Child delivery made easy! This delivery is going by waaay faster than the previous.
- Birth Simulator. 
- How does Valheim play on the Deck? Well I hope! - 40 fps, usually. No complaints at all. - Combat can be less fluid than on PC, so I use my deck time to catch up on chores around the camp. 
 
- Haha dude this is exactly my plan this Tuesday! We check in to the hospital Tuesday night 
- It took me a while to notice that you’re waiting with your spouse. Congrats mate and also nice shoe 👍🏻 
- Sory lady! Me bideo gaime more emportont than child! - Well, she ain’t popping out an OLED, is she? xD 
 
- Hugin gonna be there from the start for this new adventurer. 
- I could not find a comfortable control scheme for Deck-heim 
- I don’t miss that hot ass little sofa chair thingy - Like, vast majority of the time someone will sleep there. You pay thousands to the place. It would kill them to get something comfy? 
- Hey, she has a name 
- It’s a right of passage for any new dad. - It is known 
 
 
- You’re welcome 
- Jesus, I can’t imagine being at the hospital with my pregnant wife in the process of giving birth and playing a stupid video game. - Yeah, you need to be absolutely bored for 12 hours, no chilling possible. - I don’t know if you ever were present at a birth but I was busy during the whole process, when I didn’t help my gf I stressed out a lot - Yes, as we all know all births are always the same and there’s never waiting time. Your experience is obviously representative of every single child birth. - Yeah I meant I stressed out a lot during downtime. Wtf are you on - It’s funny how I talk about my experience and some sweaty redditor dude comes along and says that I generalize every birth - It’s funny how I talk about my experience and some sweaty redditor dude comes along and says that I generalize every birth - …you see the irony in this comment, right? 
 
 
 
 
- exactly. with an lcd monitor? nah 
- You sound like someone who’s never had to wait around. There is a LOT of downtime, and the wife is not always amenable or available. Obviously you drop everything when she needs something. And ideally, she has a Deck of her own–or something–cuz I’m pretty sure she could use some distraction (that isn’t always the spouse that made her this way, heh), too. ;) - Can confirm. My wife had her iPad, and I had my Switch, for the birth of our first. We were there for like 2 days and most of it was pretty chill, until it wasn’t. When things escalated, the last thing on my mind was video games lol 
 
 
- Hopefully Valheim isn’t too much of a disappointment. Runs like absolute doodoo for me! - Yeah for a game with textures and models comparable to minecraft, I’m really not sure what makes it run so terribly. Even with all the post processing effects disabled, I couldn’t hit a stable 30 fps on the deck - I can check my settings later but I think I’m mostly running medium settings, it looks great and it’s a stable close to locked 30 fps - no lies, I even keep it at 10-11w tdp. No fsr. I haven’t long beaten the second boss though so I’m not sure if performance gets worse beyond that, still I’ve had quite a few enemies on screen without a hitch too. - The player buildings gives a huge hit to a performance. I played Valheim on a Steam Deck once with couple of friends, because I didn’t have access to my PC, and in our village where we have couple houses and a workshop, it would drop to like 15 fps. Running quickly through forest would drop frames too. - I played it at the beginning of the year and they made some optimizations, but somehow I doubt it made any significant difference. - I have a few small buildings, a decent sized dock and one big main building that was a bit complicated to build and I’ve not had a slight hit in performance from them, I see other people have that complaint though so maybe I’m just not at a big of a scale as I think 
 
 
- Minecraft does fucky things with textures and polygons though. Like, half of the textures are algorithmically generated - that isn’t going to improve performance, but my point is it’s a totally different beast. It’s designed to be optimally simple from the ground up. - And Valheim’s models are hugely more complicated, from a behavioural standpoint. Collision detection with a cube is about as trivial as it gets, but when trees get polygonal, and you have heights that aren’t the multiple of the size of a block, and things can overlap, the whole modelling scenario becomes a nightmare - and games like Valheim have to model stuff that happens off-screen, too, like that bloody troll trashing your lumber base while you’re away. - Basically, Valheim is wayyy more complicated - and has a smaller team optimizing it - than Minecraft. The polygonal visual style is pretty superficial in the grand scheme of things. 
 
 
- I hope you were present at the conception 
- valheim is one of my favorite games to play on deck! 
- Classic Dad Joke congratulations! Hope your family life’s beautifully stay blessed!
