I'm thinking about getting a handheld as I'm spending more time away from my house and PC. I don't want to get buy hundreds of dollars of games to go with it.

3ds xl / switch / Steam deck / Legion?

There seems a lot of options and all have plenty of games to them. Is there an obvious choice that I'm not aware of?

Thanks.

EDIT: Thanks for the info, a lot to think about. Basically it seems to come down to money anerbic // new 3ds xl // Steam deck. There'll be games on any system that I'll be happy with.

So for the first 100 or so hours I've played of this game I was mostly in PvE servers with the occasional PvP experience. This last week I've been constantly PvP'd while trying to complete quests. If the PvE servers are being disbanded, I guess I've gotten my value for the money I've spent but I'm likely done with this game at this point. I don't have the time to fight sweaty PvP players every round, I don't enjoy it. I prefer the Terminator story to the Mad Max one. I'm happy to potter through my quests and fight arc, but I can't do that anymore. I don't have the skill for PvP, nor the personal inclination for it.

I've also been killed by a bunch of people grouping in Solo where a few players make a coordinated effort to kill me, they're all wearing the same uniform.

SOLUTION EDIT:

So my solution has been to order a refurbished Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen2 with the dongle. It was $100 cheaper than the gen3 and I'm not that flush with cash that $100AUD doesn't make a difference to me.

I can use the LDAC codec with the XM4s but it switches the mic off. I can't get stereo and mic working at the same time likely due to the limitations of the bluetooth protocol.

I was also considering a blue yeti mic on a boom but it was looking to be the same price as the Turtle Beach refurbs.

Thanks everyone for all your input. Much appreciated.

Hi everyone.

So I'm trying to use my Sony wireless cans over bluetooth for Arc Raiders and the mic isn't very good at all. It's better in discord but my friends tell me it's still not great.

I'm aware of bluetooth duplex quality issues. It used to work fine on Windows 10 but is struggling on Bazzite. I'd love to just tinker with some settings or drivers and have it work so I don't have to buy anything else.

I'm prepared to buy a wireless headset with 2.4ghz dongle but don't know what's good.

I'm also prepared to buy a microphone and just use the headset as headphones only.

I've done about five years help desk support so would strongly prefer not to be physically tethered to my computer.

Thanks for any advice.

I went through SolarQuotes.com.au to get an idea of battery installation prices. I've already got 6.6kw of solar.

Everything seemed to come out at around $800-$1000/1kw of storage which seems huge. I feel solarquotes attracts high priced quotes the same way hi-pages does.

At the prices I'm seeing I'm more likely to buy a tired Nissan Leaf ($20k) to act as the battery given they come with a 40kw(at new) battery and use the Japanese ChadMEO 2-way-charging.

Thoughts?

Thanks.
