[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 27 points 3 months ago (11 children) I play my Steam Deck more than I play my Switch 2. permalink fedilink source hideshow 11 child comments replies: [–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 11 points 3 months ago (7 children) Likewise. The Switch 2 is a very nice handheld, but it doesn’t hold a candle to having a never-locked-down x86 PC in your hands. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago* (6 children) it also costs half as much as a steamdeck. you're comparing a Civic to a BMW3 series and asking why the Civic doesn't have leather seats and a 5K audio system. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 child) If you want to discuss prices, discuss them fully. The Deck is more expensive, but the games are cheaper. And the day I bought the Deck I already had a massive collection, with many more games added for free from epic, giveaways.... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world -5 points 3 months ago* Depends on when you buy the game. New retail games on steam deck are still 50-60 bucks. I can also find massive discounts on digital games on switch. I just bought like a bunch of $5 or less games on the last eshop sale. Does Zelda and Mario go on sale for $5? No. They go on sale for like $30-40. I also just bought Mario Odsyessy for $40. I'm happy to pay these prices. Cool if you are not? Lots of people buy shit I would never spend my money on. I haven't bought a gaming PC in 15 years, because it me it seems like a huge waste of money and time. Almost as if other people have different preferences, and priorities than you do? And they are happy to buy products you are not. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 5 points 3 months ago (3 children) Well, it does NOW.

My 3DS has been my daily driver since 2012, and so far only needed to replace the thumbstick because the rubber degraded.
