Can you plug a steam deck to the tv and use a controller? Cause if not, I don't want it
No joke, I'm tempted to buy a Steam Deck (or true Linux phone) because... It can run a local HTML/CSS/JS app on a browser with filesystem access and audio support. This is the power of having an OS that is not locked down.
Speaking of which, what would you recommend for me to run a local HTML/CSS/JS app on a browser with filesystem access and audio support? (No, Android is too locked down to meet that spec) Other required specs:
Subscription for Internet access is the one that's always baffled me. What a stupid business model. I guess devices not belonging to their buyers is not a new thing.
is it for "internet" or access to ps servers?
It was MS that started that back on the OG Xbox.
I think all the F2P ones (and a handful of others like FFXIV) are exempt from it. At least on Playstation.
It makes sense because servers are expensive to operate. The real scam is nintendo where you pay for P2P multiplayer...
It is not “biggest game library on earth” I bet, that would still be a high-end desktop running windows…
At this point, it'll be easier to count the games that wouldnt work on the steam deck.
Steam deck has an emulator so it should
You could put Windows on the deck if you're inclined to do so
I think they mean "console library"
But then you are running windows...
Yes, but it has still a bigger game library as steam deck has and thus calling steam deck having “bigges game library on earth” is just bullshit.
But maybe there is a joke in that, that woooshed over me..
Yeah but a Deck is a Pc, which can absolutely run Windows. Therefore, they are the same thing. A high end PC AND a steam deck feature the "Biggest game library on earth".
Doesn't even have to run well. The fact that you can attempt to play it in the first place let's it win the medal.
Any version of Playstation can't even attempt to play half the games on a deck ;).
steam deck can run windows afaik
Can run most windows games via proton atleast.
I would actually rather like a Steam Deck without a display but with at least one full USB4 port and the ability to split it similar to a switch.
