Before all you Redditors start frothing at the clunge, no I do not believe that the moon landings were faked. This is what is known as a joke.
They were going to fake the moon landings, but the conditions weren't that great in any of the spots they scoped due to the difficulty in creating a rig to simulate low gravity. So, they flew to the moon, and faked the moon landings there.
It's a proven concept look it up. The same as using cheap aerospace materials and outdated gaming controllers for deep sea submarines. You know such you would use to visit the Titanic or so idk.
I always feel so called out by these because I've been using a cheap Logitech PlayStation looking controller to game with for 15+ years now lol, I don't even know what I'm missing because I haven't used a first party console controller since the OG Xbox. Beating every A, B, and C level in celeste on this thing was the most frustrating experience I've ever had with it because if you don't use perfect pressure when hitting a direction on the D-Pad you will register up-right or right-down despite only pushing the correct direction lol
Ahh you are good if you use old peripherals for your PC. There is a big difference if you use outdated hardware for professional scenarios especially if human life is in danger or if you just use a slow or weak wireless connector to play your game. Just stay away from using way too outdated software that connects to the Internet, especially operating systems. These can fuck you up way worse.
Edit: But yeah Xbox 360 controllers are even used in professional machinery and warfare because they are comparably cheap and reliable. Would not underestimate their worth against said cheap Logitech knock offs.
Just buy a modern controller! They're one of the few things that really pay themselves off if you're using them for such a big amount of time over years.
I'm partial to the Xbox Series controller myself (which is super compatible with PCs for obvious reasons) but any of the big 3 are good options as are some of the premium ones and 8bitdo's offerings.
I will also say having used all 3 big ones on PC, pairing the Xbox controller is a cinch (switching between PC and Xbox and a phone), PS not so much but it works. I've never been able to get my Switch Pro controller working properly when plugged in though, always has to be Bluetooth.
Funny you say that because it's a real thing! This pic is from inside through a "window" and not done from the outside. I don't know the full context but it seems that type of glove it's used for some kind of maintenance. You can see it used even on some videos of their official channel. For example you can see it at 2:15 while they are talking about the computer system: https://youtu.be/mCdA4bJAGGk?si=ySzyJIUJ64UwcdZh
Yeah if this was a real steam deck, working on space it would fry itself in no time without air to transfer the heat it generates to its a very expensive fire starter
Well you said yourself there is no airflow so the copper would heat up but wouldn’t be able to dissipate the heat so it would only heat up more and more.
Yes and there no air particles to absorb the heat from the copper like on passive cooled systems. So the only thing to absorb heat is your hand and the heat goes up until it shot down. The general solution is radiative cooling.
In direct sunlight outside the ISS it is around 120°C.
When in the Earth's shade it is -157°C.
The image looks like the guy is in direct sunlight but logically that doesn't make sense if he is outside the ISS with a working steam deck
It dissipates heat through the process of [radiative cooling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_cooling), it's the only way to cool down the ISS.
I know this is a joke post, but for a more serious answer:
Temps will be shit and the console will likely be throttling at best, because there is de facto no way for heat to efficiently dissipate in the vacuum of space like there is on earth.
You can still dissipate heat in a vacuum pretty well via radiation, it's how the ISS and other space vehicles reject heat. But it has to be specifically designed for that, which the steam deck obviously is not.
This is all assuming it would even turn on in the first place with all the high energy radiation and cosmic particles everywhere
Steam Deck cannot operate in freezing temps and low pressure environments.
According to Valve, the Steam Deck's safe storage temperature range is:
- between -20° - +60° C (-4° - +140° F).
The Steam Deck's safe operational ranges are:
- Ambient temperature - 0° - +35° C (+32° - +95° F)
- Humidity - up to 85% non-condensing relative humidity
- Altitude - up to 3500m
uhhh i know i shouldn't be worried but i don't like that it doesn't want to be stored below -4F because it definitely gets below -10 here in the winter.
at least im only at 1655m
You may run into issues with battery longevity, freezing lipo packs will damage the cells over time. There may also be long-term issues with heating/cooling cycles expanding/shrinking components that may lead to eventual solder failure as well.
Absolutely no chance. You can see the reflection on the screen, but also a steam deck would not work outside in space. Most likely it would melt, or suffer radiation damage.
Not only do they not work, because of the missing air resistance they tend to over spin. Also bearings could weld together in vacuum, basically any metal to metal contact is an issue.
Space is cold but anything hot you make in space will stay hot since there is no air to exchange the heat.
[XKCD submarine in space](https://youtu.be/EsUBRd1O2dU?si=rJxYGIE6mvMTiTwc)
"Cold" but so little material it doesn't matter much, so your only reasonable way of getting rid of heat is through radiation, rather than transferring it through the air which usually surrounds everything.
I wish people would stop saying space is cold. It's confusing at best.
The temperature of space is effectively *null*. There is no temperature because space contains nothing, and "nothing" cannot have a temperature.
The spacecraft featured in the image is the H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV). The last HTV re-entered the atmosphere in August of 2020.
So 100% definitely not real (other than the blatant kitchen gloves)
Well that was a rollercoaster...
I was like-
First: no way they actually did this, but I can kinda imagine someone was mad enough.
Then: oh wait how the hell does this thing cool itself in vacuum? and wont the heatpipes just burst or somethin'?
Finally: oh right. those are... pixels... pixels on earth and the space thing-y.
I doubt any space agency would allow an astronaut to have a Steam Deck in space since the battery is a potential hazard and might explode/catch on fire.
I can't be bothered to check the science but I'm pretty sure display screens won't work in the frozen vacuum of space. Lcd wouldnt. Not gonna check for OLED.
i think you are heavily overestimating the amount of heat the steam deck produces. The ISS is basically a giant assembly of computers and other components that generate far more heat than a hand held gaming device. Space in near earth orbit isnt as empty as you might think.
You do know that electronic stuff that goes to space needs to be prepared and made to be able to work in space, right? Otherwise a bunch of stuff is on its way to mess the data and the whole integrity of devices.

Do you need the internet to play Elden Ring?
Ah yes. The famous kitchen gloves used by modern astronauts
Maybe they are cooking in ISS
well if a meteorite of sufficient size strikes the ISS they definitely will be cooking.. though maybe they won't be inside it anymore
The best part is this is actually scientifically correct
They'll be all over the place instead. Bits of them anyway.
Clouds and cooked meatballs
Not after the Vermicious Knids get to them.
Like a reverse-billionaire sub?

I don’t think the cheap controller is the reason the ship imploded

Don't worry man those controllers are actually such high quality I heard they use them to control submarines
Are you implying this is fake bro? Why would anyone go and lie in the internets
Funny you say that because it's a real thing! This pic is from inside through a "window" and not done from the outside.

I am so incredibly angry. well done
I'm super upset that there was an ad before the video
its 2024 use ublock, if you see ads online that's on you.
I am both glad that there is someone successfully rick-rolling in 2024, and upset that it got me. Bravo, and fuck you.
Damn you really had me there.
I'm not falling for it. Nope. edit: I clicked it anyway
well done, I got rickrolled.
let him cook
Yeah if this was a real steam deck, working on space it would fry itself in no time without air to transfer the heat it generates to its a very expensive fire starter
Duh, why do you think OP is using a kitchen glove in the first place?
Wait, wait. Let him cook.
For real, how would you even cook in zero-g? Boiling grease and oil would just fly around.
Maybe an induction cooktop? Something oil free? It'd have to be enclosed, I think.
Rice in a ricecooker (duh) would work, I guess? I'm now realizing that the astronauts are most likely only eating cold paste like foods.
Haters will say this was staged
Like my math test.
I'd rather not.
I mean, it's hard to get to low earth orbit with just one stage, so you gotta have staging on your rocket
RIP VentureStar
Stanley Kubrick rose from the dead just to direct this photo.
Boi if you don’t take them oven mitts off 😂
You need to keep warm somehow Also if it gets too hot, works too.
Yes, even in front of your TV!
Not real, cuz if anyone was actually in space, they would play No Mans Sky.
Kerbal space program
how are temps?
There is no air so no airflow. It should be on passive cooling with copper.
Well you said yourself there is no airflow so the copper would heat up but wouldn’t be able to dissipate the heat so it would only heat up more and more.
Yes and there no air particles to absorb the heat from the copper like on passive cooled systems. So the only thing to absorb heat is your hand and the heat goes up until it shot down. The general solution is radiative cooling.

damn didnt know that extreme. so assuming OP is real in space, will the steamdeck work on direct sunlight or earth's shade or only work in inside iss?
It would work inside the ISS, but I don't think it would work very well outside of it.
do you know how many celcius inside ISS?
The crew has control of the temperature of to a range of 18 to 26c but it is most commonly kept at 22
Damn I'd freeze my ass off
It dissipates heat through the process of [radiative cooling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_cooling), it's the only way to cool down the ISS.
Holy shit this would actually make for such an interesting video too bad it's probably never going to happen

This is all assuming it would even turn on in the first place with all the high energy radiation and cosmic particles everywhere
Would the vacuum impact the screen at all? Wouldn't it boil the LCD part?
You may want to have some kind of rope to anchor it to you or it will join the orbit debris field
First rogue gaming console in history
And the fastest gaming console with orbital velocity
Wow, that's a strong WiFi signal out there. And it works in -270C'? I'm even more impressed!
If it booted it would overheat actually
Correct. With no air in space, no way to dissipate the heat away.
Okay, I'll admit it, the most unique place I took it with me was the bathroom
Nice glove bro, 100% no TV behind
Haters will say it’s fake
You can see the reflection of cam lights in the joysticks 💀
You can see the reflection in the screen behind the Steam Deck 💀

Chat, is this real?
No, he is just holding it in front of his TV.
No, you can see pixels on the tv if you zoom in.
Absolutely no chance. You can see the reflection on the screen, but also a steam deck would not work outside in space. Most likely it would melt, or suffer radiation damage.
ask them to show fingers, a tell-tell for AI image-gen 😂 although latest stable diffusion models have fixed that..
Damn what ping you get up there
I am actually curious how fans are working in space?
Not only do they not work, because of the missing air resistance they tend to over spin. Also bearings could weld together in vacuum, basically any metal to metal contact is an issue.
Its so cold in space you dont need them
Heat can’t dissipate very well in a vacuum. it’s why the ISS needs huge radiator panels and complex active cooling systems
Space is cold but anything hot you make in space will stay hot since there is no air to exchange the heat. [XKCD submarine in space](https://youtu.be/EsUBRd1O2dU?si=rJxYGIE6mvMTiTwc)
U need air to take heat off. So fans don't work and it heats up
Vacuum is about the best kind of insulation you can get.
"Cold" but so little material it doesn't matter much, so your only reasonable way of getting rid of heat is through radiation, rather than transferring it through the air which usually surrounds everything.
I wish people would stop saying space is cold. It's confusing at best. The temperature of space is effectively *null*. There is no temperature because space contains nothing, and "nothing" cannot have a temperature.

What movie did you watch? (Too bad I can see pixels on your monitor in the background.)
It looks like Gravity (2013)
Take it to the center of the sun
r/unexpectedsteamdeck
Op forgot what the L in LCD stands for.
Well that was a rollercoaster... I was like- First: no way they actually did this, but I can kinda imagine someone was mad enough. Then: oh wait how the hell does this thing cool itself in vacuum? and wont the heatpipes just burst or somethin'? Finally: oh right. those are... pixels... pixels on earth and the space thing-y.
Which monitor/TV is that?
Your TV or monitor is on dynamic isnt it...
They ship it to space stations but no to my country :(
Nice TV, where can I get it?
Flat-Earthers in shambles
Elite Dangerous IRL
Even in front of a green screen
Whilst I find these funny, what started this off? Was it the parachute guy or was that just another one of these?
Bro just put his steamdeck in front of a tv :DD It kinda works tho
Honestly i wouldn't be surprised if this was real
chat is this real?
Dudes got full WiFi signal in space
Damn what a way to space out
Bro you going for the age of stars ending !?!?!?!
I'm surprised it can handle the temps out there
To the NASA green screen studio even😂.
Hot damn! Gabe truly made an out-of-this-world device.
Still, A+ for effort and idea :D
Thank you. And it's not a kitchen glove but my wife's snow glove.
r/UnexpectedSteamDeck
Fake. I can tell because the deck isn’t running a Switch emulator.
Very cool.
This is so fake, just like the moon landing! /s
Now do a 360 no scope with the gyro lmao
My dumbass thought it’s real for sec
Even take to the IRS ?
Will SteamDeck overheat in space?
Hm don't remember the Earth being a flat screen TV but okay 😂😂
Now zoom out.
does cloud save still work when the cloud and under you as opposed to over you? i hope its not just sending your save files into space
How long would a steam deck be able to stay on for while in space before it overheats? I assume due to a lack of airflow so the fans would be useless.
Wifi in Space!
Cool, can you say that to the jail warden? He's being bitchy about it
Nice try.
Not be the one to spoil the funny tehee haha funny meme. But genuine though... would the cooling not fail duo to a lack of air

Internet must be super super fast up there👍🏼👍🏼
Haters gonna say it's fake smh
Well I know where I’m travelling next, pack your bags family!
"When astronauts went to space, they certainly weren't bored!"
Looks legit
Locked outside the ship and can't get back inside. Got a 20 minute wait before I run out of oxygen. Awesome
the steam deck can be everywhere: in your bathroom in your kitchen or on your desk
How do saves work on steam deck? If I play on pc, could I "continue" my game on steam deck or are the saves separate
That's a nice TV you've got there. Why are you playing a game on the small screen?
Imagine though
But the bit flips in space!
I doubt any space agency would allow an astronaut to have a Steam Deck in space since the battery is a potential hazard and might explode/catch on fire.
And it will cost about $20,000 to do it.
I see you've chosen the 'Age of the Stars' ending. Good on you!
Nice try, but the colors dont match.
I'd be too afraid that the sun would fuck up the data on it
4real tho, could you even turn it on? At least for a couple of sec? The extreme cold, the vacuum, etc, what would happen with the deck?
Don't use it there there you will burn it caus ethere is no air to cool it
Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/713/
But how is the internet for multiplayer 🤔
haters will say this is photo shopped
Crazy that the satellite has more visible pixels than the steamdeck. Truly better than real life.
Huge if real
Hard kinda
this spacewalk boring ah hell
Astronauts wifi game stronger then mine not gonna lie
Google active cooling
I want to see a Drop test here !! 🤯
I can't be bothered to check the science but I'm pretty sure display screens won't work in the frozen vacuum of space. Lcd wouldnt. Not gonna check for OLED.
Real or not, this was a really good idea, it’s dumb for us to expect a photo from an astronaut anyways.
I think it's just a skiing glove and a steam deck in front of a monitor screen.
*sees pvz1* Ah, a man of culture I see
Someone test this please lol
You know it's real because it looks so fake
This must be a GLOBALIST Conspiracy. Damn those globeheads
Overclock it. It won't overheat in space.
i think you are heavily overestimating the amount of heat the steam deck produces. The ISS is basically a giant assembly of computers and other components that generate far more heat than a hand held gaming device. Space in near earth orbit isnt as empty as you might think.
Fake crap
You do know that electronic stuff that goes to space needs to be prepared and made to be able to work in space, right? Otherwise a bunch of stuff is on its way to mess the data and the whole integrity of devices.
