What do you use your phone for then?
No, wait, I don't want to know.
Imo the most iconic and representative of the best place for steam deck is while traveling.
8 hour flight? Do I have my deck?
Careful, if you spend 8 hours playing with your deck you might go blind
I feel attacked (currently scrolling from the toilet)
(Upvoting from toilet)
(currently scrolling from the throne) Fixed that for you
LMAO
I need to take a shit and I'm sad I can't take my game with me (I don't have a steam deck).
Buy a phone controller (like Razer Kishi or Razer Junglecat) and use some streaming technology to play your PC games on phone. My favourite is Sunshine/Moonlight combo, but Steam Link might work as well for you.
Just use steam (or ps/xb) remote play
“We play on the throne”
Why is there a toilet in the gaming room and in the living room in the first two pictures?
The joke is that handheld gamers can play anywhere, well at least with this edit. The original only had him on the toilet.
I took this as "i play on a gaming chair, couch, or anywhere else" or maybe "steamdeck is a pc, console, and handheld"
Misread that for a second...
As a lifelong PC gamer, I plug in my PC wherever I want it. It's currently plugged into my TV...
...Gathering dust while I sit in front of it using my steam deck
Or from the car or in bed under the covers.
I started using Steam Link to switch between all those choices, ultimate freedom
Mobile players do it on the go. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Disgusting. I have never and will never use my phone or a gaming console in the bathroom. I go to the bathroom, and then fucking leave. I'll never understand sitting there forever.
So glad for you to have properly functioning bowels. You're among the lucky ones and should just be grateful and shut the fuck up
I envy your guts. I wish mine were as good as yours.
I take it you don't have kids.
Taking 10 or 15 minutes to "shit" is a much needed break. Especially when there's another parent home (or the kids are old enough) and you can shut the door.
Then there's the old "boss makes a dollar I make a dime" adage...
nice touch adding the toilet to the office and parlor.
THE PORCELAIN THRONE!
I did not come to sit and wonder
I have come to SHIT LIKE THUNDER!
Bold of you to assume I didn't build my battlestation around the shitter.
If you go to the bathroom you're not playing Battlefield
VR desktop streamers, do the same thing but optionally in multimonitor 4k and don't have to look at our hands the whole time. Also can play on a recliner comfortably. My neck is in so much better shape since I started using my VR headset to stream instead of a phone or other handheld. Plus the screens are 20 feet away, nice on the eyes. And still take up 80 degrees of my field of view. Not sure what effective size that makes them, but it's bigger and nicer looking than a theatre screen.
I once tried it for work, it was nice, just lying down in a comfortable position and simply moving the screen wherever I wanted it.
that sounds fuckin' nice.
Been PC gaming on the couch for years now, either using a controller, trackball and 75% keyboard or a steam controller. Mouse pads are for work only as far as I'm concerned.
me doing all 3 in bed
Doing toilet?!
Please friend, do the ~~needful~~ toilet.
You people use the backbuttons?
All the time
On most games yes, a typical example is I bind them to the thumbstck buttons, because using them wares down the thumsticks faster
Always, when a game tries to force me to use a stick-click to sprint or I need to perform an action with ABXY while turning via right stick/pad.
Their positioning is sadly uncomfortable for me, since I do enjoy the ones on my modded ps5 controller.
There's bumpers you can add to raise up the back paddles. I wonder if those might help.
I've been begging for such buttons since fucking 2009, and everyone laughed at me for wanting customizable controls.
Look who's laughing now. (it's me, with my mouse and keyboard and lack of friends and I never need to touch a controller again!)
Steam Input is amazing, and something that I feel doesn't get nearly as much credit as it deserves. You can literally make anything do anything. You can even create on-screen rotary menus and shit.
I can stream my PS5 to my Steam Deck, and use the gyro to aim in an first person game. Like, really fucking easily. I set it up so if I'm playing Chiaki4Deck and press one of the back buttons, it swaps between gyro on and gyro off.
I saw a comment on Lemmy a while back where someone said they hated steam input and I just didn't understand what possible issue anyone could ever have with it.
