Extraction shooter, but it’s getting extracted from the womb.
I don’t know how some people find the time to do anything but help take care of mom and the baby. I was either sleeping or helping while trying to find time for food.
I was sitting next to my wife for a few hours talking to her (we brought food and so on, so no need for me to go anywhere).
I mean, I would have had time to play games, but I doubt I’d still be married. Tbf, I never even thought about that possibility before seeing this post.
I could maybe understand it, if it was a problematic pregnancy. Like, the wife of a friend of mine had to lie in a hospital bed for several weeks before giving birth to reduce the risk of premature birth. You’ll want to spend as much time there as possible, but after sitting in a room together for weeks, this might start to sound like a good idea,
Everything you saw and thought, “I should help with that.”; they don’t.
Playing Tarkov on a screen that size might as well be impossible lol.
Imagine trying to spot killa power sliding across the halls of interchange in the dark fog from 150 meters out. Good fuckin luck lol.
I thought this was gonna be a joke about Windows on Steam Deck but holy fuck everyone needs to mind their own business.
No, it’s always important to call out abusive parental figures.
How is this abusive?
It’s not, it’s a shitpost
Is a little cringe though, but maybe Dad was expecting an extended stay
Oh I see what you mean now. I agree, call out abusive behavior but too many people seem to want to have an input on things that don’t concern them.
then go do it in the appropriate thread, not this one. its incredibly off topic

What an odd way to spend ten months.
steamdeck
windows
I think this is an offense worthy of capital punishment
Windows
You Monster. I thought the worst part was setting up a gaming set up while your wife was in labour was fucking stupid but WINDOWS?
He’s didn’t bring a second controller. Divorce.
That poor woman
Having to deal with a guy who uses windows on his Steam deck
Can’t play tarkov on steam deck without windows or moonlight and moonlight over hospital wifi would be worse than tarkov natively over hospital wifi.
You can. I just played until level 36 and uninstalled.
“Wife’s pregnancy”
I’m wondering who is the father
You think he’s pregnant?
I would hope she would have known about his red flags before the baby lolol
What idiot would install windows on a steam deck. Defeats the whole point.
The kind of idiot that boasts about “system tweaks” and “audiophile headphones”.
His “audiophile” colleagues would also murder him for plugging them into a 20 cent onboard DAC chip and still calling it an audiophile setup
tbh the decks dac is surprisingly good- at least with my planar IEMs
I did install windows on a microsd to play some online games with my steamdeck. It’s a so-so experience, but at least means you can literally play anything on the steamdeck.
Just get an ROG Ally at that point
SteamOS is still the main OS. I’ve just got a microsd for dual booting. I feel like a ROG Ally would be a downgrade at that point.
Dual boot Bazzite and windows(?)
But at what cost!
It’s probably because he’s playing tarkov
Tarkov runs on linux tho.
Ah I assumed it was one of those multiplayer games that had an anti cheat which made the game not work on Linux.
Oh you are right. But the multiplayer anti cheat does not work at all and theres a opensource single player version that is better in every single way
Guessing that his game of choice didn’t work on Steam OS
That said I wonder about the frame rate—this game is notoriously demanding/heavy AFAIK
He should choose better games then.
BSG have said they plan on adding linux support, just not their top priority.
My thoughts exactly
installs windows, instantly requires system tweaks and performance upgrades.
The kind of guy who installs Windows on his steam deck is the same kind of guy who won’t let his wife get an epidural.
It’s the woman’s choice to get an epidural or not though…
He did say he played Tarkov.
I’m no audio expert, but I feel like “audiophile headphones” and “headphones you can power directly from a steam deck” are probably mutually exclusive
I’m betting that it can drive 250Ω headphones. Verifying.
EDIT: Yup. DT990s actually doing pretty decent.
EDIT 2: Not that I expect that OOP has actually nice-sounding and comfortable cans (the latter, along with repairability, is the reason that I have em in the first place), since they referred to them as “audiophile” headphones.
I use planar headphones which are not too bad to drive, but most of the time I need some extra power. The deck actually is capable of blowing my eardrums out still
Not necessarily, some high-end headphones manage to have a low resistance and high sensitivity combo and are easy to “drive” without a dedicated amp.
Impedance and audio quality are not intrinsically linked.
If only there was a device that combined the Steam Deck with a keyboard and a 14" monitor. Like a Steam Deck that is designed to sit on top of your lap…
I have never understood this. People buy a handheld they then add a mouse, a keyboard, an external GPU, and a screen. And this all fits nicely in their travel bag. I like my handheld but i dont want to add all this stuff and make it a desktop or a laptop…
Pfft next thing you’ll tell me is that it’ll “fold up” when you’re done with it, get real pal your head is in the clouds lmao
Not my ideal setup but happy he’s happy.
