the third-party switch games also have PC versions, and there are some WiiU versions of big current-gen titles like BOTW that might work.

You can get a pretty good idea of the kind of emulation performance the Deck will have by looking at ETA Prime's youtube channel. He benchmarks a lot of systems that fit into the same general power bracket.

To be fair we are talking about the switch which I don’t even think qualifies as last gen
