would it be crazy to sell my ps5 and buy a steam deck

I just got a steam deck a couple months ago, and while I still have my PS5, I don’t look at it much anymore.
Though if you have both, you can use your deck as a PS Portal.

i hardly play the playstation anymore, only for the LAD games really which apparently run good on the deck? i’ve been wanting the deck for awhile and figured i could basically splurge and get the oled if i sell the playstation plus a few games.
the ufo 50 thread is primarily driving this impulse.

ufo 50 will run on an old laptop, but yeah i’d go for the deck vs a ps5

Follow your heart. Steamdeck OLED is fantastic and I only turn on the PS5 to play spiderman with my kids. UFO50 is worth it.

I think the move is steam deck now or delayed gratification and jump to pc after 50 series gpus finally come out and drag down the 40 prices

what’s the timeline/expected cost impact? i do like the portability of the deck and ~$500-ish price tag (or less in my case)

the mid range 50s out maybe next spring. 3080s and 4070s are about $500 rn so maybe in several months it’ll make sense to build a pc based on one of those GPUs. A 4070 will get you ray tracing and frame generation etc, more expensive but maybe the wiser purchase. So a replacement for the PS5 with room to grow. You don’t get the portability though. That said, steamdeck makes a lot of sense in and of itself

The deck always looked to me to be too huge heavy and power-hungry but I am probably in the minority. It’s way cheaper and more compact than a gaming laptop which is its segment’s only real alternative. From that prism it’s a very cool device.
Not really useful for the current discussion but I am excited to see if the rumoured Xbox handheld will do anything unique enough to let it compete meaningfully with the Switch 2 or Steam Deck.

trying to figure out what game is being described here, or if it’s a plausibly accurate recollection. This is long-time bassist for The Fall Steve Hanley disclosing that Mark E. Smith had played a Sonic The Hedgehog game. Would have taken place prior to the start of the US The Infotainment Scan tour (began August 19th, 1993).
(Hanley, Steve and Olivia Piekarski, The Big Midweek: Life Inside The Fall. Route Press, Prontefract, UK, 2014, p. 327.)

I think I have it reasonably figured out. This would have been a MegaTech cabinet which would have played the console verson of Sonic The Hedgehog
MES would have “played” the following attract screen until being found out (unclear which stage as they cycle)
Notice that the coin slot is positioned unusually high on the cabinet structure, so it makes sense that a partially-inserted coin would visibly fall from it.
Considered the outside possibility that it could have been SegaSonic The Hedgehog, due to the release (June 1993) and the cabinet’s confirmed distribution in the UK. But take a look at the attract screen. No chance anyone could be deceived.

Do indie developers use code names for their in-development projects? Like when kory is working on a pico-8 game is it called Project Osiris or something
