Read Joshywise’s PC gaming woes, and how the Steam Deck has cured them:
As is sometimes the case in life, love bloomed in the back seat of a car, and heartbreak followed soon after. The time was 2004, the car was a Vauxhall Astra—in a shade of red that would, years later, give way to a peeling pink—and in the back seat were me and a copy of. The love was sharp and immediate: suppressed weaponry, hi-tech font, and a hero with night-vision goggles of smouldering green. The heartbreak was predictable, but cast no less a shadow on the months, and years, to come.
Of course, I was a fool. The laptop—while packing a DVD drive, and jewelled with lozenge-like media-player buttons—was not built for the purposes of decamping reality. It was meant for word processors, e-mails, and a little light surfing—humble functions, which would eventually grind to a halt amid a sticky deluge of Dr Pepper. This basic problem, to any reasonably experienced player of PC games, would have been obvious.
Enter the Steam Deck, the portable gaming PC that is releasing, with a pressurised hiss, across the land. The company responsible for this brutish slab of glass and brushed plastic is Valve, who ship it directly to customers.
Not that the Switch comparison is all that helpful. Sure, both consoles are to be cradled, with the assistance perhaps of a lap; or to be fixed above one’s chest, with your elbows planted in the mattress like a pair of pitons. But these creatures were designed by very different companies. Whereas Nintendo likes to tuck you into its hardware, fastening the duvet snugly around your neck, Valve, following the example laid forth by its most important game, hands you a crowbar and allows you to pry.
