A fast action, fully responsive masturbatorium. Impressive.

I just use an IKEA Len breastfeeding pillow...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A breastfeeding pillow? Wat?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's a U-shaped pillow, that you put around your waist. You can also find them advertised as "gaming pillows", for 5 times the price.

Or you can get essentially the same for cheap from IKEA:

Make a waist mounted version: Steam Dick.

Don't need it. I'm fat.

It may look silly to most people, but it actually looks like a great accessibility device. Assuming it can hold the device without support from the user it would be great for someone who struggles to hold it up or keep their arms bent - use a bluetooth controller on their lap and they’re good to go.

That's how a brother ends up on the couch, mate

If your lucky she might be into it leading to some really nerdy gamer BDSM

The GoPro Mount is made by Mechanism, creators of Deckmate and its associated ecosystem. That means that you'll need the sold separately Deckmate grip before you can even attempt to strap your Steam Deck onto your GoPro harness.

I mean, you could 3d print it as well

I made https://twystlock.com which offers a free 3D printable belly stand if anyone would like it.

[–] doughless 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But can I use this to attach it to the back of an airline seat?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's a GoPro mount so you can probably find accessories to attach it to your kitchen aid if you want

[–] doughless 3 points 1 week ago

It was a reference to a Reddit post.

I want to see someone all tacticooled out with a steam deck on their plate carrier

Steam Deck rail mount for an M16

PC Gamer magazine and shilling dumb ideas. Name a more iconic duo

[–] BigPotato 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As someone who has the mechanism mount mainly for the Kickstand, the Mechanism guy is just doing shit. He made a GoPro adapter and then stuck the Steam Deck on everything he could for the marketing email.

It is a dumb idea, he even mentioned that in the email.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Fair, but the title for the PC Gamer title sounds like the writer is taking it seriously, and they've had enough braindead takes they they don't get the benefit of the doubt from me anymore. I refuse to even click on the article.

Personally, I'm not a fan of Deck Mate, but I don't have a beef with the designer. My issue is with PC Gamer magazine

[–] x00z 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

What an overkill of a device...

I once came across some random woman who uploaded hours and hours of videos of her life on YouTube. It was just cameras in her house. She slept in the middle of the room. Extremely weird. Anyways back on topic, she had a metal arm that was mounted on the end of her bed which allowed her to have her phone above her head.

Thanks for reading.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

at first I was like this could be great and then the adapter 20 bucks and its like eff the right off.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

There's a version of this you can 3D print. It's on printables. Works well for slouch gaming.

[–] santo 1 points 1 week ago

That’s what the hard shell case is for, just prop it on top of it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I mean my hands do sometimes get tingly but I just move this is just lazy

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 week ago

Fuck, that's sad. Save for like some are saying idk accessibility issues & the like....don't play the steam deck in your bed, beds are for sleeping.
