I’m a surgeon and was talking to one of the nurse practitioners in our clinic about what I’ll be doing while I’m on call if things are slow, and I tell her I’ll just play on my Steam Deck. I pull it out, press the power button and within 2 seconds Titanfall 2 was running fluently on it. She was like, “wait, how did it just start playing so fast?”.
That blazing fast pause/resume -now even faster on the OLED, is the one reason I simply cannot have a non-Steam OS handheld.
Even on the Deck it’s caused a few games to freak out on me. It’s a neat feature, but I wish it was as reliable as something like the Switch.
