I don't know how some people find the time to do anything but help take care of mom and the baby. I was either sleeping or helping while trying to find time for food.

Everything you saw and thought, "I should help with that."; they don't.
Extraction shooter, but it's getting extracted from the womb.
steamdeck
windows
I think this is an offense worthy of capital punishment
What an odd way to spend ten months.
Windows
You Monster. I thought the worst part was setting up a gaming set up while your wife was in labour was fucking stupid but WINDOWS?
Poor woman. Having a baby with some weirdo who installed windows on his steam deck, who brought his gaming setup when you're in labor. Idiocracy was a prediction, not a comedy.
Why bring mouse+keyboard when the steamdeck has it's own control and takes less space?
EFT has like 100 different keybinds for every type of movement and action. Not uncommon to have ctrl, alt, and shift all set as different modifiers for 5-10 keys.

Block out your annoying wife's contractions with these Audiophile Headphones™.
Not to rain on the anti windows parade, but he has to install windows to play Tarkov. You cant play it on linux due to anticheat.
I see this as an absolute win for Linux
Isn't it also... Ridden with filthy cheaters? Lol
Although I understand this on a factual level, I still question the set of priorities that leads someone to install an operating system in order to run a single game.
Also, his wife must've been enthused to see he brought all his "performance upgrades."
I imagine they're dual booting.
if they already have a copy of the OS anyways, I totally get it. If you have the resources to play the game you wanna play, any would you intentionally deprive yourself of that?
But yeah, bringing all that to the hospital is fuckin nuts. God I hope that his wife is a huge nerd too and that this was like a joke between them and he didn't actually use it during active labor or after the baby was born.

I like how everyone is giving shit to the dude for "not being there for his wife," because I remember the OG post from Reddit where OP and his wife were explaining that it was cool, she said it was okay and even encouraged it, and was unconscious most of the time during recovery anyway.
I don't even think the windows on steam deck part is even from the OG, but maybe I just missed that in the comments.
People don't realize how much downtime there actually is even in a normal pregnancy. Baby and mama get sleepy. But in something like an emergency C section scenario, especially if the baby is early you could be looking at a half week recovery period for mom and the baby gets locked up in NICU jail for a week... Where you only get visiting hours for your own kid.
For me it's the bit about bringing almost a whole desk setup instead of using the portable as a portable
Yeah seriously use a gaming laptop at that point. The point of the Steam Deck is that it's compact and quick to put away

Who the hell puts Windows on a Steam Deck? What a loser
Oh and he's not being present with his wife
What idiot would install windows on a steam deck. Defeats the whole point.
The kind of idiot that boasts about "system tweaks" and "audiophile headphones".

Playing Tarkov on a screen that size might as well be impossible lol.
Imagine trying to spot killa power sliding across the halls of interchange in the dark fog from 150 meters out. Good fuckin luck lol.
Lol Windows.
Why would anyone brag about any of this. His poor partner.
You guys have clearly never had kids. It almost never goes like in the movies, you rush into hospital, and then you wait. Especially if the water broke, then you wait few days. There is absolutely nothing to do in the hospital. I would have killed for steamdeck, or even a switch.
I can see bringing the Deck, like you might be sitting there for at least 24 hours, you don't need to be sitting there holding their hand the whole time...
But the keyboard? The mouse? The HEADPHONES? It's not like you're in an extended stay. You're getting that baby out and going. You don't need all that.

The kind of guy who installs Windows on his steam deck is the same kind of guy who won't let his wife get an epidural.
