    I’m not even mad that I just paid full price. I don’t think I’ve been happier with any other purchase I’ve ever made!

    Man, I just bought a new gaming notebook, but I really want to get one. And I have almlst no time for gaming nowadays. Why are you tempting me, Gabe???

    So glad I have a computer I can play games on so I don’t have to mess around with a smaller computer with a smaller screen and worse performance.

    Edit: I pissed off the dad caucus with this comment. Steam decks are only for dads who can’t get more than thirty minutes of game time anymore and have no space for a legit gaming PC.

      Have fun playing on your PC in the train or on other random places then?

        Maybe bring a book? Why not save gaming for when you can actually do it well, not on a tiny screen at sub-60fps?

          But what when I wanna play some games that fit perfectly for such trips?

          Cult of the lamb is like perfect for such a task and many many other games.

          I fucking loved playing Titanfall 2 campaign here and then while on a trip. Fucking satisfying for some reason. Some games are not really enjoyable on the trip. But a Book? Idk. Its personal preference what you want and need.

          I guess I will switch to books for now, but the bit younger me didn’t liked books and enjoyed it a lot to play on rides instead of at home, you know.

          You can see the screen perfectly well at 90 FPS in many, many games. Why do you need to specifically play Tarkov or something on the train?

      I love taking my whole gaming pc setup with me to go visit my parents or take a flight, or just lugging it out to the porch for a nice evening of outdoor gaming.

        I guess I’m the only one in this thread that does other things when I’ve got down time away from the computer. When I want to play a video game, I don’t want to play a shittier version of it.

      It’s convenient and controls extremely well for anyone with a busy life, or comfortable life, dad or no.
