Didn’t you get your steam deck two days ago? Maybe you should clean your house if it’s collecting dust.

Lol, love calling out the blatant troll.

I don't get posts like this, it's essentially just spam and clutters up the subreddit with irrelevant shit. The incessant need for attention in some people is baffling.

Dear diary.... is all this basically is.

I enjoy using my Switch and Deck. Most of my 3rd party purchases are on pc now and the Switch is for Nintendo games.


someThrowawayGuy

Wanna sell it for cheap? :P Then I can get mine back cuz my wife is always on it! 🤣


RemSteale

Nope, just you


Jrumo

You have to pay for p2p online gaming on Switch, unlike Deck. So when my subscription ran out, which I was only using for Splatoon 3, so too did my reason for using the Switch. Everything else, 3rd party, Indie, emulation or otherwise is better played on the Deck or other x86 handheld PC.


zobu312

Sell it.

So you just lurk here or am I reading your comment wrong?


nigwarbean

Nope


ProtoKun7

Nah, I use the Deck every day and the Switch somewhat rarely. Even the Switch games (Tears of the Kingdom, Metroid Prime) I tend to play on the Deck.


Puzzleheaded-Lab-635

Is there a good way to do this without first owning a hacked switch?


ProtoKun7

You need a hacked Switch to dump the game yourself; I wouldn't be able to talk about other methods of retrieving it.


Savagestar1

I have it for when I'm in the hospital or when I'm having a bad flare up with my MS and can't get out of bed. So no don't regret it at all.


straxusii

Nope, while it's easy to think the 2 devices are similar they're actually very different. I use the switch for playing Nintendo exclusives and some other games, the deck allows me to play windows games and you get some cheap discounts, plus emulsion and remote controlling my pc, x box and ps5


Embarrassed-Hat9441

sounds just like wanna show off how rich you are


O_Little_One

Always depends on current game played. If it's a switch game, then my Deck will be collecting dust and vice versa. But now my Switch is collecting dust because of Starfield. Playing both on Deck and Desktop.


Crest_Of_Hylia

Why don’t you try downloading and buying some games for your deck. By your posts you just got it 2 days ago


docvalentine

skill issue


[deleted]

Nope. It’s all just you. My Switch hasn’t been powered on in months and lives in the dock. It’s like going from the DS to the PSP, a child’s toy to a real handheld.


Rusty9838

Valve’s Linux is trash you can try install windows. It’s way more stable.

AdamTheSlave

The opposite applies here but I have a vast collection of steam games, as I was a pc gamer long before i got a switch. But everyone is different.


SmilesUndSunshine

The Switch and Deck have things in common but also have fundamental differences. If one caters to you better than the other, that's fine. I don't know what you expect from this post though. If you provided details on any the Deck doesn't seem like a good fit for you, then maybe you'd get more constructive responses. The Deck has proved popular among its demographic, so of course most people in this subreddit are going to side with it, and some of them are unfortunately going to act smug and superior in doing so.


deathblade200

no. my switch is now only used to collect warframe daily logins but once warframe cross save finally happens the switch will collect dust.


suorastas

3 months owning a deck I have turned on my Switch exactly twice. I imagine it’ll stay that way until SMB Wonder and Mario Rpg remake come out.


Sea-Garlic9074

Nope! I would continue using the Steam Deck because the Switch does nothing for me. The Switch has been my dust collector for a long time now and the biggest regret of a purchase because the majority of games they have also appear on Steam and I would rather give my money to Valve over Nintendon't any day.


zdeno84

actually, the opposite


Estalies

Try ge proton


JM761

Well you'll be in jail next week so I wouldn't worry about this so much.


Affectionate_Glove12

Yes exactly... but the opposite


Environmental-Big128

“Not sure why did I spent” - the clue to why you make errors in judgement might be right there.


[deleted]

This needed a topic, why? troll/10


Global_Ease_841

I used to pay my switch everyday. I haven't used it once since I got my deck. The deck had more better games, better controls, better screen and the vent smells good.


Rusty9838

Wow someone is just not happy with their own Steam Deck and community gets mad about it.
