Unless the user is mostly searching for an emulation device. For that use case, android can prove to be quite decent.
But personally, I’m on the deck team too 😁
Comment on AYANEO Pocket Air Review - The Best $299 Android Handheld
insaneduck@lemmy.world 1 year agoYou are forgetting one of the main advantage pf steam deck - much bigger and imo much better selection of games compared to android. All games android can emulate can also be done on steam deck to that is draw but pc games vs android games? I don’t think there is even a competition there.

Outrageous in what sense?

This is the retrogames community. Soo I think emulation is really the goal here. Not playing pc games on steam.
So op wanting something smaller with a better screen is valid.

PS3/360 can be considered retro now, and the Deck is powerful enough to run rpcs3 and Xenia, along with Cemu and Yuzu/Ryujinx for more modern Nintendo stuff.

Yes and no, I couldn’t get stable frame rates on ps3 and it wasn’t enjoyable. Like my steam deck but it’s not the “end all be all”

Is it really that retro if the games are inherently the same as today’s? Yes, yes, I know today’s games are much much better in terms of graphics, sound, AI, etc. But overall, many games are still 3D quests or 3D first person shooters.
Compared to, say, the Super Nintendo.

Seeing as there are now fully grown adults who have grown up with those consoles, I’d say yes. Was the PS1 retro 10 years ago?
