Steamdeck
I’ve bought me a Christmas present, a refurbished steamdeck and it arrived today. After unpacking and putting in the charging cable, I’ve started the deck. Sadly, I’m stuck in an installation problem, and I’m unable to complete the setup. 😢
Besides the current problem, the steamdeck feels incredibly good and lightweight. The haptic is remarkable and fits perfectly in my hands. The buttons also have nice feedback so far. And I’m eager how the haptic is while playing a game. Let’s hope that the setup issue is only temporarily and solved quickly.
After some thoughts, my decision was pro steamdeck. I’ve been the owner of a switch for around 4–5 years, and I’ve played a lot on it. My biggest issue with the switch is, that most of the indies games I want to play, have a release far beyond pc/steam releases. The same goes for PS5 and the PlayStation portal. On the portal I’ve played Sonic Frontiers, and it made a loooot of fun, but that’s it. The other games are mostly TripleA games which I don't feel like doing at the moment. I am currently much more interested in small indie games. While the switch is cool for party games and the PlayStation portal for big cinematic games like God of War: Ragnarök (which I did not touch since I’ve owned it) or Spider-Man 2 (which is a great game). The steamdeck has a bigger range of games AND is open. I love that they’ve gone with Arch Linux. Which I used the last 15 years, before owning a MacBook for the last 2 years. 👌
