  It doesn’t really need it, you can just buy and play it, and it got a graphics update a while ago, so to me at least it looks as good as it looked back in 2005 when I first booted it up

  When we’re talking game journalism, most of them aren’t even journalists, just 3rd party PR for publishers. Only thing they do is just forward marketing blurbs they receive, rather than journalism.

  Haha, I am researching like crazy as well. So far I came to the conclusion that I have 3 options:

  • get a Steam Deck
  • get a Lenovo Legion Go (more power but less battery life)
  • wait and see what will Lenovo Legion Go 2 be like

  So far I’m waiting. My current Switch isn’t going anywhere, but going forward I’m not going to spend much on games there.

  As someone with kids and a Switch, I think I can chime in.

  It’s easy to pick up, my kids play some games on it, curiously it’s always in handheld mode, never docked.

  The literal only thing that might change when I get a Steam Deck is them not being able to use touch controls. They sometimes prefer them for some games, but I think it’s worth learning to use a controller in the long run. Pretty sure we’ll have both Switch and SD for a while so I don’t think it’s much of a problem.

  I’ll miss some games, but in the end I don’t really have that much nostalgia for Nintendo as I grew up with a PC and only consoles I had were a NES knock-off, and a Gameboy Color

  IIRC it was only later models that were 4-9 hrs. Release model got 3-5 I think?

  They switched (heh) production in later hardware revisions to a more efficient version of the CPU, manufactured with lower nm process. Conveniently it was also to stop easy access to debug pins which were exposed in the OG version, giving easy access to entire system

  Loved the film as a kid, would be down to watch that series if it was ever created!

  I use sync occasionally, and I found it has some features literally no other app has (or I’m too dumb to find them) like easy instance switching. It’s right there on the main screen, you just click instances, pick a federated instance, and boom, now you’re seeing stuff from that instance. I wish more apps has that.
