Gaming

Steamdeck took over most of my gaming. It's by far the best gaming device ever made imo.

I have a full gaming rig, but mainly play on my Steamdeck - it's so much more convenient to just be able to pick it up and play.

After zero PC gaming in forever I got myself a Steam Deck and have been loving how it performs!

Series X has been my focus but the lack of decent games made me move elsewhere before Starfield drops.

But also have a Miyoo Mini V2, and a jailbroken Switch.

PS5 for me! I’m basic :)

Primary is now Steam Deck.

PC is pretty much used for work and installing games to move to the Steam Deck.

I only play on my Steam Deck and/or on my Desktop running Arch(btw)

Desktop Specs: OS: Arch Linux CPU: Intel i7-9700K GPU: Intel Arc A770 Limited Edition RAM: 2x8GB 3600 MHz

I mainly play https://geoguessr.com in a bog standard web browser. Ubuntu. No console or advanced gaming pc rig.

PS5 mainly. I do have a gaming pc but at the moment I'm just casual gaming on the sofa when I have time. I love the PS5, I think it's the best Sony console since the PS2.

Mostly PC (Linux), sometimes Switch. I also have a Raspberry Pi as a retro console emulator for old stuff like the original The Legend of Zelda.

I have my main PC, plus a retro gaming / emulation machine for the living room, and an anbernic RG 351 MP (handheld) that can emulate just about everything up to the N64. All GNU/Linux.

I mostly play steam games, plus Xonotic, Beyond All Reason, and Veloren. I've been playing Animal Crossing with my partner lately, and Windwaker on the living room machine.

I just don't see much value in mainstream consoles these days when you could instead have a proper computer and all the versatility that brings.

Linux desktop running Manjaro - mostly use Steam Games and Veloren

Ps4, pc and mobile.

Obligatory "Fuck Google" for killing Stadia.

Steam Deck, it's been great for working through my backlog.

for me it's one of:

• PS5
• Xbox Series X
• Steam Deck
• Switch
• Analogue Pocket
• Analogue Super Nt
• PS Vita
• PS3
• 3DS

not really by order of preference, but i guess how much i've used them recently

Arch Linux (btw)

(on desktop not a laptop or anything)

Only on my Switch. I only have so many hours I can dedicate to gaming with my job, a master's program, and taking care of my 2.5-year-old.

Wish I could get a PS5 though. There are some PS5 titles I'd really love to try.

Steam Deck.

I've never owned a decent gaming machine, for various reasons. Cost was a big factor. Another was the fact that I was never a big "gamer". Very little desire to play the big, popular, AAA games in general. The games I did play, I played on a very old PC, and the performance was what you'd expect from low end hardware; but I just never had any desire to build my own gaming rig.

The Steam Deck is perfect for my use case:

• I have no desire to run Windows
• I have no desire to build my own gaming machine
• I have no desire to get locked into a console ecosystem (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, etc).
• I can play handled, docked to a monitor with keyboard and mouse, docked to a monitor with a controller, docked to a TV, etc etc
• I can play games built for Windows
• I can play games with native Linux builds
• I can play Steam games, Epic games, DRM-free games, emulated games, etc, etc
• I can do whatever the hell else I want to do with it. For example, maybe I might want to run Kodi on it, and connect to my Jellyfin server at home to watch a movie if I'm staying at a hotel. Whatever. It's just a computer like any other. I can do whatever I want.

I think I've probably played more new (to me) games since buying my SD than in all the years (decades) previous, and I love it.

PC, Steam Deck.

PC for multiplayer titles that require comms, and Steam Deck for everything else.

This is a PC household, I gave my 3 kids their own computers and steam accounts and I have a PC and a steam deck I don't think my kids even know how to use a controller

My main battlestation has a medium-sized CRT and underneath it is a Wii, a Genesis, a Saturn, an Atari 2600, and a Canon V-20 MSX. I also have a Switch with a split pad pro and a Game Gear that's always tethered to an outlet in the bedroom, and have a few games on my laptop

I play on my PC mostly. Using my switch for the first time in a while just for totk. Also play on my steam deck a bit love that thing.

Used to be a console guy, then after xbox one - me and all my gaming buddies went to PC. Now I play on a PC I built myself and I own a Steam Deck!

I'm a PC guy myself. I use a PC desktop w an AMD 3900X, nvidia 3080 Founders Edition. I also love my steam deck and have a Valve Index for VR.

I seem to be using the steam deck more and more since I'm on a pixel art retro JRPG kick and the deck handles them with ease.

For all of my gaming needs, I have a desktop PC running Linux as well as a Steam Deck. I recently came back from a trip that had me using my Steam Deck a lot, and it was great.

100% Steam Deck for me! Though I might charge up my Switch again for TOTK this summer....

PC exclusively nowadays. Not a fan of forced obsolescence rampant in consoles. Maybe the odd phone game to pass the time, but those are usually the most basic of games.

Steam Deck mostly, had a gaming PC but it died. I use my Xbox one for game pass games.

Windows PC, Steam Deck, Switch, PS4, PS2

Steam Deck, Analogue Pocket, and a desktop running Pop!_OS

Steam Deck or one of my Linux machines.

Primary machine:

Fedora 38 CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (12) @ 3.600GHz GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 5600 OEM/5600 XT / 5700/5700 XT Memory: 7043MiB / 15899MiB

Also have a little NUC and an older machine. All on Linux.

I usually game on my pc - Linux, but I use windows 10 for VR. I've heard that VR gaming on linux is very bad.

I have a Nintendo Switch for nintendo games, but these days I play more on my 3ds for older emulated games and ds games.

Mainly on desktop, I use Debian 12, and it has an RX 6700 XT, i5 11400f, and 64GB ram. I have a Nintendo Switch I use sometimes, and I just finished a project I had for a weird gaming phone setup steam deck-ish thing for emulation with a used OnePlus 7 Pro I bought for cheap and a Gamesir X2 that I leave on it 24/7 with a custom OS

Mostly on my PC (Windows 10) and Switch. I also have phases, where I play way to much Legends of Runtera on my smartphone 🤷‍♂️

I general stick with a GBC or GBA with an Everdrive, as well as a DSi with custom firmware. It gives me the benefit of original hardware without paying the absurd retro game prices.

The Switch and my Linux PC. And the Analogue Pocket, love that thing.

PSVR2 with HonsVR prescription lenses and a Switch.

My vision sucks due to double vision so I have to use handheld to get it close enough to my face to see it. (the farther away things are, the more the two images split apart) So it's Switch and Steam Deck for me.

PC, been upgrading it piecemeal since windows xp days. currently has these specs https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GcGqH2 I'm due for a gpu upgrade

Nintendo Switch, Steam deck, New 3DS, Miyoo mini Plus, RG35XX

PC mainly, AMD 5800X and and a GTX1080. Unfortunately it's located in my bedroom, so so for late night gaming I am limited to my Xbox series X. I do have a Switch sitting in it's dock ready to be used but I don't ever seem to have the desire to do so.

Almost entirely PC only. I have a bunch of retro consoles but rarely use them.
