This really depends on the game. A long game of one of the new dooms? Unlikely. Disco Elysium, or something largely 2D? No problem.

I've done a 3h SD session on a train ride (trains and planes is also where you can't stream games) and... it's ok. Could be more comfortable, but also it's good enough.
- snide 3y agoYep. The Steam Deck is great and it's all about usecase. Like I said it's a different category of device. Myself, I was unaware there were other options out there and figured folks might be interested in things like the G Cloud and the Odin. Cloud-based gaming has gotten pretty nice.
