    All I did was point out that no, the Steam Deck isn’t the best deal for everyone. Chill.

    But since I’m back here already, if you’re trying to sell me the Steam Deck as a Playstation 5 Pro replacement I’d expect visual parity with at least the regular PS5, at comparable framerates. Which I know the Deck isn’t capable of. It isn’t a replacement for a stationary console or PC because that’s not what it’s designed to be. It’s primarily a handheld, designed to compete with other handhelds.

    And I wasn’t going to go there but ease of use is also a major point in favour of the Playstation because you won’t have to deal with “getting around” things, ever.

    Different people have different use cases which are best served by different devices.

      By saying something objectively silly, which was my point

      Chill

      Can’t get any more chill than right now BBY

      Pretty silly thing to expect given they’re entirely different devices

      It isn’t a replacement for a stationary console or PC

      Just wrong: it plays the same games and literally is a replacement for a PC if you want to go that route. Its not a top-of-the line monster powerhouse, but that’s never what it claimed to be

      And I wasn’t going to go there but ease of use is also a major point in favour of the Playstation because you won’t have to deal with “getting around” things, ever.

      Lol Sonys User experience on PS5 is painful compared to using the Steam Deck for 95% of what you do, the other 5% breaks them even at best, if not leaving Sony in the dust of their pathetic design and walled-gardening

      No shit? Doesn’t change the fact that you’re objectively wrong about the steam deck though
