    Poor woman. Having a baby with some weirdo who installed windows on his steam deck, who brought his gaming setup when you’re in labor. Idiocracy was a prediction, not a comedy.

    Not to rain on the anti windows parade, but he has to install windows to play Tarkov. You cant play it on linux due to anticheat.

      Although I understand this on a factual level, I still question the set of priorities that leads someone to install an operating system in order to run a single game.

      Also, his wife must’ve been enthused to see he brought all his “performance upgrades.”

      Because there aren’t 100000000000000 other, much better games to play out there. Nope. Tarkov is the only game ever created that is any good. So good that people are willing to allow rootkit anti-cheat garbageware to be installed on their system to play this holy, godly, superhyper great game.

    I like how everyone is giving shit to the dude for “not being there for his wife,” because I remember the OG post from Reddit where OP and his wife were explaining that it was cool, she said it was okay and even encouraged it, and was unconscious most of the time during recovery anyway.

    I don’t even think the windows on steam deck part is even from the OG, but maybe I just missed that in the comments.

      You shouldn’t just be there because the woman is important to you, but above all the child. From that point on, it shows that he’s not in the mood and is more focused on his hobbies. So he can’t separate himself from his shitty technology at such important events and maybe just read a book or something…

      I feel bad for the kids future

      For me it’s the bit about bringing almost a whole desk setup instead of using the portable as a portable

      I can see bringing the Deck, like you might be sitting there for at least 24 hours, you don’t need to be sitting there holding their hand the whole time…

      But the keyboard? The mouse? The HEADPHONES? It’s not like you’re in an extended stay. You’re getting that baby out and going. You don’t need all that.

      Right… I hope this isn’t the begining of a shitty broken home and the birth of lost soul.

    The kind of guy who installs Windows on his steam deck is the same kind of guy who won’t let his wife get an epidural.

    If only there was a device that combined the Steam Deck with a keyboard and a 14" monitor. Like a Steam Deck that is designed to sit on top of your lap…
