Who cares, you will not be finding one

I wish it could reasonably utilize an eGpu.

bideo game :DDDD

Why can't you play a laptop in bed?

Also, I understand being busy, but what sort of time savings are you gaining by playing actually physically IN bed?

The time it takes to walk to bed from somewhere else in your house?

It's also not great for your sleep to play on a screen actually in bed.

Why not?

Man, it hits it's limits with Cities: Skylines. Despite that game running on the switch. It's not the hardware, it's the optimisation.

At a certain point in the hierarchy they do.

I certainly don't. I'm using my deck around 90% of the time to play Brotato. It's perfectly up to the task and has nice battery runtime. I don't know what people expect but I for one am glad I can run nearly all my PC games on a handheld and not being limited to DOS emulation on ARM and the likes.

They hired someone with a lot of relevant expertise and people are losing their minds because he used to be a cop. That article is ... just trash.

Looking at the actual post on rpi:

>“I used to be a police officer tackling serious organised crime and terror threats across the east of the UK,” Toby tells us

and the people in the BS BF article are extrapolating that as somehow being anti-protester and lamenting that his hiring is somehow "pro cop". Wild stuff.

Typical click bait toms hardware article, used to be a okay site for information about 20 years ago.

Kernel updates have been fine… I use Armbian as my distro and update it monthly with little to no issues. I’m not religious about checking it every day since the Astrocomputer isn’t connected to the internet. Or the Pi-hole computer I just let it run as is and don’t really mess with it

Unfortunately I damaged the Wi-Fi module on the board (the and connector failed) when upgrading the eMMC chip so instead of throwing out the whole system, it was just easier to relegate it to Pi-hole duty

Devs don't control what gets created.

Yeah

The main difference here is that the emulator handhelds the other person is talking about run ARM CPUs where the Steam Deck is still using an x86_64 processor.

Not with that attitude!

Pretty sure this is why a lot of AAA games bomb on release, not because they are bad games but you need a god-tier system to run them.

Doom is probably one of the best examples of a game that bucks this trend.

The newest AAA games will just have to wait until people have systems that can play them well before they get the sales.

I have 2 PCs that I play games on and both GPUs are in the top 5 of steams own hardware survey (1060 & 1050ti) (https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam) so if developers are not going to aim for those cards as a minimum requirement for solid gaming then why would we part with our hard earned cash. Although 20 and 30 series gpus are in the list, they hardly dominate it.

Also, the Steam catalog is massive and a lot of games from even the last 15 years still look very good and play really well on my level of hardware.

Is there a steam deck 2 in the works?

i mean there are other UE5 titles coming. but seeing the new HP game's recommended system specs has me doubting it's actually optimised in the first place

UE5, is that the nickname for the new Harry Potter game?

Those were ports that dynamically loaded the game to maintain high frame rates at the expense of graphical fidelity, seems like that takes a bit of work to pull off which is where we run into the paradox of adoption. Doing extra work for the Deck as a target platform would increase adoption rate of the Deck, but there’s no reason to do that until enough people adopt the Deck to make the work worthwhile. I hope Steam puts more weight behind the Deck as I could see a comparable Windows device overtaking it and competition is already on its heels.

Imagine a platform where the goalposts move every year yet development takes multiple years. Gaming is going to shit trying to keep up with yearly leaps in graphics technology, yet for the second 4K capable generation games aren’t able to run at 4K 60 FPS consistently. And what the hell is with AMD’s naming scheme for graphics cards and why is NVidia’s so much better and easier to remember?

Would make sense if developers create a steamdeck graphics profile. If they can make the profile adjust on the go similar to games like Nier Automata and Doom for the switch it would be awesome.

And Linux.
