It's not a matter of performance. My SD can virtually all AAA games on Steam with reasonable frame rates. It's a matter of ergonomics, physical comfort, mood, and minset when I'm with the Deck vs with my gaming PC or gaming laptop. On my battlestation with a 32" 1440p 144hz monitor, it's "overkill" to run many of the indie games I want to play, not to mention not nearly as comfortable if I were to sit in front of my gaming chair instead of laying in bed or on my couch. Also, when on my computer, I'm always on Discord and I run a Discord server with 100+ people in it from all around the world. This incenticizes me to play multiplayer games with them and further demotivates me to launch a single-player or indie game.

On the SD, it creates an environment where I naturally seek to launch single-player, indie, story-focused, and relatively casual games that I can almost isolate myself and unwind with a good story in the palms of my hands. The SD allows me to extend my gaming to several parts of the house and world I've never played PC games in before. I've tried gaming laptops in bed via many methods and they are not comfortable. This is where SD really found its niche IMO.

In this video a guy managed to do it by asking ChatGPT to produce a melody in the form of a tuple expressing pitch and duration. Then he played it using Python and a library called Scamp. It's a pretty cool workaround to not being able to express music notes directly but I don't think it'll be winning any Grammy's soon.

Teletype is old tech. Chat bots are old tech (though still improving). Mechanically moving keyboards that registers its own typing as a human user is old tech (word processors). This is just an artistic and nostalgic amalgamation of blending old tech with modern innovations. I was chatting with Eliza on a Macintosh LC in 1986. The only differences are that the keys don’t physically move when Eliza produces output and the chatbot is much more refined and versatile.
