if the hardware and development teams at Valve, which gave us the quality of the SD, finds design/ergonomic improvements to make in a SD2... I hope they don't get dissuaded from making those changes from random reddit posts.

It looks amazing on such a small screen. Even better on the OLED. I have a Steam Deck but there's just something I always miss about when handhelds were smaller.

What I'm going to say may be controversial in this sub, but I don't see the Steam Machine making a big difference here, the Steam Deck, even though not produced for retailers like other devices, had the advantage of being portable, which is arguably more appealing to the masses (and easier to justif

Sometimes I don't want to be in my setup and I just want to be in the couch with GF and the dogs. Or just dock it to the TV and play together.

I think they've done a lot of testing on comfort anyways. Despite the bulk I'm sure they've laid it out to be as comfortable as possible.

I was the complete opposite, spend nearly a grand on building a gaming rig, coming from consoles fell in love with pc gaming however since getting a steam deck and then a legion go 2, my desktop pc never gets used now, just love gaming while relaxing on the sofa

First of all steam deck oled display is better than most of the even expensive oled monitors, although my monitor is still better. Secondly it's more relaxing to play lying down on a couch or in bed. Im 31 years old with a full time job, come home around 1700, do daily chores and time is 19-2000. Pl
