      Steam Deck is looking more and more like a really good alternative and it’s kind of making me regret ever getting the switch, which I originally got because of Zelda, really.

      Nothing that has come out since, or that could come out in the future, will ever make me regret hitting 360 hours in BotW, reflecting, “Was that worth a dollar an hour? Yes, yes it was.” And then playing for another 600 hours.

        I bought TotK collectors edition and could not play it on the switch. Ripped my copy, played it on PC emulated at 1440p 60 fps, regret nothing. The Switch has great games, the hardware just sucks. I don’t even play mine anymore because I’d rather play the games on PC.

      I frigging love my Steam Deck. It’s not about the fact that it’s a more powerful machine, but rather the ergonomics.

      I never played my Switch in handheld mode without instant hand pain until I got the Satisfye hand grip. I’ll sound like an infomercial for that thing but it’s true. It increased my handheld playtime but a thousand fold. Xenoblade, Skyward Sword, Metroid Prime - anything that uses the shoulder buttons basically - only able to play handheld due to that stupid grip.

      I’ve got a Steam Deck as well, which is great, but that grip made it possible to use my Switch again without having to take over the living room TV.
