Why I Regret Buying the Steam Deck

When she’s beautiful but you don’t deserve her

What the hell? He said that he bought the steam deck because he wanted to have a bigger selection of games he can play while travelling. But then he said that one of the reasons he regrets buying it is because he doesn’t think he needs that many games available for him to play while travelling 😂 And as for the size thing, surely you would know how big it is if you do your research on the console before buying it, since it’s so expensive. This video is stupid.

You dont even need to put the steam deck in your bag.
Just buy a carabiner clip, hook it on the handle and then on a spot on your bag.
I take a bag to work every day, and my steam deck is clipped to it. Just make sure its zipped.

This is like buying a Honda Civic and then complaining that it won't fit 6 people. The size was never a secret, so why'd you buy it?

I wish I'd been a subscriber of yours so I could unsubscribe.

lol this sounds like a “You” 🫵 problem, not the Steam Deck.

I Haven’t seen such a BS video for a long long time on youtube

Guy buys the steam deck when he clearly didn't check anything about it especially when he didn't even know how much it weighs and how big it is generally the shitest review I've ever seen

Lmfaoo this was so stupid. Take this video down please and stop crying 😂

I wonder if this is satire or if this guy has no testosterone?

In my backpack

one of the most ridiculous videos i've seen in a long time. GTFO youtube

Planning to buy steamdeck.. is still worth to buy ?

Ah yes, i hate when i'm trying to play with only one finger and the Steam Deck falls on the floor.

Like/dislike ratio speaks for itself.

I think the problem is your backpack…, your backpack…, backpack, backpack backpack. BACKPACKBACKPACK

you should have a game gear in the 90s,
wear a backpack only for it..

2Kg of a desktop pc,
if yu think about it..

I just marked this video as scam. You should do the same. What a waste of time and bull-shit video.

Ofc steam deck is MASSIVE

TL;DR: make yourself a hot drink, sit back, and relax for a few minutes while you read what I've typed.

I think people misconstrue the adjective "portable" which is defined as: "able to be easily carried or moved, especially because being of a lighter and smaller version than usual," with "a device intended for use in every instance of downtime away from the home." The Steam Deck is as portable as the GameBoy was, semantically speaking, since it is a smaller, portable facsimile of it's more prodigious counterpart: the Desktop PC plus a monitor/TV and keyboard and mouse/controller.

I had a GameGear in '91 and would use it in the car on the way to Wales – using the car's cigarette lighter port – and then I play for a bit at night in the caravan we hired; and in this case it was main console anyway. In 2000 I went to Singapore, Thailand and Australia for three months and used the GBA on the lengthy plane journey, and don't think I touched it again while travelling because I was there to travel and not play videogames, watch TV, or read books.

Perhaps a slim gaming laptop may have been a better machine for your brief, however, you can hook up a wireless keyboard and mouse or your phone to the Deck for typing anyway, right? I suppose it depends on how much you were using the Deck before going away as to whether it was worth keeping it. The lesson here is to know the utility and function of a product, and what it means to the activity(s) you will use it for. The purpose of these systems is to get a competent simulacrum of home console gaming on long journeys and if you're based abroad without much to do, i.e. working away. What they are not are devices you play while walking up a mountain or swimming in a lagoon under a waterfall, and so on.

Yesterday I managed to get four and a quarter hours out of my White OLED Deck while playing 'Nine Sols' at full brightness at home while my partner watched something on the TV, and it looked beautiful and played flawlessly locked at 90fps. Your regret is based on misunderstanding the reason for the purchase: you chose the wrong tool for your current situation.

With DLSS and FSR getting exponentially better with each iteration, and SOCs becoming smaller and more powerful while using less battery power it won't be long before we have devices no bigger than a smartphone that does the same job as a Deck or Switch, as those two markets are destined to merge at some point. And as for the home console, I think it's hurtling towards extinction since what's stopping AMD partnering with LG, Samsung or Sony and having their TV's SOC be able to upscale to 4k, have 2.4Ghz or Bluetooth, and have Steam's "Big Picture", the Xbox "System Software", or the PlayStation "Welcome Hub" built into the TV. Look how Amazon's "Firestick" and Sky's Now "SmartStick" were the de facto ways to use Netflix and Prime et al. before TV manufacturers just built it in as a menu and onboard software.

I for one cannot wait until I can play everything on whichever device I choose to; however, knowing how Hypercapitalism works, and the antecedents of the "Gaming Industry" it will be suffocated to near death by the amount of string attached to the idea and practices of the carrion buzzards . . .

wtf did I just watch? 😅 comments are on point though 😂😂😂

I have a retroid pocket 4 pro for traveling. Its the best compact handheld for travel.
Emulates all the way up to nintendo wii. And you can cloud and stream game on it.
