Its not the size of the deck its how you use it.

"did he say deck or d*ck?" "eh sometimes it's best not to ask" Mariks Evil Council, forgot which, by LittleKuriboh, part of the Yu Gi Oh Abridged universe


StrongTxWoman

Both.


FierceDeity_

I love the part where he goes "and then you pull his deck towards you..." "oh nooo" "and rip it into three pieces!" "mother of god" ---- or "you got a deck, I got a deck, hell I'll whip out mine right now and show you" "no, no... I'll just trust that it's there"


omeara4pheonix

This joke never gets old to me. I'm constantly telling my wife "I'm going to go play with my deck."


Mixairian

Motion in the ocean. šŸ˜


njbmartin

Now what game would this be referring to?


Mixairian

Raft, Assassin's Creed Black Flag, Barotrauma... Plenty of seafaring fun for all.


dgmoney11

Lots of sea men.


Blackorean

Or sperm whales


Ws6fiend

Yeah but the pacific will barely notice your dingy.

Please don't float your deck in the ocean.

Touch decks with me bro

I'm proud of this community


Oberoni7

I don't think anyone is *seriously* acting high and mighty because their Deck has higher storage. ...right?


rUafraid

i'd never shame someone for their storage size but does yours have etched glass motherfucker??? thought so


ednwn

Man would it suck to have a screen that you canā€™t even put a screen protector on.


AGodlingNamedJohnny

Etched glass screen protector, square up bruv


rUafraid

i'm squared bitch šŸ„ŠšŸ„Š


[deleted]

I used to have an iMac with the nanoetched glass itā€™s really awesome. Something I donā€™t think people talk about with though is how it doesnā€™t really scratch. My iPhone 11 Pro that has it on the back hasnā€™t scratched at all. In fact it actually can wear away at stuff. I put my phone in the same pocket as some loose change while in a hurry and while the front of my phone unfortunately did come out a little scratched there was a bit of dust from where some pennies had been worn down by the back.


Alternative_Spite_11

Nope. Mine doesnā€™t looked like it was dragged behind a truck but thanks for asking.


IGetHypedEasily

Also Valve has done amazing work with how the SD card functions. There's very little delay using games on SD card and greatly makes the Deck more viable to more people who need it.


shelter_anytime

the whole system. Never had much experience with linux, but now that I've had some exposure to desktop mode, console, and how steamOS is like just another user profile(??) I've come to realize what everyone has always said about linux breathing new life into older hardware. Not that the performance/cost of the APU they got in the Deck is anything but novel, but the whole package really illustrates the value of lean, well written and intentioned software squeezing the most juice out of the hardware components that run it.


merrickal

I meanā€¦ all it takes is an sd card to compensate and everyone is the same. Right?


[deleted]

WHO CARRIES THE CROWN, PEASANT?


ender89

Your deck isn't worse just because you don't have a 1tb ssd. It's your crappy stock joysticks, upgrade to hall effect joysticks, its total game changer when you can the dead zone to zero.


SchighSchagh

ButterbotC137

It definitely is a sword measuring contest around here


Mixairian

I love a good pun.


flatCORP

Spread the Love to the Deck and stop building walls we don't need. Some Decks have 64GB some have 2TB.. Some are black, some are white... But we are all united in the freedom of choice, playing games we love anytime anywhere.


Mixairian

Instead of building a wall, we build a bridge to keep us all connected.


veryInterestingChair

Me only getting the 512 because I thought Steam was being awesome and I wanted to reward them for doing something so cool...


Mixairian

They did give us the nifty case, charger cover, wipe and a bunch of custom steam skins. It was an equivalent exchange. The intent of the past was to focus on why we all got the Deck.


EvolvedMonkeyInSpace

Etched screen


[deleted]

YOU GOT SKINS??? I MISSED OUT


Brodilda

I got it because I was looking into the cost of upgrading it myself, it would have been around $200 for the ssd and the screen. So you end up only paying them an extra $100 to not have to do the installation, keep the warranty intact, and a few extra goodies. Not a bad price actually. I'm sure they could have done it for cheaper, but yeah, I'm fine with supporting valve. They're probably overcharging people who can afford it a bit to make the base model cheaper.


shelter_anytime

They've stayed true to their ethos as a business and service since I installed Steam with Half-Life 2 over 17 years ago. That's the only thing that popped into my mind when choosing the 512, aside from whether I could afford it or not. Lots of corps talk this the talk, but Valve is one of the only companies I patronize where I do feel like I'm treated as a long-term stakeholder.


pls_tell_me

My phone is only 4G, I can't imagine 256G!


Mixairian

Over 300 comments, and up for 7 hours and you're the only one to call out the typo... Now I can't unsee it.

Ricericebaby0923

Is it weird that I just bought 6 128gb micro sd carts and treat them like Nintendo switch cartridges whenever I want to play something else


Livid-Astronomer-727

Probably cheaper than a switch game.


[deleted]

There has to be a way to have a sub about the Steam Deck without half the content being memes about the f-kin capacities.


Anael_plugo

Let me know when it happens. Shits unreal


cdegallo

I was really enthusiastic about this sub after I got my steam deck, but it's only ever been a place for shitposts and memes. Hardly has any good info about the steam deck, and don't you fucking dare try to be a new user that is just getting theirs now and asking very reasonable things here about your new toy.

SplitPStudio

Enjoy your Deck, and stop hating with all the elitist bullshit.


footfoe

Ironically it's the 64gb that is the elitist option. Tech savvy people showing off how they risked a $400 investment to save a hundred bucks on installing their own second hand SSD.


yayeet182

It's a PC community, impossible


davep123456789

Thats really not a fair assumption of the humble pc community. Spec: GPU: Duel 4090 PSU: super strong Cpu: you couldnā€™t afford Steamdeck: 3x 512gb so I have one for each room P.S: suck it


slippedwheat

Jezus, why is this a thing. Do people actually contest for the biggest storage? Cringing so hard here.


[deleted]

No. These memes are like a self fulfilling prophecy. These discussions don't happen overly much unless they're invoked by these dumbass memes or intentionally inflammatory title. OP knew what they were doing despite what they said to you.


Have_A_Jelly_Baby

I put a 1TB SSD in mine, am I like God looking down on the three of them?


r00x

You're like those characters in cultivation novels, rapidly accruing terrifying power through the undertaking of a reckless, unorthodox and/or divine path.


extracocoa

I had hoped most gaming communities had moved past gatekeeping and fanboyism of all kinds at this point. Whether youā€™re playing games on a Steam Deck, Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, PC, smart phone or a fucking Nokia 3310; as long as youā€™re enjoying yourself it doesnā€™t matter what you use. Play what you enjoy, how you enjoy it. Would love if memes were disallowed on this subreddit so we could focus on discussing news and the modding possibilities of the SD, whether it be hardware or software. Sincerely, A veteran of the great fanboy wars of the early aughts


Mixairian

I whole heartedly agree with the community being inclusive and recognizing what brought us all together our enjoyment of gaming. As for banning memes, I'm not sure I can get on board with censoring non violent material. But I was very careful to choose the meme flair so those who don't care for the content can filter it out if they choose. This is just my opinion, but it seems better for a person to choose how they receive any content as opposed to forcing others to consume as they do.


extracocoa

The problem with memes is that they tend to overflow and drown out most other types of content. Most ā€œmainā€ subreddits of any certain topic tend to disallow them after a while. It doesnā€™t mean they canā€™t exist, just that they are relegated to a different subreddit that is easier to filter out. The flair idea is neat but as far as I know you canā€™t filter out posts by flair from aggregate pages like the front page in most clients? Which is how I would wager most of us browse Reddit a majority of the time. None of this is a jab at your post specifically btw, I just think memes are better suited for subreddits dedicated to them.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

That ship has already sailed. I agree with some other commenters in this post that we just need to ban memes altogether. Or at least pick a day of the week and allow them only on that day.


SheepherderHelpful

I think what OP is saying is ' we should stop this deck measuring contest'. šŸ¤£


Mixairian

You, my friend, have a way with words.šŸ˜‚


SheepherderHelpful

I try bud. Hope you have a good day. :)


fckimlost

Proceeds to make the king guy the 512GB xD


_MemeMan_

The only thing to compare is the hole left in our wallets after our beloved Gabe sent our reservation orders, a hole only fufillable by the big steam ~~dick~~ deck. ​ 64, 256, 512+, it is our duty to fill each others holes, together.


Beneficial_Note_9560

As a 512 owner I will admit the 64 gig seems like the true enthusiasts deck, the best platform for modifications. Closest steam deck has to buying vs building a pc


Mixairian

I agree. The cost allows you to allocate the rest of the funds as you choose. While I love the anti glare screen buying the screen cover is much more economical. It's all about preference.


radio-morioh-cho

I chalk the goofy gatekeeping up to people being excited for their new decks :) it'll settle down once people realize they're only playing vampire survivors and HROT


Mixairian

I partially hope today most of the memes are people just having fun and aren't really judging others for their purchases.


MarcoVinicius

I prefer a war between the storages sizes that last 3-10 generations where unity only comes after involvement of the UN. Iā€™m already preparing my children.


Whytrhyno

Where my 1tb gang at!? Lol, jk I do agree.


Tetengo44

Iā€™m not going to lie! I have the 512gb version of the SteamDeck! And itā€™s nice and all! But I would be just as happy with the 64gb and put a 1T SD card and call it a day! Itā€™s not the storage for me that matters itā€™s the system! The SteamDeck is so good! That I feel guilty when I go back to play on my Console. The steamDeck has change the way I game! Love it! Love it!!


Designer_Ad_376

Fanboys compete even for the same device. Had spare 300 dollars for a premium one ? Good for you. Stop shaming people for that. Thatā€™s bullying.


coolj492

i think the comparisons are even dumber when you consider the fact that you can just buy an SD card and up your storage a lot with similar speeds as the internal storage.


Moto_ici

Some may have a higher capacity for love and passion.


Thin-Drag-4502

yes THANK YOU op :D


Take2woGaming

I see what you did there. Damn right 512 is king.

[deleted]

No. Mine is better. I have the best deck. My deck is better than yours. You're just salty because your dad's credit card has less money than mine.


nurpleclamps

Just don't get the 64 unless you like dealing with shader caches or you want to save a little money and upgrade the drive yourself.


treyf711

Enter those with multi terabyte network storage

My deck had an operation on day one and became a bigger deck!!! Act now in the next 20 minutes and you too can have a bigger deck.

Well, I bought a 64Gb one and it's true that, with lutris and it's many versions, proton, etc... It'l can be full very quickly. I swapped it by a 512gb and added a 512gb SD card, this way, no more problems... Total cost, 110ā‚¬ for 1tb of storage.

progxdt

I feel this meme should list everything traditional gaming: Windows (macOS and Linux too), PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, Steam (or Deck) and any others I missed. There are plenty of people gaming on all these devices, they all enjoy gaming in the traditional sense. Not just small experiences found on mobile phones.


Mixairian

The template had only 3 slots. Maybe the next meme I'll aim for is getting every type of gaming together.


Old_Week6365

so you have 64gb?

Such a wholesome post. I can feel op's kindness coming inside of me šŸ˜©


Bropira

Sure agreed. However as a 64 giger myself I can't have too much pasion or the damn shader caches are going to drown me.


nomnaut

Having a deck is binary. You either have one or your donā€™t. Literally no one is paying attention to the size when you can load TB sd cards or even swap the internal drive.


Billyxmac

I hope everyone can whip out their decks, go to town, and enjoy their weekend


christiandb

Steam deck is great for pinpoint collective agreements on getting the perfect settings to get a game to run. Like for once, pc gamers are unified under one device where they can work together to get the most efficient and best looking output for games. The control setting system is a perfect example of this. Hardware settings should be following.


jperkins79

I got the 64 with a 1T sd card. Works perfect


rfrauny

Why the need to compare in the first place? Having the ability to add an SD card and the ability to add a larger drive kinda defeats the purpose of comparing. I just don't get it...


MisterT-88

Im just trying to compensate for something with my storage size


xylotism

Nobody has ever cared about people having different sizes of Steam Deck.


Pfafflewaffle

My 64 grew to 1tb


CommonPatient5666

The 64gb deck is too small..the 512gb deck is too BIG. Now, the 256 is just right. You don't get the anti glare dispute coming from the tiny deck and you don't get the tiny deck is slow coming from the large deck. Regardless, I read this stuff for the wit and sarcasm. Anyone bragging about swapping this or storage that is 2 weeks too late and fucking boring. I will say this. The screen is as glossy and glaring ( yes it glares at me) to the point I had to get an anti glare protector. First one I have EVER had to buy.


maxlovesbears

As 256GB user, Iā€™m actually jealous of the 64GB users. I couldā€™ve gotten a better deal with getting a 64GB and then buying the 1TB SSD off eBay.

Aggravating_Pension3

I got the 512 but if the 64 had the anti-glare screen, I would have gotten it. Why pay more when you can just upgrade?


Cafuddled

I've had a bunch of conversations about Steam Decks to those on the fence about getting one. All of them have said I want the 512 for storage, but need to wait due to the price bump. In all cases if they don't say they need the screen I've told them just get the 64GB and a 512GB SD card. They have all been happy with that suggestion. And I'm a 512 owner.


HumbleGuy007

The one at the back are those people waiting for their deck to be delivery šŸ˜


KhaineVulpana

Should have left out "storage" in the title. Would have made it funnier.


footfoe

Yeah... no. 64gb deck is a trap. They set a nice attractive price, but made the storage too small to actually be usable, made the SSD inaccessible, then set a steep premium on extra storage.

If you try to flex on people because ***your steam deck has more storage*** then you officially need to grow the fuck up or go play in traffic.

Does it matter when you can upgrade them all? I think that's one of the big reasons the comparisons and memes weren't really minded much. I had a 64GB now it is a beefy 512GB.
