In the early days I thought it would be some niche gimmick that would never take off. Turns out it wasn't and it's the best handheld gaming machine ever made.
It feels good to be wrong!
I adore mine. Not the best for GPU-intensive games like Elden Ring or Resident Evil 4 remake.... But for essentially everything else it's just the best.
Minecraft, 90fps Balatro, Slay The Spire, Binding of Isaac and similar.... 90fps Dark Souls 1-3 - 90fps!
Very, very happy.
I only have a switch because of my nephew. It hardly gets any use otherwise. Then i found balantro and now it's basically a balantro machine. I do wish i had a steam deck instead of a switch.
How are you playing DS1 at 60+ fps on your steam deck? I thought the game was limited to 60
PTDE can be played above 60 through DSFix with minor physics bugs.
Remastered cant as all the logic is tied to the fps.
Sorry that's a mistake I made from happily typing '90'. You're quite right, it's capped at 60.
To be fair I have invested in a lot of their "niche gimmicks that will never take off". I've owned the steam link and the OG steam controller (my dad still uses that controller to game, he really likes it). I love the steam deck but none of the handhelds have the right ergonomics for my little hands except the Switch, and so I use mine docked. But even then it's a game changer not needing a huge gaming rig to play games.
