Because the games that run on the Steam Deck are PC games, no emulation required. It's a joke.

Are you my stalker? Do we get to be friends now?

No and no. I specifically use the notes function in kbin / mbin to tag odd accounts, just like back then through RES & MassTagger on Reddit.

Depending on their Desktop's architecture it might be required, arm systems do need to utilize CPU emulation to run programs made for x86-64. It's not usually as involved as emulation of a console platform but it's emulation no less.

Steam Deck is an AMD APU that is AMD64/x86_64 architecture.

They were talking about "emulating a Steamdeck on their desktop" implying that their desktop isn't a SteamDeck.
