I would hope she would have known about his red flags before the baby lolol

Can't play tarkov on steam deck without windows or moonlight and moonlight over hospital wifi would be worse than tarkov natively over hospital wifi.

The kind of idiot that boasts about "system tweaks" and "audiophile headphones".

I did install windows on a microsd to play some online games with my steamdeck. It's a so-so experience, but at least means you can literally play anything on the steamdeck.

Why bring mouse+keyboard when the steamdeck has it's own control and takes less space?

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.

Windows on steam deck Is blasphemy

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

People don't realize how much downtime there actually is even in a normal pregnancy. Baby and mama get sleepy. But in something like an emergency C section scenario, especially if the baby is early you could be looking at a half week recovery period for mom and the baby gets locked up in NICU jail for a week... Where you only get visiting hours for your own kid.

I see this as an absolute win for Linux

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."

Can’t run it on linux? Can’t run it at all.

Not necessarily, some high-end headphones manage to have a low resistance and high sensitivity combo and are easy to "drive" without a dedicated amp.

Pfft next thing you'll tell me is that it'll "fold up" when you're done with it, get real pal your head is in the clouds lmao

I was sitting next to my wife for a few hours talking to her (we brought food and so on, so no need for me to go anywhere).

I mean, I would have had time to play games, but I doubt I'd still be married. Tbf, I never even thought about that possibility before seeing this post.

I could maybe understand it, if it was a problematic pregnancy. Like, the wife of a friend of mine had to lie in a hospital bed for several weeks before giving birth to reduce the risk of premature birth. You'll want to spend as much time there as possible, but after sitting in a room together for weeks, this might start to sound like a good idea,
