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.

I would hope she would have known about his red flags before the baby lolol

The kind of idiot that boasts about "system tweaks" and "audiophile headphones".

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.

Why bring mouse+keyboard when the steamdeck has it's own control and takes less space?

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.

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.

You guys have clearly never had kids. It almost never goes like in the movies, you rush into hospital, and then you wait. Especially if the water broke, then you wait few days. There is absolutely nothing to do in the hospital. I would have killed for steamdeck, or even a switch.

I can see bringing the Deck, like you might be sitting there for at least 24 hours, you don't need to be sitting there holding their hand the whole time...

But the keyboard? The mouse? The HEADPHONES? It's not like you're in an extended stay. You're getting that baby out and going. You don't need all that.

Windows on steam deck Is blasphemy

For me it's the bit about bringing almost a whole desk setup instead of using the portable as a portable

I see this as an absolute win for Linux

Although I understand this on a factual level, I still question the set of priorities that leads someone to install an operating system in order to run a single game.

Also, his wife must've been enthused to see he brought all his "performance upgrades."

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
