I modelled and printed a custom mount for my portable monitor for my deck, it's surprisingly comfortable to hold

I’m sorry this is ridiculous

Don't be sorry, you can judge me

Not for low-vision people or older people who have issues with the smaller screen. Could be a solution if someone like that ended up with a Steam Deck and didn't realize they'd have an issue with the smaller screen, and maybe they just have a spare travel monitor lying around.

Also there's a contingent of people out there who just enjoy modifying stuff because they can. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

Yeah, I usually have my external/portable monitor with me on business trips for work, and the Steam Deck for after-work relaxation. Using my external monitor with it, and don't have to use my work laptop seems like a major plus in my book

Yeah but at what point does it just become a pc with a controller...

[–] Really_long_toes@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

That is... Literally how I would describe the steam deck, that's why I love it <3
