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 and you man we are the same person. I own a switch and a Mac and know little to nothing about computer protons emulation etc. I am learning. I love handheld gaming I live in a city where I rent a room and I don’t own a tv so handheld gaming it’s perfect for me. Steam deck is perfect. I wish I could run some android games but for the rest it’s perfect
