cringe, glad i bought a steamdeck instead of the switch 2

Same tbh. My OG switch is still chugging along just fine. No reason to upgrade, really.

I mean... The Switch hardware was obsolete before it even came out. Not saying you need a Switch 2, but you might want to consider upgrading to something.

Show me a more powerful handheld from the year 2017, that has the same (or smaller) size. Just 1 example is enough :)

Are you suggesting that the hardware wasn't extremely outdated?

The Tegra chip was 2+ years old at the time of release.

The Switch has been incredibly successful, has had solid first party games, and was successful with it's gimmick... But it's a fact that the hardware was outdated the moment it was released.

It does what I want it to, and works fine for the games I play on it. I also have a steam deck, as well as a gaming machine of Theseus, and a PS4, amongst numerous other systems for various purposes and uses. I honestly think I’m going to just straight up skip the S2.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 4 points 1 day ago

Why? If it does the job, why is an upgrade required? There are tons of games to be played on it, and as long as it keeps working, there's no reason one can't still have fun with it.

glad i dint buy the first switch, knowing that nintendo/masuda enshittfied the console and pokemon games. plus i dint want to pay all the fees for going online, haivng a pokemon storage+ DLC.

just like with thier TCP trading card game counterpart, tcp japan and tcpi is equally stupid; doing very little against scalpers and pokevesters.
