I like how everyone is giving shit to the dude for “not being there for his wife,” because I remember the OG post from Reddit where OP and his wife were explaining that it was cool, she said it was okay and even encouraged it, and was unconscious most of the time during recovery anyway.
I don’t even think the windows on steam deck part is even from the OG, but maybe I just missed that in the comments.
Windows on steam deck
Explains the behavior lmao
Windows on steam deck Is blasphemy
Who the hell puts Windows on a Steam Deck? What a loser
Oh and he’s not being present with his wife
Lol Windows.
Hoping he means just for the labour, not the whole 9 months
Bro probably could
Why would anyone brag about any of this. His poor partner.
I can see bringing the Deck, like you might be sitting there for at least 24 hours, you don’t need to be sitting there holding their hand the whole time…
But the keyboard? The mouse? The HEADPHONES? It’s not like you’re in an extended stay. You’re getting that baby out and going. You don’t need all that.
I mean the headphones make much more sense than the keyboard and mouse imo.
Wait wait wait, WINDOWS installed?
To be fair, a lot of anticheat tools don’t play nicely with Linux.
To be fair none of the games where their AC blocks linux are worth playing anyway.
A few, not a lot, and not on any games worth playing
Just a cavalcade of poor decisions.
Right… I hope this isn’t the begining of a shitty broken home and the birth of lost soul.
Le setup. I love these guys posting their balls like this
That poor woman
Having to deal with a guy who uses windows on his Steam deck
Can’t play tarkov on steam deck without windows or moonlight and moonlight over hospital wifi would be worse than tarkov natively over hospital wifi.
You can. I just played until level 36 and uninstalled.
I would hope she would have known about his red flags before the baby lolol
The kind of guy who installs Windows on his steam deck is the same kind of guy who won’t let his wife get an epidural.
What idiot would install windows on a steam deck. Defeats the whole point.
Guessing that his game of choice didn’t work on Steam OS
That said I wonder about the frame rate—this game is notoriously demanding/heavy AFAIK
It’s probably because he’s playing tarkovidkTarkov runs on linux tho.
Ah I assumed it was one of those multiplayer games that had an anti cheat which made the game not work on Linux.
The kind of idiot that boasts about “system tweaks” and “audiophile headphones”.
His “audiophile” colleagues would also murder him for plugging them into a 20 cent onboard DAC chip and still calling it an audiophile setup
tbh the decks dac is surprisingly good- at least with my planar IEMs
I did install windows on a microsd to play some online games with my steamdeck. It’s a so-so experience, but at least means you can literally play anything on the steamdeck.
But at what cost!
Just get an ROG Ally at that point
SteamOS is still the main OS. I’ve just got a microsd for dual booting. I feel like a ROG Ally would be a downgrade at that point.
Dual boot Bazzite and windows(?)
My thoughts exactly
If only there was a device that combined the Steam Deck with a keyboard and a 14" monitor. Like a Steam Deck that is designed to sit on top of your lap…
Pfft next thing you’ll tell me is that it’ll “fold up” when you’re done with it, get real pal your head is in the clouds lmao
He’s didn’t bring a second controller. Divorce.
installs windows, instantly requires system tweaks and performance upgrades.
I’m no audio expert, but I feel like “audiophile headphones” and “headphones you can power directly from a steam deck” are probably mutually exclusive
There are good headphones that can work with a headphone jack.
I use planar headphones which are not too bad to drive, but most of the time I need some extra power. The deck actually is capable of blowing my eardrums out still
Not necessarily, some high-end headphones manage to have a low resistance and high sensitivity combo and are easy to “drive” without a dedicated amp.
This is the kind of setup that once it’s complete you smile at how awesome it is, then pack it up because you don’t know what you even want to play and most of the games I do I wanna play i wanna play on a better monitor.
And then you realize you should propably spend time with your wife who is about to go through some of the worst experiences in life of having a baby and dealing with all the shit afterwards.
Not my ideal setup but happy he’s happy.
