You putnin a 1Tb MicroSD card (<$70 on amazon thatsbfast enough to play games from). If that’s too hard, maybe a SteamDeck isn’t for you.
Hard disagree. Sure, I might be okay with doing that, you might be okay with that, but the success of the Steam Deck hinges on its accessibility and ease of use.
The people on a Steam Deck Lemmy community are not representative of most users, and I recommend the Steam Deck frequently to others based on its ease of use, not it’s moddability.
I will concede that Steam’s support of parts and upgrades also has long term positive implications, even for people that just buy it to play games. Even if the average user never cracks it open to swap out the hard drive, they probably know someone who could. A broken screen for a Steam Deck is a repair, not a replacement for example.
lol. I like it and have been using it fine. I don’t see how you equate the ease of a task with how appropriate a form of entertainment or technology is. They are two completely disparate things. Believe it or not I do not use my steamdeck mostly as a platform to remove and put back in screws along with moving around electronic components.
I don’t know if you replied to the right comment, the Steam Deck has a microSD card slot on the outside, no need to touch any screws.
yup. sorry. since your comment came in the midst of a discussion about changing the internal storage I assumed it was another comment along that line rather than heres another thing you can do. the original subject though is on the internal storage which a microsd card is all fine but im not going to install games to one. I actually don’t see using a microsd except if using it as a linux pc. after all the steam saves are stored on my steam account.
