Steam Deck Owners Furious After Valve Admits “Portable Gaming PC” Is Just A Very Chonky Oregon Trail Machine
AITA for expecting my Steam Deck to, you know, run modern games without sounding like a jet engine about to take off? Valve finally confirmed what we all suspected: that little $400 “miracle machine” is secretly just a glorified Game Boy with a delusion of grandeur. Spent my entire weekend trying to get Cyberpunk 2077 to run at 15 FPS, only for the thing to overheat and give me a live demo of a 1992 Oregon Trail dysentery death screen. TL;DR: Steam Deck is just a portable PC for people who miss typing ‘C:\games\doom.exe’ and praying. Next update: Valve will add a “Turbo” button that aggressively flashes the screen while the battery dies faster than my will to live.
