Can you imagine playing Factorio on Switch?

@LukeAlmighty any game that has a lot of menus is completely impossible to play on a controller

@LukeAlmighty no. Civ 6 is on Switch and it sucks. It's not the obvious lack of mouse + keyboard. It's that these games need more CPU power to do maths and they chug on a Switch.

@PonyPanda
Yeah, there is already a ridiculous discussion on that on Steam forum.

Also, I used to play the original X-com on phone. I am not too picky, but Factorio on gamepad seems too much for me. :omegalul:

@LukeAlmighty I'm pissed off that the age of mechanical engineering is over because of touch screen faggotry and electronics manufacturers being too chickenshit to make anything with moving parts. When I saw the Switch come out... my first thought was... "Wow. This is going to be cool. People can make all sorts of cool custom controllers for the Switch to dock into." The first thing I wanted was a shell to have the Switch vertical with the joycons on the side so I could play Shmups and maybe Nintendo would get Wonderswan games on the Nintendo Store and finally make peace with Gunpei Yokoi.

And now... nobody's had the balls to make some sort of controls to slide into the joycon mounts to make for better PC gaming. Like... why didn't anyone make a trackball joycon when they (lol) ported Overwatch to Switch?

Imagine something that slots into the left joycon mount. It's four columns of keys and the body of it is perpendicular to the body of the Switch. So you're holding your switch with your keyboard fingers on your left hand pointing to the right. And there's a handle underneath that that locks into the gap between your index finger and thumb so you can better hold your Switch.

Do you see a "show the results without voting" button under the poll?

@LukeAlmighty People are already playing it on Steam Deck. Why would it be different on Switch?

@Mac_CZ
1) deck is a bit more powerful
2) Deck has about 3 times the ammount of control options
3) Are they playing it on Deck? I've tried it, and it was horrible.

@Mac_CZ @LukeAlmighty On the Switch, the UI and controls will be specifically tailored to Switch. On SteamDeck, you are running the PC version, which is rather configurable but not tailor-made for SteamDeck. I am very interested in what modifications they will come up with for Switch.
