It's not the same because joycons are dogshit. Not only are they flimsy at the hinges but they drift insanely quickly. If the switch 2 isn't truly portable then I'm probably not going to buy it. Especially with how quickly people cracked and pirated switch games. I mean some of these games people were playing day 1 on PC at a higher framerate.

That's true of almost every handheld console. I was playing Pokémon Gold on my PC in Japanese months before the English release.

Ok. Nintendo fix them for free too, even includes free shipping.

>>683791403
I'm saying the problem shouldn't exist in the first place. I never had these issues on previous nintendo handhelds. In fact I dropped those things a fuck ton of times and they still worked afterwards. Meanwhile the switch breaks down with normall casual use. It's unacceptable really and I'm not dumb enough to fall for it twice. They really need to shape up with the switch 2 or I'm not buying

Because it's a hassle and I've just chosen to not use the switch in handheld mode. It's just a TV console for me now. I don't want to have to send the damn joycons in every few months to get fixed.

>>683791992
Yeah but by the time I was even interested it was already incredibly easy to just emulate so why bother? I would buy a new psp if they ever made one but they won't

Get them fixed retard, it's free, you aren't using the joycons anyway, and you can sell your console for more $$$ with working joycons if you really hate owning it that much.
Literally what's the downside?

I'm just supposed to believe one guy online when I've seen others say the opposite? I guess it couldn't hurt to send them in though is it's supposedly """free"""

It's literally free. They even paid for tracked shipping (at least in the UK).

Well maybe they use different ink in the UK because I actually do usually keep receipts but 90% of them fade within a month and the rest don't take much longer. Not even sure why they'd require proof of purchase for something like this. It just goes to show that as I said before a product should simply work right out of the box. If they fuck up like this with the switch 2 I'm just not buying and I've spend a lot of money on the switch so that's a good amount of money they just won't be getting

>>683790498
The PSP 2000 was the all time peak of hand helds. Followed by the 1000, then 3000. The DS and 3DS suffered from being an obligatory Pokemon machine while being riddled with shovelware. The vita was a catastrophic flop with no games at all, barely even shovelware to keep it alive.

Third party chinkshit emulators don't even enter the equation.

>>683793639
>Doesn't exist
Yes it does. I bought a phone with a week long battery life. It's one of the new Nokia ones.

So you can use a regular phone. Thanks for admitting it doesn't need to be a smart phone.

>>683793720
My iPhone SE (1st generation) has a week long battery life and has the 2FA app I need for work. It doesn't get OS updates anymore, but I don't give a shit. I use it for calls, texts, email, and 2FA, that's it.

Because I'm constantly on the move and need to respond to any communications from my boss or co-workers in under 5 minutes. A phone is far more convenient and works anywhere. A laptop doesn't.

Why would you need a smart phone for that?

>>683790880
Why are the bezels so big on the deck? Thats a lot of empty black screen.

>>683794042
Because some companies have decided that SMS and hardware keys aren't good enough for 2FA and you have to use their specific app, which is only on iOS and Android.

>>683794034
>need to respond to any communications from my boss or co-workers in under 5 minutes.
Why? Not even the emergency services respond that fast.

Smart phones aren't the reason your life is in the shitter, your lack of self control and inability to not sperg out is.
>>683794392
Because I need 2FA to sign into my work laptop and I cannot install any unapproved applications on it.

>>683794217
Whats wrong with Dissidia?

>>683794161
Put simply: higher highs, lower lows. Steam Deck has better 0.1% and 1% FPS but the Ally peaks higher. The Ally runs on Windows so there are some games it can run that the Deck just can't, but that number is actually pretty small these days thanks to Proton.

Personally the biggest difference is the thumbpads. Having used the thumbpads I 100% cannot go back to Ally, they are awesome (and Steam Input gives you some crazy options for them)

>>683794442
>Need? No.
Thanks for confining I was right (and you were wrong).

>>683794545
Thank you. I live in a rather 3rd world country so I'm kinda afraid of ordering a Deck and wait to arrive without worrying that it might get stolen in the process and I've found a rog ally ryzen z1 with nearly half the deck's price so I got curious if it's worth it.

yes. it only exists because kikes want to harvest people's phone numbers and personal data. and it's actually 1FA because your phone number alone can be used to change your password

Genuinely, why? The whole point of these small handheld devices was so kids could stick it in their pockets when their parents drag them somewhere they don't want to go like a family reunion or shopping or something. As an adult, if you're out doing something it's because you actually have stuff you need to do, so you're not gonna whip out your gameboy. So it makes sense for these devices to get bigger, since they'll mainly be used at home.
