Block out your annoying wife’s contractions with these Audiophile Headphones™.
I thought this was gonna be a joke about Windows on Steam Deck but holy fuck everyone needs to mind their own business.
No, it’s always important to call out abusive parental figures.
How is this abusive?
It’s not, it’s a shitpost
Is a little cringe though, but maybe Dad was expecting an extended stay
Oh I see what you mean now. I agree, call out abusive behavior but too many people seem to want to have an input on things that don’t concern them.
then go do it in the appropriate thread, not this one. its incredibly off topic

What an odd way to spend ten months.
That poor woman
Having to deal with a guy who uses windows on his Steam deck
“Wife’s pregnancy”
I’m wondering who is the father
You think he’s pregnant?
I would hope she would have known about his red flags before the baby lolol
Can’t play tarkov on steam deck without windows or moonlight and moonlight over hospital wifi would be worse than tarkov natively over hospital wifi.

He’s didn’t bring a second controller. Divorce.
Not my ideal setup but happy he’s happy.
installs windows, instantly requires system tweaks and performance upgrades.
The kind of guy who installs Windows on his steam deck is the same kind of guy who won’t let his wife get an epidural.
It’s the woman’s choice to get an epidural or not though…
He did say he played Tarkov.
If only there was a device that combined the Steam Deck with a keyboard and a 14" monitor. Like a Steam Deck that is designed to sit on top of your lap…
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
I have never understood this. People buy a handheld they then add a mouse, a keyboard, an external GPU, and a screen. And this all fits nicely in their travel bag. I like my handheld but i dont want to add all this stuff and make it a desktop or a laptop…
I don’t know how some people find the time to do anything but help take care of mom and the baby. I was either sleeping or helping while trying to find time for food.
Everything you saw and thought, “I should help with that.”; they don’t.
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,
Why would anyone brag about any of this. His poor partner.
Engagement/rage bait. Or maybe it’s just satire?
Le setup. I love these guys posting their balls like this
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.
Wait wait wait, WINDOWS installed?
To be fair, a lot of anticheat tools don’t play nicely with Linux.
A few, not a lot, and not on any games worth playing

Just a cavalcade of poor decisions.
I mean the headphones make much more sense than the keyboard and mouse imo.
You wanna be able to hear if your partner needs anything. Ear buds would at least mean that they can only put one in at a time.
You’ve never worn headphones with one half off your ear before? Arguably better than just putting one earbud in, because you can still hear the game audio.
Those are over ear closed backs with thicc pads, no way are those going to be comfortable to one ear. Some Grados, maybe, but again the more important thing is hearing things in the room, not the game.
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.
Right… I hope this isn’t the begining of a shitty broken home and the birth of lost soul.
This is the kind of setup that once it’s complete you smile at how awesome it is, then pack it up because you don’t know what you even want to play and most of the games I do I wanna play i wanna play on a better monitor.

Extraction shooter, but it’s getting extracted from the womb.
Windows
You Monster. I thought the worst part was setting up a gaming set up while your wife was in labour was fucking stupid but WINDOWS?
I’m no audio expert, but I feel like “audiophile headphones” and “headphones you can power directly from a steam deck” are probably mutually exclusive
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.
Impedance and audio quality are not intrinsically linked.
I use planar headphones which are not too bad to drive, but most of the time I need some extra power. The deck actually is capable of blowing my eardrums out still
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.
