The Deck does not “obliterate” the Switch 2

For me it does. But I know that’s not objective fact. Just my subjective opinion.

The truth is, if what you want is “newest Nintendo games”, well, the Switch 2 is amazing.

I adjusted my mindset on games years ago. There are lots of games that I’d love to play, but because they aren’t on PC, I don’t play them. Because I already have more games than I could ever play. Hype and FOMO are powerful drugs, ones that I’m not immune to. But I am at least resistant to them.

There’s a good deal of misinformation here. The main part being disk space. While it is true that flatpak apps will take up more space, it’s not nearly as bad as you think it is. There is a lot of really good optimization going on under the hood that you don’t see. Dependencies are de duplicated. I’m no expert on it, but I believe that dependencies also have delta changes from one version to the next.

Regarding apps not supporting building of the source, you should get over that or do the work of supporting it yourself. Open source is a hard, usually thankless job.

I fucking teared up when Tarn smiled and showed the camera his secret in the final episode.

They’re all such sweet and genuine people who deserve to be happy.

I think they’d receive more flak for regarding the game in it’s current state. As it is, they’re giving you exactly what they say they are: a still in development game. People who are still buying into the game do it knowing the game is still in development.

I’m an early backer of the game. I got suckered into a ship upgrade during a “sale” within a year of backing the game. I’m not upset about that. But I think people who got suckered into spending hundreds of dollars on ships early on have more legitimate complaints than folks buying in right now. Early on, it wasn’t known how it was going to go down. There was a lot of hype. But now, you know what you’re getting.

And yes, I fully understand that backing games is risky, and we shouldn’t pre-order games. I’ve changed a lot in my buying habits in 10 years.

I think the legacy of the game will entirely depend on how it turns out. If they end up releasing a game that people love, all will be forgiven.
