steamdeck

windows

I think this is an offense worthy of capital punishment

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

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?

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 60 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Hiro8811@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Why bring mouse+keyboard when the steamdeck has it's own control and takes less space?

OMG I've been playing FPS with a controller since I was a baby.

A NEWBORN BABY.

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 2 points 3 hours ago

I think someone can tolerate joysticks when in a hospital room.

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

I mean it was probably consensual so the only person I feel bad about is the kid.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 44 points 7 hours ago

Block out your annoying wife's contractions with these Audiophile Headphones™.

[–] Deralax@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 7 hours ago (6 children)

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.

[–] Vivendi@lemmy.zip 22 points 4 hours ago

I see this as an absolute win for Linux

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 21 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

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."

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 hours ago

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.

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

Can’t run it on linux? Can’t run it at all.

[–] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

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.

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.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 hours ago

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.

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 11 points 6 hours ago

For me it's the bit about bringing almost a whole desk setup instead of using the portable as a portable

Windows on steam deck

Explains the behavior lmao

[–] amon@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago

Windows on steam deck Is blasphemy

[–] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz 41 points 10 hours ago

Who the hell puts Windows on a Steam Deck? What a loser

Oh and he's not being present with his wife

[–] the_q@lemm.ee 34 points 11 hours ago

Lol Windows.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 347 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

That poor woman

Having to deal with a guy who uses windows on his Steam deck

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

“Wife’s pregnancy”

I’m wondering who is the father

[–] Jyek@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 6 points 9 hours ago

You can. I just played until level 36 and uninstalled.

Why would anyone brag about any of this. His poor partner.

[–] fossphi@lemm.ee 4 points 6 hours ago

Engagement/rage bait. Or maybe it's just satire?

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 42 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I mean the headphones make much more sense than the keyboard and mouse imo.

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 hours ago

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.

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 38 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

Wait wait wait, WINDOWS installed?

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 20 points 13 hours ago

Just a cavalcade of poor decisions.

Hoping he means just for the labour, not the whole 9 months

What idiot would install windows on a steam deck. Defeats the whole point.

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

He should choose better games then.

[–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

BSG have said they plan on adding linux support, just not their top priority.

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.

[–] Amanduh@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour ago

It's the woman's choice to get an epidural or not though...

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

He did say he played Tarkov.
