The performance was never the consideration for Nintendo. They want a handheld that can last a long time, so they will always clock their chips down. You can't compare 30 watts all the time to 30 watts plugged in, let alone 5 watts in handheld mode.

Steam Decks are great, but lets be real; when you play a big AAA title, even on moderate settings, you might get two hours out of the machine pushing it to the limit at full TDP.

This is kind of a nothingburger story. We always knew Nintendo were not going to scale their machines up to the level of PC gaming handhelds.

Going after the one person still interested in Marvel content? Bold move, Disney; we'll see how it pans out.

He's also the one who told the Emperor to move out of his sunlight.

Man, what a guy.

Alexander the Great comes up to you and says "if I was not me, I wish I were you" and your response is "If I wasn't myself, I'd still wish to be myself".

Unfathomably based.

"Our company doesn't make money, it also is projected to not be able to continue to make money. We've attempted multiple ways of monetizing the userbase, all of which has not recouped costs. We value ourselves at 6.4 billion dollars."

lol, she said.

Casual sex has always implied the existence of competitive sex. Glad to see we're finally getting there.

I'm so tired of reddit crossposts, they're fucking useless.

They have a monopoly but that's because they're just the best service. It's not just that they were the first, they're just consistently the best. Everybody who has spun up another ancillary launcher and DRM service has always made an inferior product to Valve's.

Epic games bribes you with free games, launched without a functioning cart, and hoovers your data.

EA has gone through Origin and the EA app, both of which are awful; Origin being the butt of jokes for years and the EA app being an unstable piece of garbage that logs you out every day with "a particularly annoying bug".

Ubisoft. Self explanatory.

I could keep going on, but Valve earned their position in the market. Could they reduce the cut and still exist with a good profit? Absolutely, but that's the only thing I'd really want them to change - treat the devs a bit more fairly.

It's a perfect digitization of D&D 5th edition - it's like having an automatic dungeon master using the rules and regulations we've been playing with on paper for ages.

It has a massive plot that can vary wildly on playthroughs depending on how rolls go, just like the real version.

It's four-player co-op with PVE in an age where cooperation is increasingly rare outside of competitive team games.

It's a well designed, properly built, finished product that can be expanded on with DLC, rather than using them to address core gameplay issues. (looking at you Paradox)
