Comment on Steam Deck OLED announced
PainInTheAES@lemmy.world 1 year agoI do see your point but my use case is that I like to play casually in bed, I like that I have the option to bring it on the go, and I like to sit down at my desk and game with the boys or play FPS. I mostly use it in docked mode these days because I’ve been really busy.
My buddies and I want to play the new Baldurs Gate soon. Which doesn’t run too hot on the SteamDeck. Perhaps with an eGPU it could.
I have a gaming PC as well in another room. Which I stream to the SD sometimes. But it’s honestly a bit of a chore compared to using the SD.
As a side note I find the SD software pretty decent. Not sure if that was directed to the Ally.

I meant specifically Asus' eGPU environment. It does require plugging it in, using a physical lock, then switching over, hoping it doesn't crash, maybe rebooting if it gets temperamental...
It's honestly far more of a hassle than just having two setups. I'm writing this after playing a bunch of Spider-Man on a handheld while lying in bed. I get the appeal, but at the end of the day desktop PCs are better at desktop PC things.

Yeah, fair enough, that eGPU solution doesn’t seem very convenient
