  When we’re talking game journalism, most of them aren’t even journalists, just 3rd party PR for publishers. Only thing they do is just forward marketing blurbs they receive, rather than journalism.

  Haha, I am researching like crazy as well. So far I came to the conclusion that I have 3 options:

  • get a Steam Deck
  • get a Lenovo Legion Go (more power but less battery life)
  • wait and see what will Lenovo Legion Go 2 be like

  So far I’m waiting. My current Switch isn’t going anywhere, but going forward I’m not going to spend much on games there.

  As someone with kids and a Switch, I think I can chime in.

  It’s easy to pick up, my kids play some games on it, curiously it’s always in handheld mode, never docked.

  The literal only thing that might change when I get a Steam Deck is them not being able to use touch controls. They sometimes prefer them for some games, but I think it’s worth learning to use a controller in the long run. Pretty sure we’ll have both Switch and SD for a while so I don’t think it’s much of a problem.

  I’ll miss some games, but in the end I don’t really have that much nostalgia for Nintendo as I grew up with a PC and only consoles I had were a NES knock-off, and a Gameboy Color

  IIRC it was only later models that were 4-9 hrs. Release model got 3-5 I think?

  They switched (heh) production in later hardware revisions to a more efficient version of the CPU, manufactured with lower nm process. Conveniently it was also to stop easy access to debug pins which were exposed in the OG version, giving easy access to entire system

  I know the solution, I’m just too slow to not be blown up halfway through executing it

  I love 1, but dexterity based puzzles are the reason I never finished it

  I think I read a comic where he is basically burnt alive in some kind of explosion and he goes through the regeneration process mentioning, I think, nerves are the worst to regenerate because it’s really painful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Improving my computer for GW2⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  GW2 is extremely CPU heavy, so you want to get the best CPU you can, as you said especially taking into consideration single core performance. GPU is of less concern so you should be fine with what you have I think. I run it on Ryzen 5 1600, and RX580 8GB. It runs alright, but you can really hear it. Biggest effect to me were CPU and SSD upgrades
