Explain why you bought a switch over a steamdeck
>>
>>720058949
Because you dont have to mess with trying to pirate stuff and get viruses, instability, etc.
>>
I have both. I play Nintendo games on my switch, and everything else on my deck.
>b-but the deck cant run everythin-
If I'm out somewhere that requires I use either portable, chances are I don't need the extra horsepower to run "real" vidya, that's what my pc at home is for.
>>
>>720058949
it was 2019 and nothing better existed

>>720058949
because the switch emulator on AMD CPUs has annoying graphical glitches.

how do you get the trilogy to run properly on deck? I had to switch to the GC rom for primehack and that runs flawlessly, I try to run the trilogy and it drops to 40 fps and gets major slowdowns

Steam doesn't sell monthly subscriptions, but Nintendo do, so I bought a Switch so I can buy subscriptions.

Why the fuck would you buy a Stram deck ever? You have a fucking PC. It's essentially a fucking laptop.

you'd have to be retarded to buy switch 2 with how little games it has and that the oled model is around the corner

Cool bro. Now show me your Switch running Noita, Megaquarium, Parkitect, Anno 1404, and Sim City 4 with mods.

Switch has games. Steam deck is just another PC.

so I could pirate a lot of switch games without waiting for emulation

the switch 2 already outsold the deck's lifetime sales in a month
but surely everyone will sell their switch 2 and buy a deck tomorrow so they can play this masterpiece you just mentioned
>>
>>720066665
Browns would shill Linux before they shill windows so I think you have it backwards.
>>
>>720066668
It probably will be.
SH2 isn't on Xbox yet but as a rule going forward if it'll run on series s without being super cpu bound it'll run on Switch 2 without massive changes to the game(silent hill on pc is playable at 60 on literal decade+ mid range processors btw)
>>
>>720066668
It's on PS2 and OG Xbox

Lmao
>>
>>720067070
you said the same about games like the witcher and doom never being on the switch 1
these current gen games will get ported to the switch 2 eventually, but they'll never be playable on the deck, unless you consider sub 20fps at the lowest settings playable
>>
>>720067408
>unless you consider sub 20fps playable
You think doom on switch is playable so which is it?
>>
>>720067495
runs better than any ps5 game on the deck
there's a reason why deck users only play old games and 2d or low poly indies
>>
>>720067753
And how do those ps5 games run on switch 2?
Reminder cyberpunk runs better on deck than switch2

you bought a switch 2 to play star wars outlaws? seriously?

>>720065525
This has ironically been the case with one of my friends who has a Switch and then a Steamdeck. He pretty much just looked up guides on Youtube learning how to put roms and emulators on the Steam Deck and since he knows I have entire libraries of retro games all the way up to the PS3 it's been a fun team experience seeing what works, what doesn't an how well different emulators run games on the Steam Deck. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Reminder that Deck has lossless scaling, which effectively renders your copes redundant.

If I'm at home I'd rather use my PC or I would if MSI board weren't dogshit and if I'm outside long enough to justify a bringing a gaming device, the Steam Deck is easier to pick up and put down as needed.

You're not getting a laptop that's as efficient as the Steam Deck for 500 bucks.
>>
>>720058949
I bought both, and a Switch 2. PS5 and Xbox have no exclusives though, so I didn't bother with those.
>>
>>720072117
PC has more good exclusives than all consoles combined. The Deck is a PC.

>>720058949
because I have 500 digital games in my steam library. Does Nintendo still fuck over people who had digital copies of games during the previous. They could easily let you still own the games you had during the wiiu or switch one if they weren't greedy.

The only time to ever buy a console in the middle of the generation is it it has accrued a bunch of good exclusives.

Steam Deck has no exclusives and is underpowered at this point. I'll just wait for the Deck 2 in '28.
