Yes. It's both... And it is fully functioning as either. It's really not difficult to understand.
I also explained what i told. Its more than just both, its a target. Its really not difficult to understand.
This is where you lost most people. When they pointed out that it was incorrect you started adding more words and insisting that everyone else was wrong and you were just misunderstood.
What you’re saying about it being a target is true and is part of what makes it so valuable as a platform, but saying it’s a target does not counter the misconception in your original comment that it cannot also be a PC.
I don't know if you guys misunderstand me on purpose. My argumentation was about the initial comment that the Steam Deck does not represent PC very well. You just took one sentence out of context, where the previous part and following part is integratel part of my reply. I did not just add more words to it, i Just had to explain it later because its not understood. The full quote is:
It's just a simple explanation that you guys on purpose misunderstand. The Steam Deck does not represent PC very well on its own, because its not just a PC. It's more than its sum. It's not a new discussion either, this is going on since the launch of the system.
I tried 👍 if you’re going to start accusing people of misunderstanding you on purpose then I’m done here. Have a nice day!
From the replies, that's what I'm getting, as people really try hard to misunderstand a very simple fact I explained multiple times. I tried too, but can't do more. And even taking out quotes out of context, while the next sentence was part of it. That's pretty on purpose.
You're basically arguing that a square isn't a very good representation of a rectangle because it's more than a rectangle. But the fact is, a square is a type of rectangle, just like a Steam Deck is a type of PC.
wow
I give up. Its no use.
Finally. Thank god.
Yeah too stupid to understand basic sentences. Can't do more than that, the understanding is on your part.
Yikes dude.
Learning when to say "you know what, I was wrong," or even just, "my bad, I misspoke when I said what I originally said. What I actually meant was: " is a very important life skill as an adult. I hope you realize that one day.
I'm not wrong, I explained why I consider the Steam Deck its own thing. Please read my replies before you spread such nonsense. (Edit: Steam Deck is not just a PC, its a handheld and its a target for developers. That makes it special and is not a good representation for PC. Hopefully your small brain got that.)
