Here's a fun one for you. What do you do when you're a game developer and your laptop dies? Use your Steam Deck to continue developing of course.

    I always have both an appreciation and judge people who do things like this.

    I appreciate it because it’s neat that people are willing to go the distance for the fun of it. People who limit themselves to specific tech or libraries. People who code for old tech like those who make brand new “retro” games, or code for Pico-8.

    Then the judgement comes in. Just… Jackie chan why.

    I still appreciate the dedication!

      Read the story, it wasn’t just for fun, it was their only working PC!

      I mean they could have just used a mouse and keyboard with it, then it’s just a modest pc

        I assume they did, the article doesn’t mention that they didn’t use peripherals. No way they did it all on the tiny screen with touch keyboard

      The guy’s laptop broke shortly after he got his deck, so it was more an act of desperation than a willing choice.
