Lol Windows.
Poor woman. Having a baby with some weirdo who installed windows on his steam deck, who brought his gaming setup when you’re in labor. Idiocracy was a prediction, not a comedy.
I mean it was probably consensual so the only person I feel bad about is the kid.
Why bring mouse+keyboard when the steamdeck has it’s own control and takes less space?
FPS?
I think someone can tolerate joysticks when in a hospital room.
EFT players can’t.
You don’t really need when the controller has touchpads and gyro
Does gyro work with PC games? Only ever used them on mobile. Don’t think Xbox controllers have em either.
Some games support it, but the ones that don’t normally let you move the camera with a mouse while using a controller, for thoses games is really easy to set up the gyro as a mouse inside steam, just remember to set it to only activate when pressing a buttom, i normally use the same button as the scope. You can also set a button as a switch so you press once and the gyro kicks in, press again and it turns off
Bro. The gyro is ground breaking but anyone that tells anyone that they play fps with a controller have been smoking very bad meth and stay away for a while then ask how they are doing later
Honestly there’s a learning curve and the gyro by itself without a touchpad doesn’t really replace a mouse, but i also can’t play with a mouse and keyboard while laying in bed, so i took the time to adapt to it and now i’m playing games that would probably been rotting in my library because i don’t like to stay in my chair after working for hours on it
OMG I’ve been playing FPS with a controller since I was a baby.
A NEWBORN BABY.
It’S an FPs I HAve tO USe keYBOard aNd MoUSe othERwiSE I CaNt dO iT!!
Her *smocking crack cocaine*: This wouldn’t affect my baby.
The baby:
It doesn’t improve the framerate
EFT has like 100 different keybinds for every type of movement and action. Not uncommon to have ctrl, alt, and shift all set as different modifiers for 5-10 keys.
Command wheels and mode shifts, my son. Those touchpads are extremely flexible, especially when combined with the back buttons.
Who the hell puts Windows on a Steam Deck? What a loser
Oh and he’s not being present with his wife
Why would anyone brag about any of this. His poor partner.
You guys have clearly never had kids. It almost never goes like in the movies, you rush into hospital, and then you wait. Especially if the water broke, then you wait few days. There is absolutely nothing to do in the hospital. I would have killed for steamdeck, or even a switch.
Right… I hope this isn’t the begining of a shitty broken home and the birth of lost soul.
I can see bringing the Deck, like you might be sitting there for at least 24 hours, you don’t need to be sitting there holding their hand the whole time…
But the keyboard? The mouse? The HEADPHONES? It’s not like you’re in an extended stay. You’re getting that baby out and going. You don’t need all that.
I mean the headphones make much more sense than the keyboard and mouse imo.
You wanna be able to hear if your partner needs anything. Ear buds would at least mean that they can only put one in at a time.
You’ve never worn headphones with one half off your ear before? Arguably better than just putting one earbud in, because you can still hear the game audio.
Those are over ear closed backs with thicc pads, no way are those going to be comfortable to one ear. Some Grados, maybe, but again the more important thing is hearing things in the room, not the game.
Okay you’re right about the one in the image, but I was more talking about a hypothetical here, bc this guy clearly did bring a keyboard and mouse too. Some Sennheiser HD650s would be perfect imo.
Wait wait wait, WINDOWS installed?
To be fair, a lot of anticheat tools don’t play nicely with Linux.
A few, not a lot, and not on any games worth playing
To be fair none of the games where their AC blocks linux are worth playing anyway.
Just a cavalcade of poor decisions.
Le setup. I love these guys posting their balls like this
Engagement/rage bait. Or maybe it’s just satire?
I don’t know how some people find the time to do anything but help take care of mom and the baby. I was either sleeping or helping while trying to find time for food.
I was sitting next to my wife for a few hours talking to her (we brought food and so on, so no need for me to go anywhere).
I mean, I would have had time to play games, but I doubt I’d still be married. Tbf, I never even thought about that possibility before seeing this post.
I could maybe understand it, if it was a problematic pregnancy. Like, the wife of a friend of mine had to lie in a hospital bed for several weeks before giving birth to reduce the risk of premature birth. You’ll want to spend as much time there as possible, but after sitting in a room together for weeks, this might start to sound like a good idea,
Everything you saw and thought, “I should help with that.”; they don’t.
That poor woman
Having to deal with a guy who uses windows on his Steam deck
Can’t play tarkov on steam deck without windows or moonlight and moonlight over hospital wifi would be worse than tarkov natively over hospital wifi.
You can. I just played until level 36 and uninstalled.
“Wife’s pregnancy”
I’m wondering who is the father
You think he’s pregnant?
I would hope she would have known about his red flags before the baby lolol
Hoping he means just for the labour, not the whole 9 months
Bro probably could
Windows on steam deck
Explains the behavior lmao
Windows on steam deck Is blasphemy
He’s didn’t bring a second controller. Divorce.
The kind of guy who installs Windows on his steam deck is the same kind of guy who won’t let his wife get an epidural.
He did say he played Tarkov.
It’s the woman’s choice to get an epidural or not though…
Not to rain on the anti windows parade, but he has to install windows to play Tarkov. You cant play it on linux due to anticheat.
Because there aren’t 100000000000000 other, much better games to play out there. Nope. Tarkov is the only game ever created that is any good. So good that people are willing to allow rootkit anti-cheat garbageware to be installed on their system to play this holy, godly, superhyper great game.
Let people like things
Can’t run it on linux? Can’t run it at all.
I see this as an absolute win for Linux
I think you can play PvE Tarkov because the raids run on your machine (except for Streets). But if you’re already willing play PvE you might as well play SPtarkov which does work on Linux and has a modding scene that offers a significantly better PvE experience.
EDIT: just a PSA that Tarkov uses Battleye, which supports Proton. Just like with almost every other game the only reason you can’t play Tarkov on Linux is because the developer doesn’t want to you to do that.
Although I understand this on a factual level, I still question the set of priorities that leads someone to install an operating system in order to run a single game.
Also, his wife must’ve been enthused to see he brought all his “performance upgrades.”
I imagine they’re dual booting.
if they already have a copy of the OS anyways, I totally get it. If you have the resources to play the game you wanna play, any would you intentionally deprive yourself of that?
But yeah, bringing all that to the hospital is fuckin nuts. God I hope that his wife is a huge nerd too and that this was like a joke between them and he didn’t actually use it during active labor or after the baby was born.
Isn’t it also… Ridden with filthy cheaters? Lol
It’s almost as if kernel level anti cheat is no match for heuristics and more secure game code.
What idiot would install windows on a steam deck. Defeats the whole point.
Guessing that his game of choice didn’t work on Steam OS
That said I wonder about the frame rate—this game is notoriously demanding/heavy AFAIK
He should choose better games then.
BSG have said they plan on adding linux support, just not their top priority.
The kind of idiot that boasts about “system tweaks” and “audiophile headphones”.
His “audiophile” colleagues would also murder him for plugging them into a 20 cent onboard DAC chip and still calling it an audiophile setup
tbh the decks dac is surprisingly good- at least with my planar IEMs
I did install windows on a microsd to play some online games with my steamdeck. It’s a so-so experience, but at least means you can literally play anything on the steamdeck.
Just get an ROG Ally at that point
SteamOS is still the main OS. I’ve just got a microsd for dual booting. I feel like a ROG Ally would be a downgrade at that point.
Dual boot Bazzite and windows(?)
But at what cost!
It’s probably because he’s playing tarkov multiplayer
Tarkov runs on linux tho.
Ah I assumed it was one of those multiplayer games that had an anti cheat which made the game not work on Linux.
Oh you are right. But the multiplayer anti cheat does not work at all and theres a opensource single player version that is better in every single way
Unnamed because…
Block out your annoying wife’s contractions with these Audiophile Headphones™.
If only there was a device that combined the Steam Deck with a keyboard and a 14" monitor. Like a Steam Deck that is designed to sit on top of your lap…
Pfft next thing you’ll tell me is that it’ll “fold up” when you’re done with it, get real pal your head is in the clouds lmao
I have never understood this. People buy a handheld they then add a mouse, a keyboard, an external GPU, and a screen. And this all fits nicely in their travel bag. I like my handheld but i dont want to add all this stuff and make it a desktop or a laptop…
Extraction shooter, but it’s getting extracted from the womb.
