if you really wanted to you could just install Windows 10/11 onto a MicroSD and boot to Windows.
You really shouldn’t. Running dual boot on your ssd is only slightly harder than installing windows, and there are step-by-step guides to show you how

If microsoft would release a gaming handheld, it will probably just be an xbox all together lol
Id say the fiasco with the m1 chip and compatibility is staying their hand pretty firmly lol
Hey that was my last reason to stay locked into nvidia cards, now i can just go for the best price/performance
I was going to build a simple profile manager program to help do this, but never got around to doing it. If anyone else wants to steal it, my idea was:
Steam stores a single file holding each controller layout, it was going to be very jank because directly editing those files is tricky and could break things. Instead, the idea was that you would create a profile in steam’s interface as your default or desktop layout, and then my program would take that layout and back up the file as a different name, then when you wanted to swap between them the program would simply rename the files, all with a barebones ui maybe just displaying the profile names. Would work out of a console window if it weren’t for no keyboard lol
I would hope they’d be able to get that working much more reliably when both ends are known to be their hardware…
But also yeah, IHS is a huge coinflip depending on your home network too
I wouldn’t hate a non-portable steam deck, especially if they can make in-home streaming between the steam machine and the deck seamless
Oh, its only 10% off right now
Tbh i didn’t even look how high the discount was, i knew i wanted the game and it was 13$ so i just went for it lol
I saw a Steam Deck at Disneyland being used to operate “autonomous” robots in Star Wars Land.
I think mkbhd did a video showing that off recently if anyone is curious
Everyone always says balatro and i finally got it on sale and now i can’t stop
Are there really that many games running at 60? I swear i play most of mine at 30 on my deck and they look perfectly fine, smaller screen helps with a lot of that imo
Idk man, their laptops are pretty over engineered imo. Bad cooling just so they can get rid of vents, touchbar that holds important system commands that just crashes…
But mostly they get better efficiency because there’s no hardware variation to account for. And even then, their mx processors were causing a shit ton of compatibility issues with some of the most popular mac software. I would assume a lot of those are ironed out by now though
also whether or not all the power on that chip is able to be used or if its just going to thermal throttle at 50% load
I don’t care enough to upgrade, personally, and i also keep a windows partition for EAC games, and the OLED doesn’t have good windows drivers
The fuck is blockchain going to do for gaming
Past tense, NOW they have made themselves notorious for canning successful projects that don’t make enough. They just recently did it to one of the og creators of halo
No ea game is worth the hassle because if it isn’t made into some form of pay to win lootbox shitfest, EA is likely to can the game and the developer all together. N E V E R trust ea with singleplayer.
Small and self published devs are the way forward, capitalist corps can and will eventually optimize the fun out of every game they touch in search of profit margins.
I don’t use my touch pad a whole lot, so maybe i should test it out some! Ill give your way a shot sometime soon lol
But in general i prefer my alpakka controller to the steam one anyway, super smooth gyro
Sd cards aren’t meant to be constantly written to, games are fine by themselves, but the windows OS is CONSTANTLY reading files, making changes, writing logs, deleting temp files, and writing over them, etc.
It won’t happen immediately, and it will depend on the grade SD card you get, but eventually your sd card is going to fail and you’re either going to lose data or your windows install will start chugging cause the SD can’t keep up with the writes anymore. Plus, the SSD will be closer to the bus and get faster r/w anyway.
I assume the people who go around saying its not a problem just got a higher end card or are lucky and haven’t had a problem yet.
Its essentially the same argument as “smoking will give you cancer”
