I got my SD Oled 512gb about a month ago - and everyday i get home from work and turn it on and it still EXCITES me like no other. Im literally obsessed with it and love how it opened a whole new realm of PC games and emulation that i never experienced before. I literally have my xbox collecting dust (about to cancel game pass) , my switch 2 collecting dust (although Z-A does come out this month) and my PS5 collecting dust even though i just got borderlands 4 and ghost of yotei . Even though i have these new games for PS5 , i keep leaning toward the steam deck and all the games i have there; like its almost hard for me to want to play my consoles anymore.

So for those who have had their SD for a while - does this obsession/addiction with the SD ever go away , because if not i may just need to sell all my consoles at this point LOL

I was in our second bedroom doing "wedding work" when I hear my  fiancée coming down the hall.. I quickly pause Silksong and assume the position of a loving partner who is super excited to be planning a wedding... ONLY TO BE FOILED BY THE DECK'S NOTORIOUS VENT! 😂 She picks it up and asks... "why is your gameboy warm" and I folded

Thought some 30 something in here may appreciate the anecdote... have a great weekend everyone!

Edit: To be clear, yes, I am happily engaged and love my fiancée... sheesh!

I was getting ready to take my truck in this morning for a tire rotation. I knew I'd be there for about 45 minutes so I grabbed the deck and put it into my bag.

My wife said she was happy I was taking the deck rather than my laptop. When I asked her why it made her happy she explained it was because of work.

When I take the deck I play games, when I take my laptop I usually end up logging in and checking emails or doing other work related tasks. She is happy that the deck allows me to have time away from work and let's me enjoy gaming instead of feeling obligated to check email or something.

She's 100% right. I've never once tried to use the deck to check email or anything, even though it's technically capable. The Deck has given me back gaming time that I have otherwise been sacrificing to work.

God damn, what a gift. Looks godly on the OLED, runs at a buttery smooth 90 fps with barely a timeframe hitch at all, and with TDP at 10. So battery life is superb. With battery at 80% you get about 5 hours.

And the game is unbelievable, almost makes the first Hades look like a demo. There’s so much more to the sequel it’s staggering, all of the mechanics are doled out with impressive pacing so there’s like always something new.

It’s so rare for these sorts of sequels to be so much bigger in scope and content and yet not feel overstuffed. This one nails that balance brilliantly, clearly took some very good use out of the Early Access period.

As the title says. I want a new game where I don't realize its already 5am and I've been laying in bed wired for 5 hours. A game that will make my arms go numb from holding it for so long.

Previously enjoyed games:

Cloverpit

Balatro

Potion Craft

Dredge

Papers Please

Noita

Hades 1&2

Slay The Princess

Cult of the lamb

Dave the Diver

Slay the Spire

Deadcells

A Little to the Left

Omori

Factorio

Preferred Genres: Any really as long as the gameplay is enticing.

Budget: None.

Other Notes: Now, I will say off-rip, I don't think i can play a game like BG3, God of War, Etc on my deck as it just makes my eyes feel weird especially FPS. I would definitely prefer something thats more top view - side scroller with more of a simple objective where i can turn my brain off than something that requires more brainpower like rimworld, oxygen not included, and factorio. Even then fuck it though. throw the complicated ones at me anyways i might enjoy em

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Which would you choose and why?

I love my gaming pc and would miss it, but I would choose my steam deck. Something about the form factor combined with the flexibility of a pc makes playing games so much fun.

Something I didn’t expect is that older games that would be difficult for me to enjoy because of dated graphics on desktop have been some of my best gaming experiences on deck - my best gaming experience this last year? playing through the dark forces remaster, a game I would have never gotten into on pc.

Update after reading responses:

I love the diversity of views here!

I didn’t expect how many people would choose their pc over the deck given the subreddit. Echo chambers are boring so I’m actually pleasantly surprised. I think this really just goes to show how people’s priorities differ depending on what makes them feel immersed and engaged playing a game.

At first, I didn’t really enjoy SteamOS, with prior experience of Linux on a desktop pc being not so enjoyable. Then I got a Steam Deck sometime down the line and tried SteamOS. At first I didn’t enjoy it. Then I decided to install windows on it, things were going smoothly as I thought it would. Enjoyed playing some BF1/5 and some other anti-cheat games like Apex Legends and Call of Duty: MWII DMZ. Then I realised just how irritating it is to navigate all of windows without a keyboard and mouse. Brought a third party dock (made sure it was a well known brand) and got a Keyboard and Mouse lent to me by a family member. Things went “smoother” but I felt like I was missing out on a lot of performance. So I said to myself ”hey I’m sure SteamOS is better now, I’ll give it one last try” and went back. Now after experiencing both Windows and SteamOS on the deck and staying on it for a while I am proud to call SteamOS my new home. 😁

Now I just need to hope that Valve gives up the option to install this OS on non AMD hardware pcs in the future ;)

Hey all! I just got my first steam deck. The 256gb lcd model, I’m just having an issue setting it up. After going through the prompts and connecting to my wife, the update starts and finishes. Then I get an error! I tried rebooting it, booting it in previous b, and disconnecting from the wifi and reconnecting. What am I doing wrong?

Update: I had to install the update on my hot spot, then delete user data. Steam has deemed me worthy!

Microsoft raising GamePass up to 30 dollars a month made me realize I made the right decision choosing the Steam Deck over the Xbox Ally. The main reason why I wanted a Xbox Rog Ally was for GamePass but the high price reveal kinda drove me off. I decided to get the Steam Deck LCD that’s on sale tho I was feeling a little sad that I wouldn’t be able to use GamePass. Then a week later they raise GamePass up to 50 percent essentially killing all of that sadness. Man I really don’t know what Microsoft is doing anymore.

Here it is - a refresh video. Short, sweet ... ONLY SBS, three locations including the lower city in Act 3. No commentary. Did my best to line up the videos.

Hopefully this one makes everyone happy.

Previously Enjoyed Games:

• Ori 1 & 2 (absolutely loved them)
• Hades + Hades II (currently hooked)
• Expedition 33 (played and finished on GeForce Now)
• Planning to dive into Cyberpunk 2077 (on GFN)

Preferred Genres:

Single-player mostly action/adventure, roguelike, story-driven games. Open to exploring RPGs or anything that works well on Steam Deck or GeForce Now. I loved Expedition 33 on GFN on SD, it was magicaaal!

Budget:

No strict budget, but I try to grab stuff on sale if possible.

Other Notes:

I’m 30+ and kinda new to gaming (first played Last of Us in my 20s). Not really into online multiplayer since I usually just get wrecked and don’t have friends to squad up with anymore 😂. Looking for games that are fun for a “newbie” but still an awesome experience on Steam Deck or GeForce Now.
