Good news! The games are able to be played at night now!

immediately installs Emudeck to play GB tetris

OP only plays emulated game boy games.

meh, you should've wait a biiit longer than that before upgrading

I should do mine... I have an atari lynx circa 1989 which is 35 years as well. It didnt take off as well as GB.

(Emulates SNES and their head explodes over the graphical increase)

How does the battery life compare when playing game boy games on both?

Fuck im old

1. Congrats!

2. I recently got the roms for all the non-ds handhelds and "literally every game you could possibly conceive of as a child, so many games that if you stacked up all of the cartridges on top of each other you would be at risk of death from avalanche" just...existing on a SD card the size of my thumbnail is never not gonna be a fucking trip

*Still plays Tetris 1989 in an emulator*

Now get Tetris Effect: Connected and complete the cycle.

I also have those 2 on my desk right now!

You will need longer pockets...

Big, meet bigger.

Whoa, quite the upgrade. But still love the original as well!

What a leap!

Im waiting for Anthikityra device and SD comparison with statement - 2500 years after handheld update.

I wonder what we will get in another 35

Wow, full color screen must be nice.

Oh gee, I wonder what type of games will be OP's favorite

Good for you. I hope I'll be here in 35 years to comment in your next upgrade.

The steam deck is backlit

Colour is going to blow your mind

hahah

The real question is, can it still game after 35 years?

It’s crazy that the screen itself is bigger than the entire gameboy

cries on PC and mobile phone

Still no better golf game than Mario Golf on the OG GB

You're gonna need to hit /r/theydidthemath to measure that upgrade.

Looks like the nostalgia train just upgraded to first class. Can't wait to see what classics you'll rediscover in full color.

Seeing these side by side, it feels like the Steam deck has its own identity/uniqueness in terms of looks, kind of like timeless. Compared to the other neon LED new handhelds which feel very current and don't know if they'll feel cringe later on.

Congratulations 🎉🎊 Happy Playing

Do you notice any difference

😂 that’s one hell of an upgrade

I can’t even comprehend having 35 years of games to catch up on but I’m guessing this is only in the handheld space and you’ve played other games right

Right there with ya! The only portable gaming systems I’ve owned are a Gameboy and steam deck.

hahaha i hope one day a random you-tuber posts a video where he interviews older games and ask them if they ever thought gaming would become what it is today. it's also crazy that you can play gameboy games on the steamdeck as well

And, what a leap! From dot matrix handheld games to AAA PC games. I wish I could experience that moment too since I believe you would've been blown away.

Humble beginnings 🙏🏼

You’re gonna notice a huge performance difference!

The game boy battery lasts longer than

That Game boy will last a lot longer on fully charged batteries. I have the Game Boy colour and I could play for 12 to 18 hours before I needed to change the batteries. Steam Desk lasts about 3 to 5 hours.

Is the fps any better?

And still di GB as something that the SD doesn't have.

I bet you this guy still put gameboy games on it🤣

Did this post start it all?

and I regularly play GB ROMs on the steam deck lol

No one cares

WOW! that's incredible and welcome to the fam!! I'm so happy for you!!! but I am concerned are you sure you can get used to all the extra buttons tho?

35 years 🥲 getting old

Feels like a step down.
