What an odd way to spend ten months.
steamdeck
windows
I think this is an offense worthy of capital punishment
Playing Tarkov on a screen that size might as well be impossible lol.
Imagine trying to spot killa power sliding across the halls of interchange in the dark fog from 150 meters out. Good fuckin luck lol.
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.
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?
Poor woman. Having a baby with some weirdo who installed windows on his steam deck, who brought his gaming setup when you’re in labor. Idiocracy was a prediction, not a comedy.
Why bring mouse+keyboard when the steamdeck has it’s own control and takes less space?
EFT has like 100 different keybinds for every type of movement and action. Not uncommon to have ctrl, alt, and shift all set as different modifiers for 5-10 keys.
FPS?
You don’t really need when the controller has touchpads and gyro
OMG I’ve been playing FPS with a controller since I was a baby.
A NEWBORN BABY.
It’S an FPs I HAve tO USe keYBOard aNd MoUSe othERwiSE I CaNt dO iT!!
Her * smocking crack cocaine*: This wouldn’t affect my baby.
The baby:
I think someone can tolerate joysticks when in a hospital room.
EFT players can’t.
I mean it was probably consensual so the only person I feel bad about is the kid.
Block out your annoying wife’s contractions with these Audiophile Headphones™.
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.
Isn’t it also… Ridden with filthy cheaters? Lol
I see this as an absolute win for Linux
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.
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.
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 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
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
Windows on steam deck
Explains the behavior lmao
Windows on steam deck Is blasphemy
Who the hell puts Windows on a Steam Deck? What a loser
Oh and he’s not being present with his wife
That poor woman
Having to deal with a guy who uses windows on his Steam deck
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.
You can. I just played until level 36 and uninstalled.
Lol Windows.
What idiot would install windows on a steam deck. Defeats the whole point.
The kind of idiot that boasts about “system tweaks” and “audiophile headphones”.
His “audiophile” colleagues would also murder him for plugging them into a 20 cent onboard DAC chip and still calling it an audiophile setup
tbh the decks dac is surprisingly good- at least with my planar IEMs
Guessing that his game of choice didn’t work on Steam OS
That said I wonder about the frame rate—this game is notoriously demanding/heavy AFAIK
He should choose better games then.
BSG have said they plan on adding linux support, just not their top priority.
It’s probably because he’s playing tarkov multiplayer
Tarkov runs on linux tho.
Ah I assumed it was one of those multiplayer games that had an anti cheat which made the game not work on Linux.
Oh you are right. But the multiplayer anti cheat does not work at all and theres a opensource single player version that is better in every single way
Unnamed because…
I did install windows on a microsd to play some online games with my steamdeck. It’s a so-so experience, but at least means you can literally play anything on the steamdeck.
But at what cost!
Just get an ROG Ally at that point
SteamOS is still the main OS. I’ve just got a microsd for dual booting. I feel like a ROG Ally would be a downgrade at that point.
Dual boot Bazzite and windows(?)
My thoughts exactly
Why would anyone brag about any of this. His poor partner.
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.
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.
Wait wait wait, WINDOWS installed?
Just a cavalcade of poor decisions.
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
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.
Le setup. I love these guys posting their balls like this
