Like, you are the human embodiment of hype? Hype made manifest?

I have become hype, destroyer of expectations.

I already build a Bazzite PC. Just waiting on this to turn it into a proper Steam Deck on crack.

That looks soo uncomfortable to hold

I’m going to guess it’s scaled so it’s basically like holding the Deck today, minus the screen. It’s a render and possibly a render of an older prototype.

Honestly I said the same about the Deck when I bought it... Fast forward 1 and half year later, my playtime is now 99% on the Deck 😅.

I haven't seen one of these in person. Is it roughly the size of a Sega Game gear?

The screen is roughly the size of a Game Gear. (Not my photo.)

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

The internet is amazing sometimes.

I just wish more people knew how to use it. All I did was search DDG for Steam Deck Game Gear size comparison.

if there is anyone still alive to make the comparison for you they are probably too busy celebratinng their second grandchild

Those are fighting words, and also pretty inaccurate unless you're from Louisiana or something

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

haha. I am old enough that I could have had one if my family wasn't really bad with money. I just never knew anyone else that had it either
