The Steam Deck has finally been surpassed — by a fork of Valve’s own experience - Bazzite turns the Asus ROG Ally X into today’s best handheld while putting Windows to shame. (www.theverge.com)

Valve leaked a Steam Controller 2 thumbnail in their SteamVR drivers recently:

I'm hype.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] ggppjj@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have become hype, destroyer of expectations.

10/10 save

That looks soo uncomfortable to hold

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?

[–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

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

The internet is amazing sometimes.

[–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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

[–] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months 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

[–] fartsparkles@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

ok what would make sense

[–] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

If ducks tied bananas to their feet.

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