Deck was my Trojan Horse. I actually bought it as a remote play accessory for my PS5 that could also let me emulate retro content and enjoy some older PC games that never came to PS.
Instead, my Steam library ballooned and I ended up repurchasing games I already owned on PS just because they were dirt cheap and ran fine natively on the handheld.
Last month, I came across an opportunity to buy a Steam Machine and discovered that there was enough of an additional mark up in my region that I could spend the same amount of money and build what is essentially a supercharged PS5 Pro. So I took that route and now I’m just waiting on the CPU, and whether or not Amazon upholds a miracle bargain on some RAM I found on their store. (I expect the seller to cancel when the time comes to ship it.)
My PS5 will henceforth be relegated to exclusives only and PSVR2 labor.
Good news, you don’t even need the PS for the vr, there’s an adaptor!
I actually already bought one for my new PC, but while the PC outclasses my PS5, I don’t know how well a Bazzite/AMD build is going to handle the PSVR2 hardware, let alone run stuff like RE4R/7/8 with VR mods when I can just play (some of) them on the the PS5 already.
