Just pulled the trigger on an OLED. I haven’t played a game on my PC for over a year, it’s simply used to stream football matches to my Chromecast on the weekends.
I already have a laptop and a PS5 that can do the heavy lifting. I also have a PS Vita that gets used daily simply because it’s so convenient, so I know the Steam Deck will get some play.
Just curious about others.
Main PC : Used for VR Editing and also gaming
Steamdeck: Gaming
I can’t tell you how many times I stop and realize I’m playing my steam deck while sitting at my desk with my Gaming pc and UW screen monitor off in the background- Seems like convenience trumps most…
Still use my PC because I have a good graphics card and superior display and fps
No.
I also cannot play any of the games I play on my gaming pc on a steam deck.
Like CS2. I need a mouse and keyboard and I need 240hz.
I ditched my old living room couch gaming machine / mediabox linux PC to another.
I ditched my steamdeck and got a PC once I got a taste of PC gaming.
I’m definitely ditching my gaming consoles in favor of the SD, docked mode on my entertainment center. I’m not going to be traveling for awhile, and wince I only play it docked it really doesn’t make sense to purchase the OLED.
My pc is just a WoW machine and my steam deck does the rest
I can confirm that my 3070 laptop doesn’t get as much love as the Steam Deck, by a long shot
I haven’t used my gaming PC(8700k+2070S) and Gaming Laptop(razerblade 14 w/ rtx 3070) for almost 2 years. Been busy playing ps5 or switch and steam deck.
I would love to, but certain games I play simply need to be played with a keyboard and mouse like Rust or CSGO, perhaps. Sure, I could bring those things with me, but at that point, it’d be entering laptop territory.
I don’t have a PC and the day I eventually build one I’m a bit sad that I’ll probably do the opposite !
It’s been the opposite. I use my gaming PC more now. I was playing a majority on PS5, but the deck actually brought me more back to PC gaming. PC during the day and deck while out or in bed later at night.
As a hoarder, I cannot ditch anything
I only gamed on my Steam Deck until Starfield came out, then I bought a Lenovo gaming PC and now I stream to my Steam Deck from that machine when I’m at home or have access to a high speed internet connection. The flexibility is great. I run Steam in a Linux docker container on the Lenovo desktop machine.
