I’m really excited by this. I sold my nintendo switch a while ago and I miss handheld gaming while going on trips. and also the fact that alot of games will probably be ported to linux because of this. what do you all think?

      Anyway, PC’s has all the features we need for handheld gaming. controller support. lan. etc. back then the idea of having a phone that doubles as a handheld console is really exciting to me. do you remember about the xperia play? The unique looking devices really fascinates me. I’m a big fan of the handheld form factor. if something like that exists, I can see myself using it to write my diaries and take pictures, use it for navigating around the city, communicating and play my rpg games.

      Why do you think it would be better than the Switch? Multiplayer compatibility, almost everyone runs steam either on windows, mac and linux. You can play with most people. and A large catalogue of games from years ago. all games are available other than console exclusives.

      Likely cheaper overall, especially considering I already have games on Steam that should work with this. But even without that, Switch games are crazy expensive and are rarely as deeply discounted as those you can buy on Steam.

        Yeah, Nintendo really coats their games in gold. It’s so weird I can buy Cyberpunk 2077 for half the price after half a year and 5 year old Nintendo games cost 60€ still.
