It may look silly to most people, but it actually looks like a great accessibility device. Assuming it can hold the device without support from the user it would be great for someone who struggles to hold it up or keep their arms bent - use a bluetooth controller on their lap and they’re good to go.

A fast action, fully responsive masturbatorium. Impressive.

PC Gamer magazine and shilling dumb ideas. Name a more iconic duo

As someone who has the mechanism mount mainly for the Kickstand, the Mechanism guy is just doing shit. He made a GoPro adapter and then stuck the Steam Deck on everything he could for the marketing email.

It is a dumb idea, he even mentioned that in the email.

Don't need it. I'm fat.

This is some Wall E shit

The GoPro Mount is made by Mechanism, creators of Deckmate and its associated ecosystem. That means that you'll need the sold separately Deckmate grip before you can even attempt to strap your Steam Deck onto your GoPro harness.

I mean, you could 3d print it as well

Make a waist mounted version: Steam Dick.

I just use an IKEA Len breastfeeding pillow...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

A breastfeeding pillow? Wat?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

It's a U-shaped pillow, that you put around your waist. You can also find them advertised as "gaming pillows", for 5 times the price.

Or you can get essentially the same for cheap from IKEA:

But can I use this to attach it to the back of an airline seat?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It's a GoPro mount so you can probably find accessories to attach it to your kitchen aid if you want

It was a reference to a Reddit post.
