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
Not my ideal setup but happy he’s happy.
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…
He’s didn’t bring a second controller. Divorce.
I’m no audio expert, but I feel like “audiophile headphones” and “headphones you can power directly from a steam deck” are probably mutually exclusive
Not necessarily, some high-end headphones manage to have a low resistance and high sensitivity combo and are easy to “drive” without a dedicated amp.
Impedance and audio quality are not intrinsically linked.
I use planar headphones which are not too bad to drive, but most of the time I need some extra power. The deck actually is capable of blowing my eardrums out still
There are good headphones that can work with a headphone jack.
I’m betting that it can drive 250Ω headphones. Verifying.
EDIT: Yup. DT990s actually doing pretty decent.
EDIT 2: Not that I expect that OOP has actually nice-sounding and comfortable cans (the latter, along with repairability, is the reason that I have em in the first place), since they referred to them as “audiophile” headphones.
What idiot would install windows on a steam deck. Defeats the whole point.
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.
But at what cost!
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(?)
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…
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.
installs windows, instantly requires system tweaks and performance upgrades.
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.
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.
To be fair none of the games where their AC blocks linux are worth playing anyway.
A few, not a lot, and not on any games worth playing
Just a cavalcade of poor decisions.
Engagement/rage bait. Or maybe it’s just satire?
Right… I hope this isn’t the begining of a shitty broken home and the birth of lost soul.
Le setup. I love these guys posting their balls like this
Who the hell puts Windows on a Steam Deck? What a loser
Oh and he’s not being present with his wife
I thought this was gonna be a joke about Windows on Steam Deck but holy fuck everyone needs to mind their own business.
No, it’s always important to call out abusive parental figures.
How is this abusive?
It’s not, it’s a shitpost
Is a little cringe though, but maybe Dad was expecting an extended stay
Oh I see what you mean now. I agree, call out abusive behavior but too many people seem to want to have an input on things that don’t concern them.
then go do it in the appropriate thread, not this one. its incredibly off topic

Hoping he means just for the labour, not the whole 9 months
Bro probably could
Playing Tarkov on a screen that size might as well be impossible lol.
Imagine trying to spot killa power sliding across the halls of interchange in the dark fog from 150 meters out. Good fuckin luck lol.
steamdeck
windows
I think this is an offense worthy of capital punishment
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?
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:
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
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.
Lol Windows.
