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.
And then you realize you should propably spend time with your wife who is about to go through some of the worst experiences in life of having a baby and dealing with all the shit afterwards.
What an odd way to spend ten months.
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.
then go do it in the appropriate thread, not this one. its incredibly off topic

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.
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…
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…
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
Why would anyone brag about any of this. His poor partner.
Le setup. I love these guys posting their balls like this
Engagement/rage bait. Or maybe it’s just satire?
Right… I hope this isn’t the begining of a shitty broken home and the birth of lost soul.
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.
Wait wait wait, WINDOWS installed?
To be fair, a lot of anticheat tools don’t play nicely with Linux.
To be fair none of the games where their AC blocks linux are worth playing anyway.
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.
Hoping he means just for the labour, not the whole 9 months
Lol Windows.
Who the hell puts Windows on a Steam Deck? What a loser
Oh and he’s not being present with his wife
Windows on steam deck
Explains the behavior lmao
Windows on steam deck Is blasphemy
I like how everyone is giving shit to the dude for “not being there for his wife,” because I remember the OG post from Reddit where OP and his wife were explaining that it was cool, she said it was okay and even encouraged it, and was unconscious most of the time during recovery anyway.
I don’t even think the windows on steam deck part is even from the OG, but maybe I just missed that in the comments.
People don’t realize how much downtime there actually is even in a normal pregnancy. Baby and mama get sleepy. But in something like an emergency C section scenario, especially if the baby is early you could be looking at a half week recovery period for mom and the baby gets locked up in NICU jail for a week… Where you only get visiting hours for your own kid.
For me it’s the bit about bringing almost a whole desk setup instead of using the portable as a portable
Yeah seriously use a gaming laptop at that point. The point of the Steam Deck is that it’s compact and quick to put away
You shouldn’t just be there because the woman is important to you, but above all the child. From that point on, it shows that he’s not in the mood and is more focused on his hobbies. So he can’t separate himself from his shitty technology at such important events and maybe just read a book or something…
I feel bad for the kids future
Bruh newborns sleep a lot.
So do women recovering from childbirth.
Most of what they’re doing is sleeping.
For multiple days, you’re kind of just at the hospital to be support when needed. There’s not a lot to do if you don’t bring it with you.
One thing is clear about a lot of guys here, and that’s that they don’t have children and are almost certainly single.
Yeah at the very least you need a book cause shit gets boring and you’re luck if you have a tv in the room
Not to rain on the anti windows parade, but he has to install windows to play Tarkov. You cant play it on linux due to anticheat.

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.”
I imagine they’re dual booting.
if they already have a copy of the OS anyways, I totally get it. If you have the resources to play the game you wanna play, any would you intentionally deprive yourself of that?
But yeah, bringing all that to the hospital is fuckin nuts. God I hope that his wife is a huge nerd too and that this was like a joke between them and he didn’t actually use it during active labor or after the baby was born.
Can’t run it on linux? Can’t run it at all.
Because there aren’t 100000000000000 other, much better games to play out there. Nope. Tarkov is the only game ever created that is any good. So good that people are willing to allow rootkit anti-cheat garbageware to be installed on their system to play this holy, godly, superhyper great game.
Let people like things
I think you can play PvE Tarkov because the raids run on your machine (except for Streets). But if you’re already willing play PvE you might as well play SPtarkov which does work on Linux and has a modding scene that offers a significantly better PvE experience.
EDIT: just a PSA that Tarkov uses Battleye, which supports Proton. Just like with almost every other game the only reason you can’t play Tarkov on Linux is because the developer doesn’t want to you to do that.
Isn’t it also… Ridden with filthy cheaters? Lol
It’s almost as if kernel level anti cheat is no match for heuristics and more secure game code.
