@coolboymew What's the point of this shittier Nintendo Switch?
@coolboymew Why would I want to play PC games on some shitty handheld with a tiny screen and presumably no keyboard or mouse support?

And if it does have keyboard/mouse support, why would I drag around a keyboard and mouse to play on a tiny screen when I could just use my laptop?

@Ricotta @coolboymew
You know 90 percent of PC games come with gamepad support out of the box right?

Not to mention, that "tiny screen" had never been an issue for switch games, so why do you think yhe exactly same games will have issue when run on portable pc?

@LukeAlmighty @coolboymew Very few of the games I play have controller support, and of the ones that do, I still refuse to play them with anything but a keyboard and mouse. The only exceptions are shit like Ace Combat and American Truck Sim, but the latter is really only playable with a wheel.

@Ricotta @coolboymew
Not gonna lie, there are obviously games, that would be hell on deck.

War thunder already declared support(I think), but how the fuck am I supposed to play the "find black pixel" part is beyond me.

4x games with walls of text will be hell too. But that still keeps most games perfectly playable.

And... everyone is talking about emulation for a reason.

@bsdloli @coolboymew @Ricotta
Yes... and?
I have a computer too. But it isn't exactly portable you know.

@Ricotta @LukeAlmighty @coolboymew

I got one of those that can game. It also made me see the light and how good trackballs can be.

On the topic of the deck, it's a niche thing. I'm more hopeful that Valve will be able to use it as an excuse to make as many games available on linux without hassle as possible. Want to ditch windows but I find gaming on linux daunting.

Yeah, it is definitely niche.
What a shame though, since Switch is not considered Niche, even though, it offers so little.
