    If you have a recent flagship android phone you probably don’t need a Steam Deck.

    My old Samsung S23 Ultra and a phone cooler and controller is basically just as good as a steam deck these days. I was playing Hades next to my gf last night, we were both playing the same game and it looked way better on my setup and the game ran smooth for both of us.

    Compared to the Steam Deck my phone is 120hz and nearly double the resolution, The snapdragon 8 gen 2 CPU and Adreno 740 GPU have more Gflops, It only has 12gb of ram vs the Steam Deck’s 16gb. The Steam Deck also runs on Linux and has more compatibility. I’d rather have a Steam Deck personally but it’s hard to justify buying it when I have something that is nearly just as good.

    I was about to buy a some kinda pc handheld then stumbled upon the Odin 3 and then realized my phone is basically the same specs and basically with some decent cooling and how far GameNaitive has come, it’s a pretty decent gaming handheld. Not to mention this phone uses the aluminum back to help cool so adding on cooling is super easy. I use the GameSir X5 phone controller and the FX5 Thermoelectric Cooler which I kinda have to angle around my camera to get over the cpu and gpu but it works quite well.

    I have an another one with a super beat up screen that still works that I’m going to try and setup in dex mode for a steam console/emulation station on one of my TVs. There are even guys taking apart phones and putting them in these cute little baby pc towers with crazy cooling on YouTube.

    Anyways I didn’t know all this till recently so just spreading the word.

    I think there are plenty of diverse opinions but far less bots and also in order to be drawn to the fediverse you have to be smart enough to figure out how to sign up and use it and also smart enough to see the value in decentralized social media, 90% of people just don’t get it and because that is the bar to get you get the opinions from a community composed of smarter, more informed, more open minded people. That doesn’t mean we disagree, I got banned from the stable fusion AI image generation instance cause some of the art made it into the top posts and I started talking trash about AI and it’s ethical usage. I stopped using my lemmy.word account cause they defederated a piracy instance and I rather pirate content than give fascists or billionaires my money, an issue many people would disagree with me on here.

    I’ve been apart of nerd herd for a while, I’ve gone from Slashdot, to RSS feeds, to Digg, to Reddit which reigned the longest but I’m mostly out of that hell hole aside from trouble shooting help, I was even on facebook when you had to have a college email to sign up (also out of that hell hole), and now I’m full sending Fediverse. All of these things have been best at the beginning, these communities were all made beautiful because they were not the masses, they were the people that hungered for something more. I think the fediverse is very promising, though I do worry what will happen when it becomes more mainstream, I think we got a long while till that happens and I’m also interested to see how it will go down but at the end of the day, if it enshitifies like everything else, people like me and this ones on here will find something different, maybe it’s a completely different internet like lora communities, who knows but to answer your question no I’m not worried.
