What in the world were you expecting? Of course they do! It's the ultimate handheld gaming machine, running a full-fledged PC operating system and capable of playing almost anything a PC can. I would have loved a device like that when I was little.

The possibilites with the Steam Deck are just amazing. We're currently playing Yoshis Woolly World on Cemu in coop mode. Fun for both me and my boy :)
Lost mine to my wife within 5 minutes of getting TotK running in Yuzu, that was weeks ago.
My girlfriend but yeah. I'm happy she enjoys it, but that was not the plan :D
"Oh, you've got old school Nintendo games too?"
I ended up setting up a couple of emulators on an old laptop so I could have it back. She's more of a gamer than I am and I've just about got her convinced to grab a deck for remote play on her PS5. If I don't convince her soon I'm getting a second one because I know I'm gonna lose it again once she's done with NES.
Set her up with Chrono Trigger for SNES once she's done with NES era and you'll have about four days all to yourself to plan more defenses, such as Final Fantasy and Metroid
So we're playing a tower defense game
I seem to have made my kids purists. They think emulators are cancer and that you must have the actual console for authentic exprience.
For just in case I made them a retropi with shit-ton of roms.
Safe so far.
That’s why I bought two 😅
You are clearly smarter than I am.
And richer.
Bought mine, kiddo wouldn't let go. Bought her one, now she won't touch hers or mine 🤷♂️
It's always those things you don't have that are the most interesting.
They've already taken the SX, the PS5 and the Switch. I'm not even going to let them have a sniff of the Steamdeck.
Once my eldest gets her hands on it I'll never see it again.
Once they're addicted to sniffing the steam deck vent, it's not yours anymore. Better not let that happen.
