I don’t see the problem with having both- they fill different niches.

Money. Steam Deck OLED costs in my country €700, Switch OLED €350-360 and the Switch 2 will be around the €560-600.

steam deck, I’d be really sad to not have any Mario kart, Zelda, etc…

I’m so close on purchasing a Steam Deck OLED to game in weekends or in bed after full 5 days behind a desk job. But I’m always worried that these games won’t work well with emulations. I’ve been researching like crazy but keep reading different things.

And spending €700 with uncertainty is not my favorite thing to do.

When Lemmy first got popular and all debates happened and such, I kept debating politely while they kept bashing, insulting and all that. I’m over that.

When I see such opinions now, I block them. They are seriously not worth my time, energy and effort. Let them wallow in their misery.

They won’t realize it but everything bad they hope happening to others will certainly bite them back sooner or later. The moment they do not fit their (own) ideology of fascism just a tiny bit, it’ll bite them back.

Seemed fun but I noped out of everything the moment, I heard the prices.

Steam Deck OLED + Emulations is the way to go.

Heavy emulator user here, the Deck made my Switch obsolete

Oh wow, that the Steam Deck had such an effect on the usage of the switch.

If you don’t mind the tinkering to get the emulators configured, the Deck is a no-brainer for me

I don’t really mind tinkering with it, already know my ways with emulation on PC. However, I have no knowledge on Linux and that’s what worries me a bit.

However, the Deck can also run every other console up until Switch/PS3/Xbox 360

So the Steam Deck can run the PS2 emulation and play these games (just as the PC can?).

Most of the games of the Switch I’d like to play are the Mario games. I can name them all if necessary but will do it later (at the moment at work).

On the Deck, ToTK can struggle to reach even 30 in many areas without community modpacks.

Can the Steam Deck run Breath of the Wild without issue?

As I’m uncertain how strict this instance is regarding sailing high seas, I’ll just mention that 95% of my games are through sailing the seas including emulating.

I’d recommend a Steam Deck

Alright! I will message you on Matrix but if it is okay, it’ll be on Saturday or Sunday due to work.

I got excited for one moment =[

Always love reading your posts!

You seem to emulate a lot on Steam Deck (right?). May I ask how smooth the emulation of Switch games goes?

I have been heavily debating between Switch OLED and the Steam Deck (and then emulate Switch games). But keep hearing different things about how smooth things run.

Steam deck going to cost €700 while Switch €550 (switch + get someone to mod it).

Also; I assumed that BlueSky can see posts from Mastodon but unfortunately can’t find you through BlueSky.
