Edit: I meant to say a GAMING PC in the title
I feel like im in such the minority here, which isn’t bad. I’ve never had a “gaming” PC. I saved up and bought a MacBook laptop for college years ago. The only time I would game on a PC would have been coolmath.com back in the computer lab days. I’ve been a console boy my whole life. I play on PS only, but wanted something to emulate old games and play some AAA titles portablely. I picked up a Switch OLED about 7 months ago, but between the high cost of nearly all games and how restrictive it feels, I wanted more.
All of this is so foreign to me. I’ve played emulators on my phone before, but that’s about my extent of knowledge. Getting a SD and seeing things mentioned like “Proton” and “TDP” sounds like a foreign language to me, lol.
I’m learning, slowly. I’ve got Emudeck installed and I’ve got a decent understand of Desktop mode. I’m not even 30 but I sound like an old man. How many of you are like me? I’ve learned many things only due to owning a Steam Deck!
Me. The main resson i chose a deck in the first place is i rarely get dibs or spare time to sit in front of a large screen. So owning a gamibg pc would be pretty redundant when i dont even have time for the dozen + consoles i already own. Handheld is the perfect solution for a busy person who still likes their games though. If i had the spare time i would have had a ps5 instead of a deck. Im no stranger to emulation though as i first discovered that on an old laptop nearly 2 decades ago. But i did most od my current emulation on android up rill the purchase of my steamdeck. I did have a steam account prior though, but due ro the limited nature of the laptop i was running it on i didbt give it much use. Only realy got it for the free games lol. But its now the one i use on my deck and have actually purchased a few games
