I am old enough to remember that Apple was the pirate of Silicon Valley, and then it became the most “cooperation” company in the industry. Then it’s Google then there will be a next one. It’s probably inevitable for any company to go this route.

This is why any politicians say they are bringing back the manufacturing jobs back to “US” “Japan” “Germany” or whatever are extremely dumb.

God of war 2016 PS 4 original setting at 720p on steam deck is about 30 fps. On ROG Ally afew frames less if you run it at 15 watts, at 45 watts Ally can probably do 720p at 50ish fps but less than an hour of battery. Ally is the top of line 2023 AMD tech apu and cost $700. Mobile technology is amazing right now, but it’s just not at a level where it can do 3 years old desktop graphics at a reasonable cost/power consumption.

How much loss though, $500+ devices can’t even do PS4 pro graphics and at a terrible (90min ish) battery life, and they are big/heavy. Plus Nintendo historically never sold their devices at a loss, even when they had total market dominance.

Steam deck and similar devices are 500 dollars and up, unless Nintendo is ready to sell devices that expensive, there’s no way Switch 2 is going to be on the same range of processing power.

I’ve got steam deck and ROG ally, both barely do 720p 45fps PS4 pro level games, and forget about battery life.

Expensive is a problem, another is it’s time consuming. If you only have time for one movie in cinema per week, you couldn’t afford to waste on conjuring 15 or superheroes copy pasta.

Thanks ! Haven’t heard of this one. Going to give it a try.

You just reminded me that I haven’t finished Bayonetta 3. I am going to get on it asap.

Finished it already, really enjoyed it. Probably something similar would be great.

Forgot to mention that I prefer PC games, but I do own all three current gen consoles.

Definitely a different vibe of people here, I have to actively tell myself to be less snarky and more positive to fit in.

Still waiting for them to shutdown OneDrive, tbh it’s a thousand times more annoying than Cortana.

This is actually a great idea!

This! I live in Taiwan, but 99% of my entertainment is from the US. I can’t use Any of these assistants in English otherwise street names or other Mandarin stuff won’t work, but if I use Mandarin assistants none of my music or shows works.

Did not know that Reddit is run by the Chinese government.
