Why can't valve into aesthetics?

Why can't valve into aesthetics?

the deck has better aesthetics

But which is more comfortabler?

Deck controls are great though

Trackpads

Easy placement to switch your finger between analog and d-pad

Firm grips that eat right into your palms.

The right analog placement is kinda retarded though.

muh incelpads

ergonomics > aesthetics

And the Switch beat the Deck on both.

it doesn’t look bad at all, it just needs smaller bezels desu

Deck is more comfortable to hold for long sessions. Joycons are fucking terrible.

If the Switch 2 is anything like the Switch 1, the Deck by a country mile.

Function over form, anything else is wrong

Is this dude measuring the glass and not the screen?

more control options are a bad thing

ok

Form is a part of function with handhelds anon

Mouse joycon beat gay trackpads any day.

2025

still mindbroken over the 'eck

what causes this?

You've never even used it.

switch 2 looks like a console, steamdeck looks like a penis warmer

my personal preference is better than your personal preference

ok

Incel

Do nintendo marketers really?

Deck is more comfortable. If you want aesthetics, buy some shitty iphone.

People becoming mindbroken over the switch 2

Tendies have fragile egos

It's the reverse. Steamies got buyer remorse over getting the Deck instead of Switch 2.

You can tell that the Switch 2 mouse functionality is great because they showed it off with an FPS game and not some gimmicky Wii-tier waggle bullshit.

Hi, nintendo marketer.

Deck looks better.

okay babyhands

That looks uncomfortable as fuck

Who cares? Buying a Deck 2.

See
Self fulfilling

The deck looks way nicer.

Considering the Switch 2 is just the Switch but bigger and heavier, the Deck, easily. Way better ergonomics and an actual grip.

The right analog placement is kinda retarded though.

It's one of my favorite things about it. It got that bit of ergonomics right. I wish that was the standard for all controllers, not the offset.

ergonomics doesn't translate into appealing designs

Tendies were really REALLY hoping the Switch 2 would just objectively crush the Deck so they could smear their shit all over the board and gloat because despite what they constantly say, they do view it as competition and a threat. But the Deck still being the better system is sending them into a fit, so they're doubling down on their usual fudposting.

Switch is like Zendaya, just because she is everywhere doesn't mean I will ever like her, even less when prettier girl exists

And that's even with deck being valve only, not available in stores nor having enough marketing.
My guess if tendies would pull their usual "b-buy both" if Deck 2 was a massive success

I like the Steam Deck, but thst shit look like a Game Gear

inb4 muh soul

no

Nigga fuck you, the retarded xbot analog layout fucking sucks, kill yourself.
The Wii U gamepad got it right.

When will they announce deck2?

but thst shit look like a Game Gear

Soul

Announce? Probably in a year or so and absolute not release it during these tariffs.

Dude, you are delusional

Pretty much the only reason I never bought a deck, it's as elegant as its creator during his peak weight.

Tendies have nothing worry then. Switch 2 day one sale will completely crush the Deck's entire lifetime run.

There's nothing delusional about that. Nintendo fanboys constantly shit up deck threads.

How can the Switch be less comfortable than the deck if the latter is fuck huge?

And yet the Deck will still be the one getting all the games and far better support.

They took a shitty laptop SoC and hacked a handheld around it from parts lying around the office

Because it's way better to hold. Holding my deck and then picking up the switch feels so wrong. The only nitpick I have with the deck's ergonomics is it is a bit heavier, but the switch 2 is going to be 1.2lbs so whatever, they're all getting fat and heavy.

Right... Especially when it already can't run games released last year while Switch 2 can

The switch has shit form

They understand that usable, ergonomic controls are more important.

Valve fanboys are delusional niggers is how. They rarely even actually use the steam deck as a handheld, they just dock it. That's why they're obsessed with it being a PC, even though it's virtually useless as a PC

The wii U gamepad is the most uncomfortable piece of shit I have ever had the displeasure of using

'eck solved the PS/Xbox controller stick war

Because nintendo likes to make rectangles and bolt buttons onto them and they've been doing it forever

Such as?

insane tendie schizobabble

Actually, they took the SoC from a cancelled standalone VR headset
The SoC hasn't ever been used in a laptop

Got mogged in power department

B-b-but the $550 Deck model has OLED screen (lower res, half refresh rate, no VRR)!

B-b-but Deck is fatter so it's better to hold!

It's hilarious

You'll love to see it kek.

Star Wars Outlaws.
inb4 it's a shit game! Who cares!
Yes it is, but it's a sign of things to come.

Nintendo fanboys shit up any not Nintendo thread and at some point mods even remove popular threads.

Those kind of grips don't even fix the issue, because the circle pad and d-pad are still directly vertical of one another, so you still have to move your thumb in a weird position and get cramps. You need something like picrel

What makes you think switch 2 is getting a port of this game

He's just shitposting and you fell for it.
Learn the signs instead of blindly replying.

the steam deck is sexy though. and two-tone black and white always looks shit.

Steamies are delusional, I remember when they were defending steambox

they literally showed it in the direct
but it's going to look shittier than the lowest PC settings at 240p upscaled and run at 15 FPS

Steamies aren't a thing fag don't drag PC gamers into your gay console wars

There was nothing wrong with steambox

steamboxes were good though. i can't wait for them to come back after steamos gets released

If you wanted to make that claim, you shouldn't have posted that image. The joycons are ugly as fuck and are as uncomfortable to hold as they look.

thinks steamies are PC gaymers and synonymous with it

You use steam dont ya

The only problem with Steamboxes is that they were too early. If they came out now, which is supposedly what deckard is, it's just another nail in the console coffin.

Good save.

nigger pc gamers just bought the steam deck because they wanted a handheld pc not because of the valve logo on it. you will never understand PC don't even bother.

switch looks like cheap android gayming tablet.

But enough about the Deck.

Aw yes what a pc gamer truly wanted is to replace keyboard and mouse for console controller layout plus a locked down specs
So you basically wanted a console oof

The deck looks like a controller with a screen slapped into the middle. It is much more respectable.

yeah. a PC console. glad you finally came to this revelation, retard.

No tendies in my house. Handhelds are a bad meme. I just use the emulator on my desktop like a normal human being who doesn't live in a shoebox. Handhelds were intrinsically made for tokyo urbanites who live in 400sqft micro apartments

Best purchase I made for the Switch.
Went with the Comact first and they felt nice but access to the dpad was still ass.
Split Pad Pro is good and regular on sale for 40 bucks.

The bad part of a console is the locked down software, which the deck does not have

Consoles are prisons, the Deck is not.

because valve has a lot of high function autist that are geniuses

The Steam Deck weights 100 grams more so it loses in ergonomics.

This is the sole reason I waited this long to buy Steam Deck.

neither of them has a cup holder

Both shit

Console controller is not a bad thing if a game supports console controller. However, Deck has enough extra buttons and options to comfortably play native PC games.
Deck offers you a freedom of a PC and a comfort of a console.

The form factor of switch allows it to be disassembled.

Upgrade the specs of a Deck, ill wait

upgrade your PC

stream games

play anything on ultra settings

Wow what a great handheld experience!

you never held on in your hands

Oh no, not a whole .2lbs, save me miyamoto-man my strength is waning!

And with like 10 hours of battery life

lol

You can stream games to a tablet with a telescopic controller and it's still going to weight less than the Steam Deck.

still the exact same shitty, stubby little sticks with drift

You know Nintendo has their head up their ass when they fixed literally nothing about the Switch.

no trackpads

If carrying around a big chunky fucker is too much effort, just mod it into a Steam Brick.
