It's not sold at retail.  You can only get a Deck from the Steam store currently.

Twinkie has been living under a rock

 

A month ago you were shitting on the Deck. Now you're swearing off Ayaneo and wanting to try the Deck. Calm it down.

 

You should ask yourself, what would you actually play on the Deck? Or any device. Then check compatability and game performance.

 

I mostly play single player games and co-op games, I don't play competitive mp games which are the ones that have anti cheat so Deck compatability is excellent for me. Also I play 99% of games on Steam, and if not then it would be Gog.  Other services were a once in a blue moon thing for me, so again the Deck is a very easy transition. Actually I did do uplay here and there which also runs easy via lutris. The only service I couldnt get to run is Origin but thats the one I never touched so that was a stroke of luck.

 

Theres nothing wrong with trying the Deck but I want you to curb your enthusiasm before you get hooked on the idea of getting one. All I know about you is that you love EGS and Battlefield, oh and Gamepass? I don't think the Deck is the device for you.

Im good for now. The Deck is something that I might try somewhere down the line but I Just wanted to put my hands on it to see how it felt and looked in person.

Anyway, since we were talking about the Deck, might as well post this here.

 

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves is Deck Verified

 

 

 

I'm interested in seeing how these games run on the Deck.  Should be pretty good since we know the game supports FSR2.0. 

 

Cool that they even implemented the Steam Deck controller glyphs into the game.

The Deck is such a godly device. I love the PS5 but I barely play it since I got the Deck. I'm playing all kinds of games on it, from rocket league to cult of the lamb to halo Infinite. Controls are 1st party console quality and super comfortable.

battery life is pretty bad too. Seems to last around a hour and a half on average.

Did you watch anything about this device before you purchased it?

At this point I'm convinced he just bought it because it wasn't the Steam Deck

From consistent thread creation to obscure trash device testing so we don't have to buy it, Twinblade is a SW OG

if I had the money and would buy one of those things it would definitely be the volvo one

He's already having buyer's remorse for his Gayaneo Airhead.

lol it's classic twinb

[Remij 4,682]

Cory Barlog is playing Uncharted 4 on the Deck during a flight and says it runs great

Gotta give credit to TB, at least he owns up to purchasing mistakes. Some fools here will try to convince you something owns when you know they know it straight up sucks.

I don't have much use for this type of device so I knew it would be a waste when I bought it. But I still like messing with it to see how different games run and and look.

Lemmings in a nutshell. Every 6.0 flop they had was a banger in their eyes.

 

I still think Twinkie takes the L here because all the shortcomings of the Ayaneo Air were known before he bought it a little research goes a long way. Funnily enough if he had stuck to low requirement indie games as he originally stated, and was really looking for a device he could travel with, I think this system would have been ok Or at least not as disappointing.

How the fuck is the Deck capable of running UC4? Even at 800p, 30FPS, it's quite impressive that it runs at all to me.
