      i’ve never cared about graphics in nintendo games, they don’t need to be amazing like the steam deck. that’s not the reason you buy a nintendo console.

      however, i was was playing totk yesterday, and it was so clear that the switch is underpowered. so much stuttering, and the lack of an antialiasing filter in that game is so obvious.

      I think Valve is about to pull a Nintendo on Nintendo. While they have been playing 3d chess against Sony and Microsoft, by focusing on the pure gaming aspects of gaming. The one blind spot they have always maintained was modding, emulation, and hardware communities. That plus shift how Xbox live wasn’t just a phase, but a elevation of the gaming experience.

      Valve has stayed constant following the gamers and answering their calls and concerns. Stayed true to gamers and the developers.

      As a life long Nintendo fan, this makes me happy and sad. picks up steamdeck

          It’s like gamers grew tired of filling their storage with last generations games (maybe not last, but definitely 2 generations prior) media because we were told they wouldn’t run on the next system.

          Xbox S has actually brought me back to console gaming a bit because 1) my Internet is shit, and 2) I don’t have to buy it rent physical media (2.5 I can play the games on my laptop as well, but I rarely use it since I’ve gotten the deck).

          Valve, and to a lesser extent their deck, has filled that (niche is too small of a word) void nearly perfectly, valve and emulation has brought a dump truck and back hoe to the big 3’s garden party.
