That’s a bit unnecessary. I’m just pointing out people are trying to compare two things that aren’t the same.

By that logic though, I think Nintendo has a “dumb cock” for charging as much as they are for Switch 2, so I’m not really sure what it tastes like.

I see a lot of people ragging on the switch and comparing it to the Steam Deck. I own both but

I’m gonna say this: they’re not even direct competitors. They don’t offer the same experiences at all.

The beauty of the Switch is the ease of use, modularity of control, and communal nature of it. Even if switch online sucks, playing with other switches or 8 people in the same room with certain games is unbelievably easy. The plug and play usability and every single game you can buy from the internal store just works.

Not to mention the dock is flawless and literally easy to use. For all its problems, the switch is a surprisingly well executed idea. There’s a reason they sold hundreds of millions of them.

Steam is catching up, but there’s still a ways to go between proton compatible games, connecting controllers, plugging into a dock without having to bend down and plug a cable etc. The Switch is simply put: easy.

That said, Nintendo is stupid for pricing the Switch 2 out of the “no brainer” casual gamer territory.

Forums are where I learned literally everything about technology I know now. Every hack, jailbreak, method of bypassing something, building, literally anything I’ve done around my tech hobbies. Pi hole, emulation in the late 90s, how to use Photoshop, how to run Linux from a USB, everything I’ve learned from forums. I’m sad to think that me joining certain discords help deliver the death knell to the concept of forums.

Crypto. I didn’t spent a ton, but I didn’t make a ton either. I’m net up now but it’s so stupid.

I made 2K on Doge a few years ago, but ever since I’m just sitting on it. It’s not a loss unless you sell.
