Is steam deck worth it

At worst, you can DECK someone with it.

Steam Deck is good for indie games, or ports of handheld games.

It's pretty big, and a bit on the weighty side, but it is not a problem for me since I do not play it outside.

Do note Steam Deck is running linux, so get ready to do some tinkering depending on the game you play.

it's a tool of liberals and christ deniers to undermine the supremacy of windows in the gaming market.

I know a ton of guys who have them to play while watching trashy TV with their wives. They all seem to like it. I'm trying to find the time to build a steam box to use as a console since my steam library is huge and I refuse to buy a console.

Steam deck is nice. The controller is completely customizable which is great if you want to play older pc games that weren't designed with a gamepad in mind. So for instance, you can set up the track pads as number keys so if you play something like doom where the weapons are assigned to numbers you can quick swap to whichever weapon you want without having to scroll through them. The battery life depends on what you're playing, the graphics settings, and framerate... i play the original deus ex with graphics mods and no frame limit and the battery lasts 8-9 hours... red dead redemption 2 with highish graphics settings and the framerate locked at 30, though, is only like an hour and a half to two hours

Someone I know has got one, and they look far less shitty in the flesh than in the marketing pics. Also nicer to hold and use than you'd expect with a premium feel to it.

That said, it's still kind of a gay thing to own as an adult. How often really is it going to be the ideal time to break out your giant fricking handheld PC to play some autismic PC game? I couldn't think of a single use I'd have for it. Even if I was still doing a daily train commute I couldn't get passed the cringe factor of imagining seeing an adult playing a Steam Deck in public and then imagining being that adult.
